2 Days in Greater Noida for a Solo Trip

Greater Noida might not be the first place that comes to mind for a solo trip, but it’s got its own charm—especially if you love a mix of modern attractions and quiet spots. I’ve spent time here wandering around the parks, checking out the local food, and even catching a race at the Buddh International Circuit. It’s a great place to explore at your own pace without the crowds of Delhi.
