Travel to Delhi

There are many weekend getaways from New Delhi you can visit anytime of the year, but what is the need of visiting an equally hot place during summer when for the same distance you can escape and getaway to a beautiful hill station with a cool and pleasant climate? This article talks about the places you should visit near Delhi during summers.

Summer is here in Delhi and the temperatures are soaring more than ever! The mid-month of May has started seeing temperatures soar upto 47 degree celsius, which makes one wonder what the peak summer season has in store for us! If you are in Delhi and looking for a nice weekend getaway away from the heat, don’t visit places like Agra and Jaipur which are equally hot. Look towards the hill stations in Himachal and Uttarakhand. Getting a cab to these hill stations will be as getting an Agra to Delhi cab and you can easily book it online or via a mobile app. If you are unsure to which one to pick from the dozens of destinations, we will help you narrow down your search to some of the best.
