2 Days in Sonipat for a Nature Getaway
Sonipat might not be the first place that comes to mind for a nature trip, but it’s got some hidden green gems that make for a perfect short escape from Delhi’s chaos. I’ve spent weekends here just soaking in the quiet, walking through lush fields, and enjoying simple local food. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down and actually hear birds instead of honking cars.
