Our religious tourist visit to Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra

How did we reach Kurukshetra? Me and my wife took the train Kalka Shatabdi from New Delhi at 07:40 A.M. and arrived at Kurukshetra Railway Station by 09:45 A.M. It had rained almost throughout our train journey and it had stopped just in time for us to enjoy our tourist day 😊!  This is the shortest time in which one can reach Kurukshetra from New Delhi. There are many other trains also; and, one can go by road as well which should take around 3½ to 4 hours from New Delhi. How did we commute within Kurukshetra? We had booked a local taxi (Guru Nanak Taxi service, Swift Dezire) on phone from Delhi itself, and our driver was waiting for us outside the Railway Station when we reached there. I told him about the places that we wanted to see, and he drew his plan to optimize the route. Our deal was to pay him INR 1300 at the end of the day (~7 P.M.) The deal that taxi owner offered by default was for 8 hours and 80 KMs. You don’t exceed 80 KMs although you do exceed 8 hours limit
