Taliyar |
The place is best suited for residents of west and North Delhi as you don't have to cross the city traffic to get here. Reach Peera Garhi crossing and take the Rohtak Road. You will cross the Delhi border in about 20 km. You can have a look at the Azad Hind Gram at Tikri, which is a memorial to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose with promise of developing into another Delhi Haat. Go straight after crossing Bahadurgarh and you will have to take a left turn down the road about 10 km, better to ask some locals as there is no landmark at the turning. The highway is a two way with some speed breakers (nasty ones) too near villages but the surface is all right. The dhabas dotting the road give you a 'out of city feel' and serve the usual stuff. Just after crossing Bahadurgarh you can stop at the Parle biscuit factory and have a look at their assembly line for biscuits, the smell of fresh biscuits is really great. |
