Best Destinations Of North India

In North India you can see mountains, deserts, holy cities by the sacred river Ganges and stunning architecture like Taj Mahal to the Golden Temple.

And if you want to see  most of  the places in North India it would take about 2-3  months travelling by trains and buses,nd heaving enough time to explore an area beyond a rushed sightseeing tour.

It can all be rushed through in a shorter time, but do leave a few days here and there for just relaxing and remember that anyone can get sick at some point and need time to recover.

Travel plans in India may have to be adjusted at the last minute because of  monsoon rain, floods or snowstorms in Ladakh or some  political events.

Where to start in North India

You should start from Delhi capital of India ,it will take some time to recover from jet lag and adjust to India while exploring the sights of the capital city. The Taj Mahal in Agra is then a short drive or train trip from Delhi. Also worth visiting is Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra and an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From Agra there are train and bus connections to Jaipur, the Pink City, and the rest of Rajasthan. This desert state with its stunning cities, palaces, forts and camel safaris deserves a couple of weeks, at least.

And than go to  Golden Temple in Amritsar Punjab, is the holiest site in Sikhism and should not be missed. When travelling between Amritsar and the rest of North India, the city of Chandigarh is a regional travel hub with connections to Amritsar, many destinations in Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi. There is also a daily Shatabdi Express train between Delhi and Amritsar.

You can explore explore the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh.There are hill stations such as Manali and Shimla, treks in the mountains, motorbikes to rent.And from here you can go to Leh Laddakh.
