I lik to share my tour experience to all..
All u knw tat am living (current) nw in surat..Last year aug month, my parents came here & v planned for one week north india tour..
Before v planned One day tour - Saputara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saputara)
Saputara is a hill station which is 180 km away frm surat..
V went there by my own car.. nd thoroughly enjoyed.. v couldnt see 10 m wt s there.. such a mist..rain vera... sema season..
Day 1 : Surat To Mathura.
Mathura is krishnan born city..We went to krishna temple in where i saw jail (krishna parents Vasudeva and Devaki lived in jail-frm the history) & i wondered after seeing tat.. namburatha iliaiyanu therila..
After noon,2 hrs travel frm mathura to Agra.. There v saw Taj mahal & Agra fort.. Approx. it would take 3.30 hrs for taj mahal & 1.30 hrs for Agra fort for seeing..
After seeing both v catched a train & traveled to Haridwar..
Day-2 : Haridwar & Rishikesh (Bhoomi of Ganga) :
All u knw, Haridwar & Rishikesh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haridwar) r one of the important pilgrimage cities.. Here u can c lot of the temples..
Day-2 morning v came haridwar & took refresh in a lodge nd started to travel Rishikesh (30 km. frm Haridwar)..Here v visited Laxman juala, Ram juala.. nd v took bath in Ganga river (punitha nathi).. After taking lunch came back to Haridwar & visited 2/3 temples.. again v took bath in Ganga river (Haridwar)..
Day 3: Amritsar

Day 4 : Delhi
Train frm Amritsar to Delhi reached morning (Day 4)...As usual, v went to lodge (Owner is Tamilian nd such a nice person) & refreshment & started to travel by a guide (wit a car)..No need to say..All u knw tat Delhi means Indra Gandhi museum,Nehru museum,birla temple,Parliament House,India Gate, Qutub Minar,Lotus Temple, Isckon Temple... All v saw..
sad tat v dint allowed to enter Red fort due to security (since we went on Aug 12...3 days Before independence day..so security prob)..
