I'm sure others will give you more advice, but in short you can go to the following places near to Delhi:

 

Vrindavan/Mathura (Birth place of Lord Krishna)

4 hours from Delhi

 

Jaipur (Govinda-ji Temple and some palaces)

6 hours from Delhi

 

Haridwar/Rishikesh (Holy Ganga and foothills of Himalayas)

7 hours from Delhi

 

Kurukshetra (Place where Lord Krishna spoke Bhagavad Gita)

6 hours from Delhi

Good advice. Here are some photo previews of the recommended pilgramage areas:

river Ganges. "Haridwar" literary means

"the gate to Lord Hari", Lord Vishnu. It is

one of the seven most sacred places of

India and in the Puranas it is called

Mayapuri-ksetra.

Safe journey!
