Is it going to Fog?

As far as Fog is concerned, in North India it starts to reduce by the time Feb Starts. There should not be any Fog Problems by Mid-Feb.

What Clothes to pack?

Packing Clothes, Not really!

If you come from Western world, I do not think you would require too many warm clothes.. light sweater for early morning and late evening would do. In the day time you wear anything light. However, same may not be true for Indians, as we feel change of weather more..so packing warm clothes, a jacket might go with the packing.

Book Accommodation in Advance?

It is a good idea to book accommodation in Advance, rather than looking for them in the final hours of your due travel date. Mainly because Delhi travel season starts October and lasts till March. The prices of hotel room is always on the higher side during this time of the year, so better book in advance.
