Escape the capital's chaos on a 2-day ride to the rugged Aravalli hills. This route avoids the expressway ban, taking you via the classic Alwar-Tijara road to the tiger-inhabited scrublands of Sariska. Highlights include the famous Alwar Milk Cake, a sunset ride to Siliserh Lake, and a morning jungle safari. Exercise caution.
Start early to escape urban traffic. Take NH48 towards Gurgaon/Manesar. Caution: Bikes are NOT allowed on the new Delhi-Mumbai Expressway; stick to the old highway. Ongoing NH48 capacity expansion work (Gurgaon-Kotputli-Jaipur stretch) with a March 31 deadline for some structures may cause minor delays. Drive with caution.
