Delhi may be the greatest city in India, but once in awhile, we all need a break from the bumper to bumper traffic and the loud sirens! We asked around and compiled a list of the best places for a one day trip away from the Capital. So maybe this Sunday, visit one of these places for that much-needed breather!

A massive hotel, it offers a variety of activities including a guided tour around the fort, camel rides, yoga and meditation sessions and spa services. Try the zip-lining or a trek if you’re in the mood for some adventure. You could also visit the ancient step-well (the Baoli) which is a kilometre away. To highlight it all, feel like a royal by taking a ride in one of their vintage cars!

2. Murthal

Calling out to all the foodies are the dhabas of Murthal, just about an hour’s drive from the city. What to order? Dal and Paranthas that come with lots of butter! We are sure it is an experience that you’ll remember! 

Quick Tip | You may be on a diet or a general fitness freak, but when at Murthal you do not throw away the butter. Not even a bit.

3. Bharatpur

Bharatpur is mainly known for its UNESCO listed ‘Keoladeo National Park’, known as the heaven for bird lovers and photographers! The best way to explore the park is to rent cycles that are readily available or to hire a rickshaw.
