Under 250 km — a genuine two-day trip

Mathura & Vrindavan (~180 km) — a full day of darshan, easily done as a long day trip or a relaxed overnight.
Rishikesh (~220–240 km) — the river, the Laxman Jhula bridge and a genuinely different pace from Delhi.
Neemrana / Alwar side — forts and heritage stays a short drive down NH-48.

250–350 km — worth the extra hour

Jaipur (~280 km) — see our one-day Jaipur itinerary if you can stretch the weekend to two nights.
Agra (~230 km) — the Taj is a weekend trip in its own right; see our Delhi–Agra cost breakdown.
Shekhawati (Mandawa, Nawalgarh) (~250 km) — painted havelis and almost no tour buses; our Shekhawati Haveli Trail covers it properly.
Chandigarh — a clean, planned city and a good stopover if you are continuing to the hills.

Choosing between them

For a weekend rather than a week, stay under 300 km each way — anything further eats too much of the two days in the car. Our outstation taxi service covers every route above with a fixed fare agreed before you leave.
