Haryana only hill station — modest but accessible, and Tikkar Taal is surprisingly pretty for something this close to Chandigarh.

Mughal gardens at the foot of the Shivaliks — and the most underrated heritage garden within 2 hours of Delhi.

Where the Mahabharata war happened — or didn not — but the Brahma Sarovar and Krishna Museum make the mythology tangible.
