Delhi, the capital city
of India, one of the happening and a major metro city. When we talk
about Delhi, images running through our minds are Red Fort, Humayun’s
tomb, Delhi gate which is seen in many Bollywood movies, Parliament
of India, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Lotus temple and many more ….
Being world’s second
most populous city Delhi serves a home for many people situated there
for earning their bread and butter.
Many of the people tend
to have weekend getaways from Delhi to nearby places which are very
famous from tourist point of view too. These places are sure to add

When we think of Agra
we all know what we are talking about, the most beautiful monument
which is a symbol of love, listed among the UNESCO world’s heritage
sites, one among the seven wonders in the World. Usually when anyone
who plans a trip to Delhi first time Agra is in their top of the list
as add on sites other the main city. Designed near the bank of River
Yamuna this breathtaking site embarks the different colors at
different times. This can be a family trip spot as well as a romantic
getaway for couples too. We can see foreigners roaming around here
capturing the beauty of this symbol of love in their cameras. Agra is
just 124km away from Delhi. We can go there according to our
convenience as in by Bus or a hired cab. Agra fort is also must see
spot near Delhi when you go to Agra.

When you work really
hard all the week generally nobody is in the mood to go to the
heritage place; what you seek at that time of weekends is a relaxing
outstation where you can go and a have a peaceful time with your
loved ones. And hence Lansdowne tops the list here. It is a town in
Puri Garwal in Uttaranchal. The cantonment town with zealous scenic
beauty is 17000 ft. from the sea level. Adventure activities like
trekking, boating, paddling and also bird watching attract the
tourists over here. Lansdowne is 250 km from Delhi and once can reach
there by bus but for convenience it is really advisable that one
should either go by own private car or the best suited option is
hire car.

When you are already in
Delhi or nearby Delhi this is a place one should at least visit once.
Jim Corbett being India’s first National park established in 1936
it is the world’s largest tiger reserve. This striped wild beauty
blows your mind with its elegance and ferocity in looks at the same
time. Jim Corbett is 295 km away from Delhi. A weekend trip or a
small tour of 3-4 days is really good to go here from Delhi. These
days tourism has realized the importance of this site and has been
developed accordingly vastly with beautiful, luxurious resorts like
Corbett getaway spa and resort.
