North India

North India was the focus of my travels, since that is where I lived. There are many interesting cities, as well as hillstations which are ideal for a weekend trip from Delhi. Your perception of distances changes dramatically in a vast country like India; a short trip typically involves 8-12 hours of driving or sleeping on the train. I would usually hit the road on Friday straight after work, leaving my office clothes in the drawer of my desk. Sleep in the car, arrive on Saturday morning, have a nice breakfast and explore for two days ... then spend Sunday night driving back to Delhi, arrive Monday morning, sleep for two hours, have shower and go back to the office surprisingly re-energized.

Here is a map of all the places that I visited in North India:
