    Harappa valley section is the best. You should have at least 2.5-3 hours to spare otherwise you won't be able to enjoy this amazing place to the fullest

    Don't get confused with National Archives Museum, which is a block away towards India Gate! Bring your student ID and you can get in for 1Rs instead of 300 Rs foreigner entrance fee.

    Have to check your bag. Expensive for foreigners at 650. Some rooms nice, most are shabby. Decent documentation.

    Disappointed. Extremely boring. The audio tour is of no help. Lack of interesting exhibits and no chronology. Chunks of history missing.
