The last ride we made to Zanskar with our guests through mighty Shinku la was in December 2022. A short 3 day excursion we made in the Lungnak valley with a crispy short hike to Phuktar monastery, the ancient marvel of Zanskar. We have been waiting patiently to resume our tours and treks in Zanskar for this summer. We expect the Shinku la/Shingo la to open by April 2nd week for vehicular movement. Do join us for an immersive experiential Jeep Safari to this remote land.

Appreciating the Beauty of India

Last year we went to a week long trip and explored new places in the mountains. We made our final stop at Shimla before coming home. In the afternoon we all went for a walk at the famous Shimla Mall Road a popular destination for tourists as well as locals.

The distance between the hotel and the mall road was short making it easier for us to reach and enjoy the beauty without worrying about our transport.

I remember going down was easy but coming up was a huge task as the road was pretty steep and we had to take small steps in order to reach the top and if you would think that’s the end. Nope it isn’t the steep continues till the main gate of our hotel.

During the afternoon and night time the mall road looked so pretty I was left mesmerised. Enjoying the long walk exploring, old shops, sitting under the tree watching people pass by and enjoying the sun, having good coffee were a few things I did and of course having good food.

I don’t know why people say that India doesn’t have any beautiful places, everywhere you go it is filthy and dirty but that’s not entirely true.

There are so many beautiful places in our country that people don’t know of and need to know. These places do give a tough competition when compared to foreign countries destination/tourists spots.

And leave the people in awe and wondering whether these kind of places actually existed or not. Sadly Indians don’t take care of their surroundings leading to poor hygienic environmental conditions.

Top 10 Holiday Destinations in India

India is the cradle of a diverse range of cultures and religions, making it one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. From the Himalayan peaks to Kerala’s lush flora, from Goa’s beaches to the sacred Ganges, and from tranquil villages like Hampi to the Thar Desert’s dunes. It’s very difficult to select! What are the most popular tourist destinations in India?

The juxtaposition of ancient living and modern technology is enthralling. Within India’s borders, there are more than 20 official languages, numerous religions, and a wide range of cuisines. Travel is essential for properly appreciating the diversity of Indian culture and history. If your plan allows, see as many of these best locations to visit in India as possible.

Some sites to visit in India, however, are always more popular than others. These are some of the top places to visit in India. India is a land that never ceases to astonish you with its breathtaking beauty. India, which is made up of various states, has so much to offer that choosing a vacation destination might be difficult.

Visiting India might be intimidating, especially for inexperienced travelers, therefore let’s start with the stunning sites that you should know about as a travel hobbyist.

Manali:

Manali, one of Himachal Pradesh’s most prominent hill stations, offers spectacular vistas of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges, which are blanketed in snow for the majority of the year.

With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Manali has become a popular destination for young people seeking extended job assignments. Old Manali is one of these people’s favourite neighbourhoods, with its relaxing cafes, high-speed internet, little eateries, and convenient stores. Many homestays and hostels provide inexpensive dorm beds for extended visits.

Manali is surrounded by numerous trekking possibilities, making it an excellent base for exploring this part of the Himalayas. In the adjacent town of Kullu, the River Beas offers excellent rafting opportunities. The Parvati Valley, which runs beside the Parvati River and includes Kasol, Manikaran, Tosh, and other tiny settlements, attracts visitors for longer stays. Travelers may now reach Sissu in just a few hours thanks to the Atal Tunnel, making Spiti much more accessible.

The months of January and February get the most snowfall, followed by December and March. In April, if you’re very lucky, you might discover some snow.

Various adventure activities such as skiing, paragliding, horseback riding, and zorbing attract visitors to Rohtang Pass and Solang Valley. The Rohtang Pass is usually always covered with snow, and it is frequently busy, resulting in traffic delays.

The town of Leh in Ladakh is renowned for its breathtaking scenery as well as a plethora of things to see and do. Despite the fact that this part of the country can be inaccessible during the winter, the summers here are cool and bustling with visitors from all over the world.

Make it a point to explore the district by vehicle or on foot, and to sample some of the great local cuisine.

There are several prominent vacation spots in Ladakh, India, including Leh, Kargil, Nubra Valley, Pangong, and so on. And if I had to pick a favourite among them, it would be Zanskar.

The Zanskar region, which connects Keylong and Kargil, is Ladakh’s most lonely and underdeveloped region. To present, most homes in Zanskar still lack power and phone service. The world’s most secluded monastery, Phuktal Monastery, is located in Zanskar and takes at least three days to access before the year 2019.

In 2019, the Border Road Organization constructed a motorable highway connecting Zansar and Himachal Pradesh via Shinkula Pass. I completed my Zanskar trips by taking a motorcycle trip across Shinkula Pass as soon as it was opened. Zanskar quickly became my new favourite place in Ladakh after my first visit. Zanskar, of course, deserves a well-deserved spot in our list of India’s top ten vacation spots.

Last year, I travelled to Zanskar as part of a one-month journey from Delhi to Sach Pass, Zanskar, Leh, and Delhi. If you’re interested, you may also read this Sach Pass itinerary.

Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, is extremely appealing, pleasantly raucous, and cloud-wrapped. It also offers a wonderful view of Mt. Kanchenjunga from afar. The picturesque hill station, which is surrounded by mountains and clouds, is also a popular starting point for hikers heading to the Himalayan mountain ranges. When viewed from a cable car, the mesmerising crystalline splendour and gorgeous curving hill roads are even more spectacular.

Gangtok, which means “high top,” is without a doubt one of the country’s most stunning hill stations. Gangtok is a living and active slice of northeastern heaven, with just the perfect mix of everything from a fusion of cultural identities to urbanisation. Mount Kanchenjunga, the world’s third tallest mountain peak, is seen from here. Gangtok, like the rest of the region, is rich in natural beauty, with attractions such as Tsomgo Lake, Ban Jhakri Falls, Tashi viewpoint, and others.

Enchey Monastery, Ganesh Tok, Do Drul Chorten Rumtek Monastery, and others are worth seeing. In addition, the Teesta River is one of the best places in North East India for white water rafting.

During the summer, the weather in Gangtok is nice. During the season, the temperature ranges from 18 to 25 degrees Celsius. If you want to avoid the heat, now is the perfect time to visit Gangtok. The combination of bright sunshine and fresh wind ensures that every tourist has a fantastic vacation filled with exciting activities to do with family and friends. Honeymoon couples contemplating a trip to Gangtok are in for a real treat, as the weather is simply perfect.

Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, is a lovely city surrounded by pine trees. It gets its name from the Shillong Peak’s Lei Shyllong, an idol revered there. This hill station, which stands at 1496 metres, is recognised for its weather, attractive settings, and customs. The ‘Scotland of the East’ is another name for this location. Khyrim, Mylliem, Maharam, Mallaisohmat, Bhowal, and Langrim descendants can be found.

There are various waterfalls in Shillong, Meghalaya’s capital. The fascinating mountain peaks, crystal clear lakes, stunningly beautiful golf courses, cafes, and museums are the main reasons visitors visit Shillong.

Apart from its natural beauty, Shillong serves as a gateway to Meghalaya, a state known for severe rains, caves, the world’s tallest waterfalls, breathtaking scenery, and fascinating people and culture. Shillong, in particular, has gotten a lot of attention for its upbeat people and culture. Shillong, however, has a somewhat westernised culture and a youthful feel about it.

Shillong is also known as India’s music capital, with several well-known musicians hailing from the city. Throughout the year, many music events take place, making it a highly active site.

Shimla is the capital of Himachal Pradesh and a popular honeymoon destination for Indian families. Shimla, at a height of 2200 metres, was British India’s summer capital. With exquisite colonial buildings, pedestrian-friendly Mall Road, and a ridge lined with stores, cafes, and restaurants, Shimla preserves its old-world charm.

Shimla is well connected to numerous places and is only 4 hours from Chandigarh, a nearby city. Although the city has an airport, there aren’t many daily flights from here. The railway station connects Shimla to the rest of the world and is known for the Kalka-Shimla train route, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The weather is good for the majority of the year, and people come to the area, particularly during the summer months. From mid-December through the end of February, the winters are cold and snowy.

Shimla, as well as the surrounding villages of Kufri, a hill-station virtually always covered in snow, and Chail, notable for a massive palace and the world’s highest cricket venue, are frequently blanketed in snow. During their journey to Shimla, tourists also visit the famed Jakhu Temple and go sightseeing at various views.

Jaipur is the first planned city in India, having been designed by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya. Rajasthan’s capital city, known worldwide for its coloured gems, mixes the charm of its ancient heritage with all the benefits of a metropolis. The bustling modern metropolis is one of the golden triangle’s three corners, which also comprises Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.

According to legend, the Prince of Wales went on a trip of India in 1876. Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur painted the entire city pink since the colour pink was associated with hospitality.

The pink that has been used to paint the city is a beautiful sight to behold. With the forts of Nahargarh, Jaigarh, and Garh Ganesh Temple in the background, Jaipur rises majestically.

Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Jai Singh II, the Raja of Amber, and dates back to that year. Because of the rapidly growing population and increasing water scarcity, he relocated his capital from Amber to the new city. The city was built according to Vastu Shastra principles by renowned architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya.

Goa, a tiny emerald island off India’s west coast and the country’s 25th state, was emancipated from Portuguese domination in 1961. It was a part of the Union Territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu until May 30, 1987, when it became a distinct state.

Goa is divided into two revenue districts, North Goa and South Goa, with a total area of 3702 square kilometres. Goa’s borders are determined by the Terekhol River in the north, which separates it from Maharashtra, Karnataka State in the east and south, and the Arabian Sea in the west. Goa is located on India’s Western Coast and is 594 kilometres (by car) from Mumbai.

The Goans are very welcoming to visitors and hold numerous festivals throughout the year, the most well-known of which are the New Year and the Goa Carnival. While the seafood is delicious, Goa offers one of the best nightlife scenes in India, with trendy pubs, beach shacks, beautiful cafes, and a plethora of clubs and discos. Goa is especially ideal for younger travellers with limited funds, thanks to the state’s cheaper alcohol rates.

This might help those of us who are continually puzzled about the differences between North and South Goa: the state of Goa is divided into North and South Goa. While North Goa is known for its nightlife and tourist attractions such as beaches, flea markets, and beach shacks, South Goa is known for its opulent resorts and laid-back beach atmosphere.

At the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a union territory of India consisting of 572 islands, 37 of which are inhabited. The Andaman Sea separates the area from Thailand and Myanmar, around 150 kilometres (93 miles) north of Aceh, Indonesia.

It is divided into two island groups, the Andaman Islands (partly) and the Nicobar Islands, by the 150-kilometer-long Ten Degree Channel (on the 10°N parallel), with the Andaman Islands to the north and the Nicobar Islands to the south (or by 179 km).

To the east is the Andaman Sea, and to the west is the Bay of Bengal.

The city of Port Blair serves as the territory’s capital. The islands’ total land area is approximately 8,249 km2 (3,185 sq mi). The region is divided into three districts: the Nicobar District, which is centred in Car Nicobar, the South Andaman District, which is centred in Port Blair, and the North and Middle Andaman District, which is centred in Mayabunder.

Udaipur, often known as the “City of Lakes,” is one of Rajasthan’s most popular tourist destinations. Udaipur is recognised for its turquoise lakes, gorgeous palaces, vibrant culture, and wonderful food. It is situated around stunning water lakes and is surrounded on all sides by the Aravalli Hills.

It is not only a must-see site, but it is also one of the best places in India to experience luxury.

One of the most magnificent views and pleasures of any vacation to Udaipur is boating through the glistening Lake Pichola. Udaipur, also known as the “Venice of the East,” is unquestionably one of India’s most charming cities.

The enchantment of Udaipur may be discovered by visiting its larger-than-life havelis and monuments, strolling through the bustling street markets, riding through one of the city’s seven lakes, or relaxing in one of the city’s outstanding hotels.

In the state of Jammu and Kashmir, there is never a shortage of sites to visit. The land is rich with breathtaking panoramas, wonderful flora, and stunning architecture, and guests may stay in charming homestays and eco-friendly resorts.

Those with an adventurous spirit will be able to participate in a variety of activities. Finally, if you are spiritually inclined, the many religious shrines will guide you to peace and tranquilly.

Kashmir is the pinnacle of natural beauty, and it is known across the world for it. Thousands of people visit the many lakes, gardens, and hill stations each year to indulge their senses.
