Day Trips And Overnight Excursions To Get Away From Delhi
Le Corbusier’s Chandigarh
Check out the Capital Complex, now preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the tidiest planned out city of India designed by modernist architect Le Corbusier with green floral pathways. Visit Nek Chand Rock Garden, the Rose Garden in sector 16 and Sukhna Lake, a popular spot for a stroll, keeping fit and romantic activities, thanks to the local couples.
How to get there
Take the Shatabdi Express from New Delhi Railway Station in the early morning to get to Chandigarh in approximately three hours. When you reach here, rent a local cab, radio taxi or auto rickshaw for the day to get you around. Return to Delhi by taking any of the two evening Shatabdi trains at the station.
Expressive Patiala
Take in the views of Qila Mubarak, an old crumbling fort that’s still standing despite the passage of time. Check out the bazaars dedicated to pickles, bridal paraphernalia, juttis, and kitchen utensils along with phulkari work items. For a purely architectural tour, check out the backstreets of the city along with havelis of ancient merchants. Visit the place after getting flight tickets to Delhi from USA on Tripbeam ASAP!
