Gurugram and Surajkund in 2 Days

2 DAYS 4 places by WaTrips

Sultanpur's birds, Damdama Lake and Kingdom of Dreams, then Surajkund.

An easy weekend on Delhi's edge. Day one starts early at Sultanpur National Park, where migratory birds gather in winter, then visits Damdama Lake in the Aravalli hills and ends with a show at Kingdom of Dreams. Day two goes to Surajkund, an ancient reservoir that hosts the famous international crafts fair every February. November to March is the best time for both the birds and the weather.
