to Visit in Haryana
About Haryana
The small state of Haryana, spread over an area of over 44,000 square kilometers,
was founded in 1966 when the former state of Punjab was divided into Haryana
and the modern Punjab. It is both the oldest and most modern of places. Most
of tourists who come to India pass through Haryana, the state that surrounds
Delhi on three sides, the capital of the country, and whose highways lead to
Agra, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh.
Tourist
Attractions in Haryana
Just around the corner from south Delhi, a mere eight-kilometre drive away lies
Surajkund with its large sun pool and amphitheatre. Built during the 10th century
AD by Raja Suraj Pal of the Tomar dynasty, Surajkund combines proximity to the
national capital with many amenities and comforts in an ambience that is typically
rural and far away from the trappings of the urban centres.
Golf Course in
Haryana
The first golf green was set up in Faridabad, Haryana in 1966, with the building
designed by the famous architect named Joseph Allan Stein. However, since it
suffered from lack of patronage, it was handed over to Haryana Tourism in 1988
and reintroduced as the Aravali Golf Course. The Course design was then laid
by Stephen Kay, the famous Golf architect from the U.S.A. Today, it is 18-hole
golf course.
History
of Haryana
The Treatise written by Manu, the lawgiver in Indian mythology, designated Haryana
as Brahmavart from where the Brahmanical religion and social system grew up
and spread outwards to the rest of the country. In a sense, therefore, one can
say that much of the Hindu religion and society was formed on the flat, dry
plains of the present-day Haryana.
Adventure in Haryana
Haryana Tourism catapulted into the arena of Adventure Sport with the forming
if its Adventure Club in November ,1991. And Adventure sport had begun. The
objective is to provide the young people with opportunities to realise their
physical and mental potential by overcoming challenges and obstacles.Even as
you read these words, some one somewhere in the state of Haryana will be venturing
into our fascinating world of Adventure Sport. He might be a speak. Aboard a
rubber dinghy. Speeding down on white water river-rafting.
How to
Reach Haryana
The Chandigarh airport is connected to other places in the country like Delhi,
Amritsar, and Leh. Proximity to the Indira Gandhi International Airport at Delhi
gives the state greater access to places in India and abroad.
Cuisines of Haryana
Haryanvi cuisine is like the people of Haryana-simple, robust and inextricably
linked to the land. In Haryana, the accent is on food that is wholesome, fresh
and prepared with little or no fuss at all. Food always evolves out of a certain
cultural context. The simpler the culture or civilization, so too the cuisine
which is uncomplicated and essentially implies sustenance. However, Haryana
with its essentially agrarian culture, has retained a simplicity in its cuisine.
