Don't do the obvious, do the different. Free yourself from the boring Delhi to Jaipur
trip. With stunning forts, temples and scenery, the road trip that should definitely be on
your list is to Dausa, Rajasthan.
Dausa is also known as Dev Nagari, abode of the Gods! Offering rich culture and
traditions, the unique local flavour of the region is very
well preserved even today. Hela-Khayal, which is a form of folk art, is a unique style of
singing prevalent in this region.
Hela singers through their songs demonstrate the enduring spirit and
enthusiasm of people living in this region. Drive via NH48 from Delhi. Famous for its
temples and rich heritage and history, this place is ideal for an offbeat getaway.
