Bhiwani
Half a day is enough: see the Star Monument and the zoo, then move on to Hisar or Delhi. Not a base.
Bhiwani is a small Haryana city 128 km west of Delhi, known for its hexagonal Star Monument and a compact zoo. Most travellers pass through on the way to Hisar or Rewari. Half a day covers the main sights; there is no reason to stay overnight unless you have business or family in town.
