Jaipur, or as many of us know it - The Pink City, has a lot to look forward to! Being only 50 minutes away from Delhi via a flight, firstly, it’s super quick and secondly very comfortable and accessible too! 

There’s a lot to do in Jaipur, like visiting heritage sites like Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Sheesh Mahal and many other places. If not this, then you can always go ahead and shop like mad for some beautiful and ethnic hand block printing products, carpets as well as Jaipur’s famous silver jewellery!

If you’re a person who loves the hills but just can’t survive the road journey because of the route and the time duration that it takes to reach your destination, then you have to take a flight out to Dehradun! Barely a 55 minutes flight which will cover more than half your distance while heading on to some hill station further, book a taxi from Dehradun airport and you’ll be at your desired location in a jiffy. 

Whether it’s Mussoorie or Nainital, you can cover ‘em all in about half the time. Or, if you’re looking at staying in Dehradun itself then that’s a great idea too because Dehradun has tons to do as well!
