If you also love roads surrounded by trees, August Kranti Marg is just the perfect gedi spot for you! Situated near Siri Fort Auditorium, August Kranti Marg is one of the few roads in Delhi above which beautiful green and yellow trees make a breathtaking canopy.

With high-rise buildings all around, Gurgaon defo has the best roads in Delhi NCR. The Golf Course Road in Gurgaon always gives us ‘highway feels’ in the middle of the city. The out-of-this-world glass buildings of DLF Cyber City serve as a spectacular view to behold. Driving in the well-lit underpasses on the winding route is legit so much fun! 

8. Noida Expressway

When talking of Gedis, the Noida Expressway has to be on the list! The Expressway’s endless and smooth roads make it a true heaven for driving enthusiasts. So take along some snacks and drive away to Agra or Vrindavan for a long drive!
P.S. Be very careful while driving on the Noida Expressway and do not over speed.

9. Outer Ring Road - Signature Bridge

The Signature Bridge built over the Yamuna River is a major attraction these days! If you’re a North Delhiite, the Outer Ring Road - Signature Bridge stretch should be your go-to route on an early morning (ofcourse, after pulling an all-nighter!) With smooth roads and less traffic, the stretch is perfect to watch the beautiful sunrise over the river!

Away from the hustle-bustle of North Delhi lies this road which is perfect for Gedis on a breezy evening while sipping on strong coffee! Park your car on the side and just listen to some soulful music on this peaceful road. Also, if you want to practice driving and become a gedi enthusiast like us, this is the best place to do so.

11. Kamla Nehru Ridge Road, Civil Lines

The Kamla Nehru Ridge Road near Delhi University is undoubtedly one of the prettiest roads in the city. Nestled in the Northern Ridge with lush green trees and pink Bougainvillaea all around, the road is dreamy AF. The uphill and downhill thrill on this quaint route would make your Gedi no less than a drive on the hills. So let your windows down, let the wind blow your hair, and drive away to the ridge for hilly feels in Delhi!

12. Shalimar Bagh Flyover

The Shalimar Bagh Flyover in North Delhi is a long stretch with great views of the Pitampura TV Tower. We would highly recommend taking this route for a drive with awesome music on the loop. Driving on this flyover with your friends and having a view of the TV Tower at sunset would be an experience in itself! 

13. Shahid Ramprasad Bismil Marg, Model Town

This peaceful and secluded stretch in North Delhi is popular among students for after-tuition drives. With schools on the one side and a thick green belt on the other, the stretch remains empty and quiet in the evenings. Slow drives on this hidden road with deep conversations - sounds like a plan, doesn’t it?

So take away cold coffee, play some Atif Aslam or AP Dhillon, and drive away through these breezy routes with your gang!

P.S. Be careful of traffic rules, do not overspeed, be responsible drivers, and do not drink and drive.
