Ghaziabad, Exploring the Gateway of Uttar Pradesh
Ghaziabad, India is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP). This city is most commonly called as the “Gateway of UP,” thanks to its proximity to New Delhi. In AD 1313, Ghaziabad served as a battlefield during Taimur’s attack against the reign of Muhammad bin Tughluq. You can drive to the city from the Indira Gandhi International Airport, the busiest airport in the country and the 12th most active in the world. Hotels and lodging spaces are easily accessible to and from the airport, as well as within the city.
Best Time to Visit
If you’re planning on experiencing the city’s outdoors, October to March is recommended dates for travel as the weather is generally pleasant during this season. But among those months, November is the most festive as the whole country celebrates the Diwali, or most commonly referred to as the Festival of Lights. This five-day event is marked with gift exchanges, sumptuous meals, and fireworks. Tourism is the slowest during this season as well, so expect to score discounted Ghaziabad, India hotels. The city is the most active come February.
