Day 14: 18/09/2011
Today, we were all quite excited as we'd be finally visiting the Capital of the country. We had undertaken such a long and Trojan adventure. We were traversing the whole of our country. The capital lay right on our way. It'd have been not only foolish but quite disrespectful if we hadn't paid a visit to the capital. So, early in the morning, we set off from Karnal towards Delhi.

Luckily, it was a Sunday. So, we didn't face much traffic in Delhi city when we reached there at around 11 am. We had decided that we'd only visit India Gate, salute the monument and get on with our plan. But Universe had something else in store for us. Something even better, that is. :) On the way, we came across Raj Ghat, the memorial to the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Of course it's impossible that we come across this awesome monument and not visit it. So, ahead we went. And only after paying our respects to him did we go ahead to India Gate.

Finally, after all the excitement about visiting Delhi, we moved on towards Agra on the fabulous National Expressway. We crossed Mathura and finally, reached Agra, where we stayed at Hotel Vimal, by 8pm.
