Janpath

Janpath, translated as the "People's Path" is one of the main roads in New Delhi. It starts out as Radial Road 1 in Connaught Place, adjacent to Palika Bazaar and runs North-South perpendicular to, and past Rajpath (the "Rulers' path").
The Indian Tourist Office is on the corner of Janpath and Connaught Lane, and good maps can be purchased here. Between Fire Lane and the Imperial Hotel, the Tibetan Market can be found which has a wide range of Himalayan arts and crafts. Musical instruments, wall hangings and bead shops are in abundance. Behind the Tibetan Market, on Tolstoy Marg is the fabulous Jantar Mantar, an astrological instrument of immense proportions which is well worth a visit.
South of Rajpath is the National Museum, which will take half a day to wander through.
Tourists should be wary of the large number of stray dogs that roam the area. Template:India-geo-stub
