15 Best Last Minute Weekend getaways from Delhi

I almost lost my temper that night.

Not because of work!!

Not because of people!!!

But because I felt. . . . . . stuck

Same chair, same screen, same routine

That day … i was thinking 🙄

It was Friday night 10:12 PM.

Everyone had plans

And me ?

doing the same work daily, checking my emails, refreshing every minute.

Then finally ! I decided

picked my phone and started searching on google search bar

**Weekend Getaways from Delhi**

Awe – pheyu ….. what a huge list, so many options

i find more confusing.

guess what happened …. . . . . .. . the real problem started . . . . . .

I think this happened with every one I suppose. . .

👉 *What if I choose the wrong place?*

👉 *What if I waste my only weekend? *

👉 *What if this trip doesn’t fix anything? *

This hesitation almost stopped me.

But, a murmuring voice inside me said . . . . *just go man*

and then,

I jumped from by chair, rushed towards my Almira,

took out my riding Rynox grey color AIR 2 riding jacket and Raida black color riding pant.

Pulled the backpack from the cupboard

picked one T shirt, one jacket, one jeans

and the most important of all . . . . . charger

No bookings, No plan

just me and my soul !

set the clock alarm ! at 5 AM.

This is it, a peaceful smile inside me blushing out in a single room!

The Morning wake up Alarm 5:00 AM

dressed in my riding jacket and pants

I am looking like an exciting goat (riding jacket grey top and a black bottom) who is eager to run away from the barns!

cold started my moto-bike!

The roads were calm, composed,

the cold breeze of fresh air engulfed me as i passed the urban highway into the natures palm

and slowly my mind started to breathe again.

The Real Problem (Why most people don’t travel)

Let me be honest to you!Usually we all search :

*Places to visit near Delhi Weekend*

*Last Minute trip from Delhi**Weekend trip near Delhi within 300 km*

But we don’t go

not because we can’t

but because we over think

we wait either validation from other or we wait for:

perfect Plan

• Perfect budget
• perfect timing

But here’s what I learned this morning:

• perfect plans don’t create memories
• Decisions do.

What changed after this one trip

That one random ride turned into a habit.

Now whenever I feel stuck. . . . . . .

I just leave !

and every time i come back

• clearer thoughts
• lighter i feel
• my focus increased
• feel more energetic
