Quick Weekend Getaways From Delhi
Travelling with Children

Every season is enhanced in Delhi. When it's winter, the weather is so cold that you feel as though you are going to freeze. During autumn, it is difficult to find a more cool, serene atmosphere anywhere else in India. And when it is summer, it's like you are burning from within.

With temperatures that can rise to 45 degrees or more, it is no surprise that you might want to retreat to a cooler, safer place. After all, heat isn't harmless. The scorching sun can make it difficult to go about your life, and can even present some risks to your and your loved ones' health.
