Recently the Yamuna Expresway opened between Greater Noida and Delhi. This is around 184 KMs and is the longest controlled expressway in India, and the toll for one way for cars is Rs. 320.

Till 15th of August it was a toll free road, and on 15th we went out to test the Highway.

Stupid idea to have barricades at the start of the expressway




This had become a picnic spot right at the start

The Holy town of Amritsar and the wagah border with Pakistan!




note to all the most lip-smackingly awesome stupendously tasty parathas in the world can be found in the two shops above, open since the mid 1800's and originally one shop the brothers have since drifted apart and divided their assets.
