Weekend Getaways
Weekend getaways from Delhi: the Taj, the hills and the Ganga
Agra and Jaipur for the Golden Triangle, Rishikesh for the river, Shimla and Mussoorie for the hills.
Delhi's weekend menu is stacked.
The Golden Triangle classics
Agra for the Taj Mahal, ideally at sunrise, and Jaipur for forts, palaces and bazaars. Both are easy, high-reward weekends.
The river reset
Rishikesh for the Ganga, yoga, cafes and rafting, with Haridwar's evening aarti nearby. A proper recharge.
The hills
Shimla and Mussoorie for colonial-era hill-station charm and cool air, and Nainital a bit further for the lake. Book ahead in peak season, everyone has the same idea.
