Planning that perfect road trip in India? Think no further!

By Rashmi Hemrajani

Wait a moment and ask yourself, why do you want to go on a road trip? Should we help? Here are some reasons you could consider:

- You are young and are obligated to do crazy things. Ditch all of your obligations to create some amazing memories. Nothing says “I’m young, I’m free, and I do what I want!” quite like a road trip does.

- Who doesn’t need a vacation? You have the same routine day in and day out, and are now bored and stressed at the same time. Let’s face it, laying poolside for a week might be fun but it doesn’t exactly do wonders for the soul.

- Your friends would also agree that the best place to listen to music is in a car while going to a great destination. Making a playlist for a road trip is a great responsibility. So better handle it with care

Ride North

Region: Delhi-Agra-Jaipur

This is your last chance to circle around Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with family as mid-May onwards it gets really hot. This road trip is about 475 kms and also known as the Golden Triangle. This route is packed with magnificent historic sites. Tourists usually start in Delhi with the India Gate, Red Fort and Jama Masjid.

Move on to Agra for the most extravagant monument of love, the Taj Mahal and then the Agra Fort. Another tourist attraction is the well-preserved Fatehpur Sikri. Take your kids to the birder’s paradise of Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, this park lies between two of India’s most historic cities, Agra and Jaipur. Don’t miss the City Palace and Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal and Ram Niwas Garden. Before heading back to Delhi, shop for pottery, ceramics and other artifacts.


Spend time with the locals in Jaipur. Learn their folk art, dance or even a sentence in their language to make your holiday special
