Delhi...Plz. suggest interesting places.

Britishraj · Sep 5th, 2009, 03:41

Namaste Folks
We have 2 'full days' free. Can anyone suggest any interesting places to visit other than the 'Usual Must See' locations. We are prepared to do a day trip by car (approx 4hrs travel) to any suitable destination. Btw. I have seen ALL the usual sights of Delhi 'Several times' incl. the Taj. Last year I did a trip out to Junjhunu, to see the traditional, ornately decorated havelis. About 3 hrs outside of Delhi, we came across a camel fair. There must have been at least 1000 camels! I was told this was an annual event. I think the name of the town was Loharu? This was an excelent excursion.
Hope you guys may have some ideas.

You have picnics spots in The Badhkal lake, the Dum-Dama lake, the Sohna lake. These will be about an hours drive from delhi.

One must see is a park near Okhla. I am unable to remember the name of this park. It has colorful fountains. A mini Brindavan of sorts. Some Imer will be able to tell the name of this park.

You could go to Bharatpur Bird Scantury.

You could also do Chandigarh or Amritsar in two days.

Deeg Palace is beautiful, a place to spend a day but the bird sanctuary is suffering from a lack of water and is pretty sad at the moment
