Delhi has a lot of places within a day's drive. When a driver takes the wheel, everyone else can look out of the window. Here are some popular ones.

Where to go

  • Mathura and Vrindavan (about 150 km): temples and ghats. An easy trip with elders.
  • Agra (about 230 km): the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, so plan around that and check current timings.
  • Chandigarh (about 250 km): gardens, wide roads and a slower pace.
  • Jaipur (about 270 km): forts, palaces and markets. Best with a night or two.
  • Haridwar (about 215 km) and Rishikesh (about 240 km): the evening aarti on the Ganga and walks by the river.

These distances are approximate and change with the route.

Before you leave

  • Start early, so you are out of Delhi before the traffic builds.
  • Agree the route and main stops with your driver beforehand.
  • Book early for long weekends and festival seasons, when roads and hotels are full.
  • Pick a car that suits your group, so the ride back is comfortable too.

Round trip or one way

If you want the car with you at the destination, take a round trip. If you only need a drop, ask for a one-way drop.
