Damdam lake
If boating and
rock climbing are your thig, head for Domdama Lake near the Aravalli
Hills. A three hour drive from the city, the lake is just short of
Sohna
Sohna
A three and a half hour drive from Delhi
Brings you to Sohna, in the bordering state of Haryana. Its hot
springs and grassy expanses make it a popular picnic shop. And
during an early weekend in February, it is the destination of the
Statesman Vintage Car Rally.
Dhauj
Around 40 kms
away from the city, it's tucked into the Aravalli Hills. Wigh red
cliffs overlooking a reservoir, Dhauj is great for rock climbing and
bird watching.
Surajkund
This is the
location of an ancient water tank named after the sun god, Suraj.
The circular tank has, in one corner, a huge ramp that was used by
elephants. There is also a man make lake nearby where boating is
popular with picnickers. For a fortnight in February, there is a
traditional crafts fair, where artisans from all over the country
display their wares. |
