New Delhi has long been the gateway to India for tourists because of the city's strategic location. Three hours due east and one finds oneself in the city of the Taj Mahal -- Agra. Two hours due west and romantic Rajasthan unfolds in all its glory. Situated as near: the bird sanctuaries and lake resorts of Haryana. Five hours north, in Punjab, is Patiala, once the capital of the kingdom of Patiala. In fact, planning an itinerary to cover the sights in easy reach of New Delhi, is an opportunity to see some of the most interesting cities and monumnets of the four important states of North India.
