Major city · India
Rohtak
Spend a half‑day to see Tilyar Lake and the local cloth market; add a quick visit to the zoo or Sai Mandir if time permits.
Rohtak sits 70 km north of Delhi on NH‑10, making it a convenient day‑trip from the capital. Its main attractions – Tilyar Lake, the zoo, Sai Mandir and the huge Shouri cloth market – are clustered near the city edge, so a few hours cover the highlights. The city’s educational campuses and historic sites add depth for longer stays, but most travellers can see the key sights in one half‑day.
