I am tired of highway dhabas. That is why I think a peaceful drive to this royal haveli near Baghpat is the ultimate weekend getaway with my gang.
When my friends and I plan a weekend trip, we usually head towards Murthal or Jaipur Highway. What if we want to skip the traffic avoid the noisy crowds and experience something truly unique?
Over the weekend, my friends atraffic,cided to take a completely offbeat route towards the Delhi-Baghpat highway. Our destination was Shikwa Haveli. A restored 500-year-old heritage property overlooking the quiet Yamuna plains.
Shikwa Haveli is a place to visit if you love history, peaceful surroundings and slow-cooked royal food.
The drive to Shikwa Haveli and my first impressions were amazing.
Shikwa Haveli is located in Katha village in the Baghpat district. It is roughly a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from Delhi. The moment we turned off the road and approached the haveli, the urban chaos completely disappeared.
Standing in front of the wooden gates, it felt like stepping straight into a historic movie set. The haveli has been painstakingly restored by its owners, preserving 5 centuries of history. From furniture and ancient brick walls to sprawling courtyards, every corner of Shikwa Haveli has a story to tell.
What can you expect before the meal at Shikwa Haveli?
