About Faridabad

Why visit

the largest city of Haryana and Delhi's populous industrial neighbour to the south, a leading automobile and engineering manufacturing hub and one of the fastest-growing cities of the region, spread along the Aravalli hills and the Delhi-Mathura road; for the traveller its appeal is a pair of well-known draws on the edge of the hills, the annual Surajkund crafts fair and a cluster of lakes, forts and temples in the Aravalli folds, backed by a hearty, thoroughly vegetarian Haryanvi food culture

Pure-veg food trail

  • rustic and satisfying
  • bajra and makki rotis with home-churned white butter, kadhi-chawal, and tall glasses of salted or sweet lassi in the old-city eateries
  • modern mall food courts and pure-vegetarian thali houses along the Mathura Road and in the newer sectors
  • and the Rajasthani and Marwari sweet shops that ring the markets

Top sights

  • the Surajkund International Crafts Mela, the giant folk-art and handicraft fair held every year from the end of January into mid-February, when artisans from across India fill the lakeside grounds
  • the recovering Badkhal Lake, an Aravalli water body revived through a restoration project in recent years
  • Raja Nahar Singh Palace at Ballabgarh, an eighteenth-century fort-palace tied to the revolt of 1857
  • and the temple-dotted Aravalli ridge on the city's southern edge

Best season

  • October to March, cool and dry and timed to the Surajkund fair in February
  • the pre-monsoon months of May and June turn fiercely hot and dry
  • the winter weeks carry the shared Delhi NCR air-quality advisory

Getting around

  • the Delhi Metro Violet Line runs deep into the city, from Kashmere Gate all the way to the Raja Nahar Singh terminus at Ballabgarh, with Escorts Mujesar among its Faridabad stops
  • Faridabad's railway station sits on the busy Delhi-Mathura line
  • and the Mathura Road and the Delhi-Agra highway link it quickly to south Delhi
