While your hotel will be the place you lay your hat while you’re here, there are fantastic urban adventures to be had in the city. Delhi is one of the oldest continually-occupied cities in the world, and it is extremely rich in history and culture. People watching is at a premium here, where the whole human drama plays itself out daily on the streets here. And there are excellent tours and sight-seeing opportunities here that the whole family can enjoy. There are also monitor lizards here. Wait. Monitor lizards in Delhi?
There are a lot of myths about these creatures, and they are terribly terribly interesting. They are endangered, and poachers and smugglers still try to capture them for their meat. It is believed in some circles that their tails hold aphrodisiac powers, and there are other legends, but one thing is certain: spotting one is a very rare event, and a remarkable one. They don’t move very fast when in the light of day, so it’s best to call the authorities right away, to keep the lizards safe and away from humans. There is an excellent organization in Delhi called Wildlife S.O.S., and they receive some interesting phone calls. Scared citizens will call about the snake in their yard with claws, and crowds will be gathering around the small dragon with a snake’s tongue. At least one of the employees of Wildlife S.O.S., Kapur, once worked as a snake charmer, so he’s well-prepared to meet small dragons. Monitor lizards, however, are harmless, and rather beautiful creatures that help make India an interesting place.
