The Best Beach Getaways From Delhi
While there are a number of hill-stations that you can make a quick escape to from Delhi, all the good beach destinations are at quite a distance. But all it takes is a bit of research and advance planning for you to have that perfect seaside vacation. Keep reading to discover the best beach getaways from Delhi.
Rishikesh
Located on the banks of river Ganges, Rishikesh is the closest beach destination that Delhites can head to. If you want to take a road trip, it takes about six hours to drive up to this holy city from the capital or you can take a flight to Dehradun and then hire a taxi to take you to Rishikesh. The latter option should take you about three hours of travel time in total. For accommodation, there are a number of great camping options at the river beach to suit every budget. You can either spend your time trying out adventure sports like rafting and rappelling or choose to rejuvenate through meditation at India’s yoga capital.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
With their pristine emerald waters and beautiful coral reefs, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are formidable rivals to the more touristy coastline of Goa. In fact, Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island was voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world by TripAdvisor in 2017. Besides lounging on the beach, you can explore historic spots like Ross Island, a British administrative headquarter, which was taken over by the Japanese during World War II or go deep sea diving to spot magnificent creatures like the dugong or the sea cow at Ritchie’s Archipelago. A direct flight from Delhi to Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, takes about three and a half hours.
