Headed to India on Business...

Hey all - I'm headed over to India for about a week and a half around the end of October - Noida to be exact. The trip is for business but I'll be there over a weekend too. Anyone have any suggestions on places to go/see during a weekend stay there (besides the Taj)? This will be my first time there, but it looks like I'll be going once or twice a year from this point forward. TIA!!!

Oh - almost forgot... Aside from all the precautions/travel medicine requirements (already in that process) - anyone have restaurant/food suggestions? I'll try just about anything and there aren't too many foods that I don't like, but it just so happens that Indian food (at least what we can get here in the states) is my least favorite - can barely even stand just the smell of curry. Should I be looking at this as a good diet opportunity? Thanks again friends!

Well I would say make sure you visit Goa but you probably won't have time to make it there, it's in the southern part of india.

forgot, all food is fine to eat, especially roadside stands, just never, ever drink any water there. Stick to pop etc.

I have a business associate in Mumbai...is that near Noida? He's suggested itineraries in the past.

Noida is in north, suburbs of New Delhi. As Dr Smith said, only drink good bottled water or pop. Hope you staying at good hotel. I don't recommend eating food other than some very nice restaurant or the ones in your hotel(hopefully you staying at a nice hotel chain). Dollar after conversion goes a long way. I believe its something like $1= 48 of local curency.

You don't seem to have enough time for sight seeing, otherwise Udaipur Lake Palace (as seen in bond movie Octopussy) is a nice place and not too far from New Delhi. I have not been there in decade and half so my info is old. Someone else may chime in.
