For a rich dose of history and architecture, there is no better place to visit near Delhi than the historic city of Agra. Once the capital of India under the rule of the Mughals, the city is home to forts, monuments and other structures of the time. The Taj Mahal — dating to the 17th century and built entirely of white marble complete with semi-precious stones — is the emblematic attraction of the city. It was created by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and is universally admired as the symbol of love. The sunrise, as well as, the sunset view of the monument, should not be missed.
Besides this ivory-white mausoleum, Agra Fort and Tomb of I’timad-ud-Daulah, are worth a visit too. The city is also known for its marble items inlaid with semi-precious stones. Sadar Bazaar is the perfect place for buying these items. While you’re in the Agra district, make sure to visit the abandoned town of Fatehpur Sikri, and it will certainly be a weekend worth remembering. The city was founded by Shah Jahan’s grandfather, Akbar, and is full of Indo-Islamic architectural wonders that will leave you awestruck. Other than that, Agra is also known for its delicious street food and enormous leather factories.
From Delhi, Agra is around 233 kilometres (144 miles) away which is around a 4-hour drive. A typical train journey to Agra is also four hours long, however there are faster options. You can catch an early morning train from Delhi - preferably Habibganj Shatabdi Express (one-stop train) or the semi-high speed Gatimaan Express - which takes less than two hours to reach Agra. Alternatively, you can book a taxi for the weekend. Private car tours from Delhi are readily available.
If you do visit, you should stay at the Taj Resorts Hotel which is actually less than 500 metres (0.3 miles) away from the UNESCO Heritage Site, Taj Mahal. Located just 0.6 kilometres (0.4 miles) from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Taj Mahal, The Oberoi Amarvilas Agra is also a great option.
Tip from tour guide
Agra is a treasure trove of medieval monuments. The monument complex in Fatehpur Sikri, which is about 40 km away from Agra city, is a UNESCO site entirely made up of red sandstone.
If you're planning your trip, note that Agra now has a metro too, but it does not cater to the entire city yet. The best mode of traveling here is still hired taxis.

9. Kasol (from USD 21.0)
Located on the banks of Parvati River in the Kullu district, Kasol has long been considered the backpackers’ haven of North India. A weekend spent here should involve some outdoor adventure and a healthy dose of nature therapy. This could take the form of camping and rafting along the Parvati River or trekking through the Himalayan valleys. Alternatively, you can visit one too many villages near Kasol. If you’re into psychedelic and trance parties, Chalal village is the place to be, while if you just want to immerse in nature, head to Tosh village, nestled atop a hill surrounded by mountains. If time permits, do visit Manikaran, a sacred place for both Hindus and Sikhs. It is known for its natural hot springs that are said to have therapeutic properties.
The hamlet is home to a great number of Israelis, who have made a significant impact on the local culture and cuisine. You’ll find Israeli food in abundance, in addition to Indian, Italian and Chinese cuisine. Bhoj Cafe and Jim Morrison Cafe are local favourites for Israeli and Indian food.
Where to stay: There are several hotels, guesthouses and Homestays where you can experience the warm hospitality of the locals. The Flipsyde Cafe is one of the top choices for a budget and location-friendly stay.

10. Varanasi (from USD 200.0)
A quick weekend of spirituality in Varanasi is more than achievable, with regular flights of only an hour and a half departing to and from Delhi. Dating back to the 11th century BC, it is one of the world’s oldest living cities, and also one of the most sacred places for Hindus in India. The place is associated with the Hindu god Shiva and people from across the world come here to seek blessings of the Lord and attain nirvana. While you’re here, make sure you do the quintessential Varanasi activity of taking a dip in the holy water of the Ganges river (it is believed to cleanse away all your sins), along with attending a Ganga aarti (Hindu ritual of worship), which is held at one of the many ghats. We do recommend taking a boat ride along the holy Ganges river and soak in the view and vibe of the city.
Where to stay: Perched on the Darbhanga Ghat, the BrijRama Palace provides comfort and luxury, with views of the sacred Ganges River to boot.

11. Kasauli (from USD 143)
A weekend in the Kasauli means rich history, a tryst with nature, trekking in the forests with spectacular views of Himalayan mountains, and a distillery dating back to the 19th century. You can start day one at the Gilbert Trail, which is a 1.5-kilometre (0.6 mile) long nature trail replete with colourful birds. The highlight of the trail, however, is the endpoint that offers a spectacular view of the surrounding verdant landscape. After the nature walk, you can explore one of the many temples and churches in the town. The 150-year-old Nahri temple dedicated to Hindu God Shiva and Goddess Durga, and the 19th-century Christ Church that stands out with its Gothic-style of architecture complete with Spanish and Italian touches are particularly noteworthy. At dusk, we recommend visiting the Sunset Point in the Upper Mall Road, or the Monkey Point - both the vantage points offer a beautiful view of the town with the sun sinking in the horizon that is unparalleled.
The next day you can go on a trekking adventure. There are easily accessible treks in and around the town, such as Jabli, Kalka and Garkhal. End your weekend by taking a tour of Kasauli Brewery. Launched in the 19th century, it is one of the oldest functioning distilleries in Asia for malt whisky.
Where to stay: If you want to be in the heart of all the action, stay right at Treebo Royal Suites.

12. McLeod Ganj (from USD 199.0)
McLeod Ganj, nestled in the mighty Dhauladhar Range, is home to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and has a large Tibetan population, hence also goes by the epithets ‘Little Lhasa’ or 'Mini Tibet of India’. A visit here will teach visitors everything they need to know about Buddhism. There are several monasteries where you take a course in Buddhism. The Tsuglagkhang Complex is a must-visit site. It is a holy place for the Buddhist pilgrims and encompasses the 16th-century Namgyal Monastery, the Tsughlakhang Temple, the Tibetan Museum that highlights Tibetan history, culture and art; a bookstore, a cafe and a library, along with several shrine rooms having Lord Gautam Buddha statues.
Pro-tip: Visit the complex in the morning so that you can partake in meditation and chanting along with the monks. Also, make sure to spin the Buddhist prayer wheels in Tsughlakhang temple, as it is believed to bring good karma and remove negative energy.
When all of that learning makes you hungry, enjoy the town’s mix of Indian and Tibetan dishes at one of the many cafes and restaurants. Adventure lovers can go trekking in the Dhauladhar mountains or hike the 20-meter tall Bhagsu Falls. While those looking for a relaxing therapy can slip into one of the many yoga and meditation centres.

Located alongside the River Ganga, Rishikesh is known for its adventure sports like river rafting, off-road biking and bungee jumping It is also a place of spirituality and yoga. In the late 20th century, the Beatles visited Haridwar to meet their guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and since then it has become a hot spot for peace seekers. Its spectacular natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere and bounty of yoga centres and ashrams will likely keep it a soul searchers haven for years to come. You can spend your weekend here practising different asanas and learning about the yogic way of life. Some of the top ashrams in Rishikesh are Parmarth Niketan, Sivananda Ashram and Yoga Niketan (to name but a few). While you’re here, make sure to attend Ganga aarti (river worship ceremony) held every evening along the banks of Ganga.
Located in Uttrakhand, Rishikesh is a great place to go if you’re looking to have some fun followed by unwinding by a campfire at night. Just 270 kilometres (167 miles) from Delhi, you can easily reach Rishikesh by road. Stay at EllBee Ganga View to enjoy the view of the Ganga when you sleep and wake up.
Tip from Trip101 local expert
Whenever I zip off to Rishikesh for a weekend, I've got a routine that never disappoints. First off, hitting the Beatles Ashram is a must for the cool murals and the peace vibes—it's like stepping into a slice of music history with an Indian twist. And you can't miss the Ganga Aarti in the evening at Parmarth Niketan or Triveni Ghat; it's a spiritual spectacle with chants and lights that's totally grounding.
Here's my insider tip: if you're driving in, just park your car at your hotel. Grab a bike rental near the bus stand—they go for around 500 INR—and cruise around town. It's the best way to soak up Rishikesh, trust me.

Traveler's tips
The Jim Corbett National Park makes you feel like you've stepped into an alternative world because of its rich vegetation. When I visited with my family about 8 years ago, we could feel the difference in the air - it felt almost too rich and clean to breathe. We started our tour into the park in the wee hours of the morning (as early as 2 am) as our guide said we would have to, if we wished to see some fauna in their natural habitat. We chanced upon a tiger and its cub, and the experience was breathtaking! Our tour guide stopped the van as sudden movements could startle the tiger, and we waited until they silently slinked away. Make sure that you wear protective clothing and carry protective gear for this trip!
