Karol Bagh is a market first and a place to live second. Ajmal Khan Road is the spine of it, a walking street closed to cars, lined with clothes shops, shoe shops and food stalls, busy from late morning until about ten at night. The lanes around it each sell one thing: Gaffar Market for phones and imported electronics, Bank Street for gold, Arya Samaj Road for car parts and wholesale trade. Most men who call us from here are traders, or buyers in town for a few days of purchasing. That mix decides the timing. Bookings from Karol Bagh come late, after the shutters are down and the buying is finished.
Karol Bagh has its own station on the Blue Line, three stops from Rajiv Chowk, so a girl coming from the Connaught Place side or from east Delhi reaches you without a long road journey. New Delhi Railway Station is three kilometres east, with Paharganj between the two, so read that page instead if your room is nearer the station. Pusa Road stays jammed all evening, so a planned booking needs about forty minutes' notice, and less after 11 PM once the market empties.
The hotels here are not one type, and the way a girl walks in changes with each. The guest houses in the lanes behind Ajmal Khan Road are among the cheapest beds in west-central Delhi, with one man at the desk and nobody asking who is with you. Above them sit the mid-range business hotels along Pusa Road and towards Rajendra Place, which keep a proper reception, a guest register and a lift that needs a card. In those she comes up as your guest, and you give the room number only once she is in the lobby. The newer boutique properties on the Rohtak Road side run the tightest night security of the three. Tell us which grade you are in when you call, because we brief the girl differently.
If you are still working out what you want from the evening, our services page sets out what the girls cover.
