The closest hill stations to Delhi are Kasauli (293 km, 6-7 hours), Mussoorie (290 km, 6-7 hours), and Nainital (315 km, 7-8 hours). For even shorter distances, Lansdowne (258 km) and Kanatal (300 km) are excellent options for quick weekend escapes.

Best 2-day trips from Delhi include Rishikesh (adventure sports and Ganga Aarti), Agra (Taj Mahal), Jaipur (Pink City heritage), Mussoorie (hill station), Chandigarh (modern city), Neemrana (heritage fort stay), and Lansdowne (peaceful retreat). These destinations can be comfortably covered in a weekend.

Budget-friendly options include Rishikesh (₹3,000-5,000), Lansdowne (₹4,000-6,000), Dehradun (₹4,000-6,000), Chandigarh (₹5,000-7,000), Agra (₹4,000-6,000), and Neemrana (₹5,000-8,000).

The best time depends on the destination. For hill stations: March-June (summer escape) and October-February (pleasant weather). For wildlife: November-March (best sightings). For Rajasthan: October-March. Avoid monsoon (July-August) for hill areas due to landslides. September-November and February-April are ideal overall.

It's recommended to book 15-30 days in advance for better rates, availability, and choice of accommodations. For peak seasons (May-June, December-January) and popular destinations, book 30-45 days ahead. Last-minute bookings may result in higher prices and limited options, especially during holidays and long weekends.

Pack comfortable clothing appropriate for the destination, warm layers for hill stations (especially evenings), comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, hat), basic medicines, toiletries, chargers, valid ID proofs, and a reusable water bottle. For adventure trips, carry appropriate gear and for wildlife safaris, neutral-colored clothing.
