Haryana is one of the fastest growing states in India. It is bordered by Uttar Pradesh in the East, Punjab in the West, Rajasthan in the South and Himachal Pradesh in the East. The state is also close to Delhi, the capital city of India and marks Delhi's western, northern and southern borders. However, the state came into existence on November 1st 1966 when it was carved out of Punjab. Most of tourists who come to India pass through Haryana, the state that surrounds Delhi on three sides, the capital of the country, and whose highways lead to Agra, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh. As they drive through, tourists are treated to the view of neat and abundant green fields, and a growing number of modern residential complexes and industrial townships. For those who want to relax for some time during the journey, there are numerous roadside resorts with which the state government has dotted all the major highways. However, there is much more to discover and enjoy in the state of Haryana.
