Darang, Himachal Pradesh

Neemrana Fort, Rajasthan

This aesthetic fort and its rejuvenating greenery is a royal escape from Delhi. Though this place never goes out of fashion in any season, it has its own perks during the monsoons. While swimming as it pours down from the sky is no less than magic, the Ayurvedic Spa and zip-line experiences have their unrivalled charms. So prepare for a glorious stay at this palace and check off the whims and fancies of the Indian grandeur life of the kings from your bucket list.

Bharatpur, Rajasthan

Known for the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary and Keoladeo Wildlife Park, the city of Bharatpur is all about exotic hues of colours and bird chirps. Aglow with resplendent shades and exuberant silence, this view is no less than a treat for the eyes. While migratory birds like ducks, geese, egrets and pelicans present a rainbow before you, a bicycle ride in the lush green background will leave you overwhelmed, especially during the rains. So if peace and serenity is your kind of holiday, hurry up and head to Bharatpur for your long weekend getaway.

Kausani, Uttarakhand

Are mountains your go-to place to unwind and de-stress? If yes, then you have to chill (quite literally) in the unexplored wintry scenic beauty of Kausani. With the splendid sight of magnificent peaks of Nandakot, Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Pachachuli, you can gaze at these snowy landscapes for hours or even take a walk amidst the company of pine trees. The place is the perfect poetic string for a getaway.

Agra

If you’re a sucker for road trips, trippy snacks and snazzy-raw beauty, Agra is exactly what you need. Get a rental car, put on your favourite playlist, stop at Murthal (famous food stop on the highway) for your mandatory parantha break and reach Agra to catch the sight of the iconic Taj Mahal. Get some food for thought by spiriting your historical bone and explore Fatehpur Sikri, Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb and the Agra Fort.

Abbott Mount, Uttarakhand

Find solace in this secluded, tranquil place in Uttarakhand to find yourself. A pristine destination for some ‘me-time’, this place has all the scenic beauty you could need to read that book you still haven’t finished, indulge in fishing or anything your heart desires. Birdwatching and trekking have a different essence in this tiny hamlet that is painted shades by the vibrant fauna adorning the place.
