Ghaziabad to Alwar Taxi Service

Route Overview

Ghaziabad to Alwar Taxi via Delhi, Gurgaon and NH-48

Bala Quila overlooks Alwar from its hilltop position, with wide views across the city and surrounding countryside that make clear why the fort was built where it was.

Below it sits the City Palace, more ornate in design and now partly used for government offices, with the remaining sections open to visitors interested in its courtyards.

The old town around both sites keeps a genuine market feel, easy to walk between on foot, and noticeably different from the more polished heritage circuits through Jaipur or Udaipur.

From Ghaziabad, the drive routes through Delhi and Gurgaon before joining NH-48, short enough overall to work comfortably as a single-day trip, though an overnight stay allows more time without rushing.

Since Sariska Tiger Reserve sits nearby, Alwar often functions as a base for travellers pairing a safari with the town's heritage sights, though it holds up well as a standalone destination too.

Places to Visit

Top Attractions in Alwar

• Bala Quila — This hilltop fort overlooks Alwar and provides wide views across the city and the countryside beyond. Parts of it remain in reasonable condition, and walking along the fort walls gives a genuine sense of its earlier function as a defensive stronghold.
• City Palace (Vinay Vilas Mahal) — Sitting just below the fort, this ornate palace is partly used for government offices today, while several sections remain open to visitors interested in the architecture and courtyards. The contrast between decorative design and current use gives it an interesting character.
• Siliserh Lake Palace — This palace, originally a royal hunting lodge overlooking Siliserh Lake, now operates as a heritage hotel, though visitors not staying overnight can still walk the grounds and enjoy the lakeside setting. It offers a calmer, more scenic contrast to the busier fort and palace closer to town.

Good to Know

Best Time to Travel and Road Notes

Best season: October to March offers the most comfortable temperatures for exploring the fort and old town, given how hot this part of Rajasthan runs through summer. Visiting Bala Quila early in the day is worth planning, both for cooler conditions and clearer views before haze sets in.

Road note: NH-48 carries a steady flow of long-distance traffic through most of this drive, though it remains shorter and more predictable than routes further into Rajasthan. Drivers who know this corridor still leave buffer time for traffic near Alwar's turn-off.

• AC works consistently through the drive, which matters more here than on most other routes given how hot the plains get.
• Drivers on this route know the highway well and can suggest a sensible halt if the day runs long.
