Try Go-Karting at Faridabad
[ 0 ]The JK Tyres people first introduced Go Karting in India in 1997. The craze caught on and now Delhi has a 300-metre long track sponsored by the Tyre Company. It was the first one to be developed in the country and a second one was built at Mumbai. The track is located at Faridabad and is some distance from Delhi's centre. The best way to get there is to hire a cab.
It also has a complete entertainment centre with video games, bowling alley, and fast food joints available. It is a great place for you to spend the day with the family, especially if the kids have got bored of visiting historical monuments.
Location: Faridabad (about 25km south of Delhi)
How to get there: Taxi
