Fares are the full return journey with a chauffeur, from the published round-trip rate card. Fuel, the driver and GST are included; tolls, parking, state permits and the driver's night allowance are charged at actuals.

Planning a weekend out of Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad is on the north-eastern edge of the NCR, which makes it the best-placed of the satellite cities for Uttarakhand — the Delhi-Meerut Expressway runs straight out of it toward Haridwar and the hills, and you never have to cross Delhi to get there.

The day-trip page covers Garhmukteshwar, Meerut, Hastinapur and the places inside an easy return. This page is for the trips the night makes possible — the Ganga towns, the hill stations, the tiger reserves and the Braj temple circuit.

Return fares are computed from the published round-trip rate card, so what is quoted here matches the booking page.

Har ki Pauri and the evening Ganga aarti, the Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi temples reached by ropeway, and the Rajaji reserve at the edge of town.

How the weekend runs

Three and a half hours on the expressway. The aarti at dusk and the empty ghats before dawn are two different places, and only a night gets you both. Rajaji on Sunday morning.

Rafting between Shivpuri and Rishikesh, the Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula bridges, the Beatles ashram, and the Triveni Ghat aarti at sunset.

How the weekend runs

Four hours. Rafting runs on morning slots and the aarti is at dusk — a night is what makes both possible instead of one or the other.

Safari zones at Bijrani, Jhirna and Dhikala on the Ramganga, in India's oldest national park. Elephant, gharial and birds in quantity.

How the weekend runs

Five hours. Safaris are booked by zone and slot, dawn and mid-afternoon, so one night gets two drives in different zones. Permits first, car second.

Naini Lake with the Mall along one shore, the Snow View cable car, Tiffin Top, and the quieter lakes at Bhimtal and Sattal below.

How the weekend runs

Six and a half hours. Two nights — the lake district has three or four days in it and one night would make the drive the main event.

The Mall, Gun Hill, Kempty Falls, the Camel's Back road for the Doon valley view, and Landour with its cottages and bakery above the town.

How the weekend runs

Six hours with a climb at the end. Two nights, because Landour at seven in the morning is the quiet half of Mussoorie and nobody arriving on a day trip ever sees it.

The Krishna birthplace at Mathura and Vrindavan's temples eleven kilometres on — Banke Bihari, the Prem Mandir, ISKCON — with the Yamuna ghats at Vishram Ghat for the evening aarti.

How the weekend runs

Three hours. Vrindavan opens its temples at four in the morning and the mangala aarti is the thing a day visitor never reaches. That is the whole case for the night.

The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah across the river, and Fatehpur Sikri forty kilometres west.

How the weekend runs

Three and a half hours on the Yamuna Expressway. The Taj at sunrise is the fixed point — twenty minutes of changing colour with a fraction of the later crowd. Fort and Fatehpur Sikri Sunday.

Ghaziabad to Lansdowne

Distance one way

Driving time
6 hours
Sedan, return
₹5,940
SUV, return
₹7,560

A quiet cantonment hill town with Bhulla Lake, the Tip-in-Top viewpoint, the St Mary's church walk, and deliberately almost nothing else.

How the weekend runs

Six hours on the Kotdwar road. Lansdowne has no nightlife and limited ATMs and patchy mobile signal in the interiors, which is precisely why people go. Carry cash and a book.
