5 fabulous places you can go around Delhi for staycation on Valentine's Day
New Delhi, India: Valentine's Day is just around the corner and if you're looking to go away from the hustle and bustle of Delhi, fret no more! We have just the right recommendations for you to go and spend quality time with your special someone.
1. Camp Aqua Forest - Rishikesh
This quaint gem is tucked away from the main touristy Rishikesh and is apt for a tribe of travellers who love to explore the not-so-mapped parts of a place which is usually swamped with tourists.
Located about 9 kilometres ahead of the iconic Laxman Jhula, Camp Aqua Forest offers a comfortable and luxurious stay in Swiss cottage tents which can easily accommodate a pack of 3-4 people.
The approach to the property is a rugged path down a small hill and is a peek into the adventures you will unravel at the camp. You can spend your mornings at a small brook that quietly flows in the backdrop and later meets the Ganges and trek to the hills nearby which house hamlets and taste the local culture.
Food is home-like and delectable. Though there are no television sets, the place has ample to keep all, young and old alike, engrossed.
2. Neemrana Fort Palace
Neemrana, a tranquil historical town in Rajasthan's Alwar district, is well-known among heritage enthusiasts for its magnificent 15th-century Neemrana Fort Palace, which has now been converted into a luxury hotel. It's just about a 2-2.5 hour drive from Delhi and offers a spectacular view. Perfect for a quaint and luxurious stay with your special someone.
3. Sariska Tiger Reserve
If you're a fan of nature, jungles and quiet ambience, this is your place! Sariska Tiger Reserve, located in the Aravalli Hills, enchants visitors with its rocky landscapes, dry deciduous woods, and, of course, diverse biodiversity. Aside from Royal Bengal tigers, leopards, Indian jackals, chinkara, langurs, and sambar deer live in this 866 square kilometre area.
Also, it's just 4-5 hours away from Delhi.
