Lost in the Lanes of IAC

Indian Airlines Colony

Download Google Maps offline map of the area beforehand. Seriously. IAC's streets aren't always well-marked, and network coverage can be patchy. That's your best bet to avoid a complete meltdown. Also, don't be afraid to ask for directions – people are generally helpful, even if their English isn't perfect. Just point at your phone and smile; works wonders. And yeah, you will stumble upon awesome chai stalls... that's half the fun!

Honestly, Suman Nagar's a beast. No real "best" way, it's all about getting a feel for it. I've lived here for years and still get a little turned around sometimes! My advice? Use landmarks. That little chai stall by the Hanuman temple? Make that your reference point. Or the old bakery with the cracked window. Find something memorable, then work from there. And download Google Maps offline – it's your lifeline in those crazy lanes. Don't be afraid to ask locals; most people are happy to point you in the right direction. Just smile and say "Namaste," it goes a long way. Prepare to get lost, a few times, but that's half the fun, right? You'll find cool stuff that way. You'll probably discover better vada pav than what you already found!
