The state of Haryana is one of the most tourist friendly states in India. It is a hub to connect Delhi to northern states like Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh etc. Haryana has no special or natural tourist location. But Highways and roads connecting to northern states pass through Haryana. Taking advantage the Haryana Tourism Development Corporation has developed many Motels, resorts and artificial lakes around these highways. These locations are very well built, refreshing and hygenic.
