Welcome to AES and the NESA Winter Training Institute!<br />Within this letter we have included some practical information we hope will ensure you have a wonderful time here in Delhi.  Some tips for navigating Delhi adventures are listed below.<br />Indian Visa:  Make sure you are in possession of a valid Indian Visa before leaving home.  Depending on the documents you need for applying it could be either a conference visa or a tourist visa, whichever is easier for you. There is no provision of ‘Visa on Arrival’ in India.<br />Updates in India Visa Regulations:<br />Recent revisions with visa regulations primarily affect travelers who wish to enter India within two months of their last departure from India with all types of tourist visas. Anyone traveling to India for a second time within two months needs to contact the nearest Indian Embassy or consulate in their country for assistance on how to proceed before coming to India.<br />Currency Exchange: Currency exchange counters are available at the airports and may also be at the hotel you are staying.  There are two banks near AES that change money:<br />,[object Object]
Central Bank of IndiaTimings: 24 hoursAshoka Hotel Chanakya Puri, New DelhiThere is an ATM machine in the near by Malcha Marg Market area.<br />Best way to come from airport:<br />1905045085Recommend using the Pre-paid taxi service from the airport, if you have not already arranged for pick-up through your hotel.  As you walk out of the terminal, the left side takes you out of the airport while on the right side is the prepaid taxi booth. Here travelers can pay the taxi fare to their destination according to a preset government approved fare chart. When taking a prepaid taxi from the airport there is also a paper trail of where the taxi driver is taking the passenger. This is a safety measure for passengers travelling by prepaid taxis.<br />Dial A Cab Numbers: <br />Easy Cab # 4343-4343<br />Delhi Cab # 4433-3222<br />They charge Rs. 15 per kilometer from pick up point to drop off point.<br />Taxi Service Centers near the school are:<br />Diplomat Taxi Service – Tel: 2687-2401, Mobile: 98-100-59179<br />Dhanoa Taxi Service – Tel: 26886051, 26114969, Mobile: 98-100-58913<br />ACSA Marine Gate – Tel. 2410-5877<br />Weather: It will be cool and sunny during the day and nights will be chilly. Temperatures can be in the range: <br />Maximum – 21-25 degree Celsius<br />Minimum – 7-10 degree Celsius<br />Plane ticket confirmation:  Our travel desk person will be available at school on Saturday the 30th from 9:00 am-5:00 pm for plane return ticket confirmation if needed.<br />Internet access: Our MS/HS Library will be kept open for delegates to check their emails. <br />Saturday/30th from 8:00am – 5:30pm<br />Sunday/31st from 8:00am-4:30pm<br /> <br />Drinking water: AES has discontinued using plastic mineral water bottles, as the school guarantees world-class drinking water at all the fountains and the coolers installed at the different points. However, it is recommended to drink only bottled water off-campus. Remember to drink water!<br />Entry to school using Gate 2: We recommend everyone to use gate #2 on the Chandragupta Marg for entering campus. This is the gate opposite to the American Embassy.<br />Dilli Haat trip on Saturday, Jan 30th: <br />1905075565This is an optional trip being organized on Saturday the 30th. At 5:00 pm buses will leave from school gate to Dilli Haat - about 15 minutes ride. At 7:30 the delegates can either go straight to their hotel or the bus will bring them back to AES.<br />Dilli Haat is a combination food plaza and craft bazaar located in the heart of Delhi. Dilli Haat shops are permanent but the sellers are rotated every month. Products offered may include rosewood and sandalwood carvings, embellished camel hide footwear, sophisticated fabric and drapery, gems, beads, brassware, metal crafts, and silk and wool fabrics. Shows promoting handicrafts and handlooms are held at the exhibition hall in the complex. <br />Craft Fair: On Sunday the 31st Sharon Lowen is organizing a small craft fair during the lunch session at school. There will be stalls selling shawls; textile; paper; tea, jewellery etc.<br />Emergency school telephone number: 26888854 ext 3999<br />We welcome questions and look forward to sharing this learning adventure and India with you.<br />Jan Patten jpatten@aes.ac.in<br />
