Destination: Siliserh
Route: Delhi – Gurgaon – Dharuhera – Alwar – Siliserh
Distance: 180 kms from Delhi
Type of destination: day trip/weekend getaway
Description: few places are worth the visit not only for the views they offer but more so for the drive/ride they offer, Siliserh is one such place. Don’t get me wrong, the lake itself is beautiful and going for a boat ride in the lake is highly recommended. But for a rider/driver in you, Siliserh offers much more than a mere destination. The winding single lane roads once you cross Alwar are a pleasure to drive/ride on.
Places to visit:
Siliserh Palace/hotel
Tips: leave early in the morning and instead of taking the diversion from Dharuhera, continue on the NH 8. There is another diversion just before Shahpura for Sariska wild life reserve, take this route instead. Although this is longer than the Alwar route, it offers some fantastic scenery and a superb ride/drive.
During weekend Siliserh is usually crowded, if possible go on a weekday.
