Adventure: If you are an adventure-seeker, head out to the relatively unexplored hill station Auli, located in Uttarakhand. This small and serene hill station is a skier's paradise. You can also visit Dhanaulti, a dreamy mountain retreat located in the Gharwal hills. The incredible trekking trails on this blissfully secluded hill are the perfect attraction for adventure-lovers.

Heritage: If history excites you, you could explore the various heritage sites that are comfortably close to Delhi. Agra has set a benchmark for itself in the world tourism map by being home to the Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort, Moti Masjid and many other royal forts and palaces. Also, the city of Jaipur is a must-see for its numerous heritage sites like the City Palace Museum, Jantar Mantar, as well as its many temples, gardens and bazaars. You could also get a taste of past eras at Kesroli. You could stay at the Kesroli Fort and visit the Ghana Bird Sanctuary, Kankwadi Fort and the museums of Alwar and Sariska.

Off-beat: If you are looking for weekend tours to some off-beat destinations around Delhi, you could head towards Binsar, a hill station ...
... tucked far away from the city in the Kumaon Hills. Another option is to escape to the quaint hill station of Chail, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Himalayas. You could also visit Chaukori, a destination unlike any other hill station. Feel free to discover the joys of this quaint village and the magnificent Himalayan vistas at your own pace.

Hill stations: The hill stations around Delhi almost seem to belong to another time zone. The magnificent churches and quiet cobbled streets of Kasauli give you a glimpse of the days of the British Raj. You could also escape to the picture-perfect hill station of Dehradun or submerge yourself in the beauty of the Kumaon Hills in the hill station of Mukteshwar. Explore the beauty of the gorgeous valleys of the Kandaghat, admire the twinkling lights of Shimla and Kausauli and discover the Satluj Valley in the hill station of Chail.

Numerous tour operators provide weekend holiday packages that combine the above aspects in their weekend tour packages. Ask your tour operator for details on weekend trips from Delhi and get ready to enjoy a well deserved weekend break.
