2 Days in Sonipat for Solo Trip

Sonipat might not be the first place that comes to mind for a solo trip, but it's got its own charm. I've spent weekends here wandering through its quiet streets, enjoying the local food, and soaking in the mix of history and modern college-town vibes. It's perfect if you want a break from Delhi's chaos without going too far.
