Alwar - The Gateway to Rajasthan, India

Alwar Palace, Rajasthan

Most people plan roses, gifts, and candlelight dinners for Valentine’s Day. Me? I looked at the calendar, realized the 14th was around the corner, and thought, *“Well, love might not be in the air for me, but diesel fumes surely are!”* 🚗💨

So, instead of sulking, I called up my equally single friends (our WhatsApp group is literally used to be called “Forever Aloners”) and within hours we had a plan — a road trip from Delhi to Alwar, one of the quirkiest yet charming weekend getaways from Delhi.
