From cruising on serene lakes, sleeping on a houseboat in Alappuzha (Kerala) to trekking in the Great Himalayan National Park (Sainj Valley, Tirthan Valley, Parvati Valley and Jiwa Nala Valley) to exploring the delicious street food of Kolkata and Odisha to witnessing the great Rann Utsav of Kutch, Gujarat.
The majestic Himalayas, the pristine valleys of the North East and the steaming hills of the Western Ghats prove that when it comes to hiking or trekking in India, there are plenty of offbeat destinations to explore in the country.
Whether you are in the mood for a short day hike in the hills or an epic expedition, there are plenty of options to choose from. Kedarkantha trek in Uttarakhand, Seven Sisters Trek in Himachal Pradesh, Chadar Trek in Ladakh, Chembra Peak in Kerala, Goecha La Trek in Sikkim, Valley of Flowers Trek in Uttarakhand or Nongriat Trek in Meghalaya are some of the best examples.
India’s coastline, which stretches over 7,500 km, is one of the longest in the world. Hence, it is no surprise that India is home to several incredibly picturesque beaches. Apart from offering unforgettable views of sunrise and sunset, the pristine beaches of India offer sports activities, vibrant festivals, delicious seafood dishes and much more. So, if you are someone who prefers a quiet beach vacation, India is the holiday destination for you. Radhanagar Beach in Havelock Island, Galgibaga, Pebble and Butterfly Beaches in Goa, Chandrabhaga Beach in Odisha, Gokarna in Karnataka, Kovalam Beach in Tamil Nadu and Marari in Kerala are some of the beaches in India to explore.
The food in India is as colorful as its history. Each state you travel to offers rich cuisine and hundreds of delicious dishes to try. Whether you try Rogan Josh from the Kashmir Valley, the fiery Chettinad Chicken from Tamil Nadu, Galouti Kebabs from Lucknow, Vada Pav from Mumbai, Hyderabadi Biryani from Hyderabad, Phuchka from Kolkata, Chhena Poda from Odisha or Khar from Assam – each dish will leave your mouth watering.
We all grew up hearing the phrase: the journey is worth more than the destination. This is especially true in India. Road trips are one of the best ways to enjoy any destination in the country while taking the scenic routes to get there. The vastness of India offers countless options to embark on road trips or off-road experiences on challenging terrains with your family or friends. Some interesting tourist routes in India are Manali-Ladakh, Ahmedabad-Kutch, Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur), Mumbai-Goa, Kolkata-Darjeeling, North East Trail (Guwahati-Arunachal Pradesh- Nagaland-Meghalaya -Shillong).
Finally in India, you will surely find what you are looking for if you are looking for an adventure holiday: white water rafting in Rishikesh, off-roading in Zanskar Valley, wildlife safari in Kaziranga or Corbett National Park, paragliding in Bir, scuba diving in the Andamans, surfing and kayaking in Goa, helicopter skiing in Himachal Pradesh at Pin Parvati Trek to name a few.
