2 days vacation

Hey Guyz,
I am looking forward to have a two day trip with my family(wife and a 3 year old daughter) to any nice and serene location around delhi during the 15th august weekend.
I had been to most of the hillstations and know that this is not the right time to be there. The criterion is

1. The place should be reachable within 3-4 hours drive
2. Should have a very calm and serene environment, I want to destress my self and rejuvenate
3. The resort or the place should have something different like folk dance or a spa etc or any other different activity that we generally miss in the city.


So do pour in your ideas.

Rajgarh near Solan

From Solan approx 50 km is a place called Rajgarh its quiet and serene. But there are no resorts over there. There are only homestays. But the place is really beautiful

Barog is near Shimla and is developing into a Hill station, I would prefer to visit it during the non monsoon period, when the hills look best.

I have done some more research and have shortlisted on the following. Tell me which one is better.

1. Neemrana Fort
2. Mud Palace
3. Sariska Palace

thats right but you can take overnight volvo from delhi. Other places would be very hot now; mountains would be better......
