Top Indian Destinations to be visited for next few years

Well it has been quite a while since I set out on exploring new locations. While I plan for the next one which I am sure will be very soon, here’s a list of top Top Indian Destinations to be visited for next few years. While many may think there are lot more places than these, such as the backwaters of Kerala, Beaches of Goa etc., selected few sit on top of my list and listed primarily on the criteria that they have not been visited by me –

  1. Escape to the magnificent North East frontier of India

The North India comprising of 7 states which are also called as “Seven Sisters’ has some of the marvelous and charismatic tourist locations which are ready to be explored. Although it is very difficult to choose any particular destination tour or activity that can be explored within a short duration, there are few places/ activities which are on top of my list which include –

  1. Visit to the Kaziranga National Park to see the one horned Rhino

  2. Enjoying rain in Cherrapunji – probably the wettest place in the world

  3. Traverse along the Brahmaputra Valley

  4. Experience the snow clapped mountains of Gangtok, Sikkim and Darjeeling

  5. Road trip from Manali to Leh-Ladakh

This one is certainly one of the top destinations for me. While I have been to Manali before and have been in complete awe of the place, due to time constraints, I had missed exploring the world famous road journey from Manali to Leh-Ladakh. It is said the journey on this stretch is equally mesmerizing as the destination if not more

  1. Cruise to Andaman and Nicobar

While many Indians regard this as a honeymoon package tour, there certainly is lot of anticipation in visiting these magnificent islands which are covered with white sand and surrounded by turquoise blue waters. There certainly is a lot to explore the islands and also an opportunity to visit the southernmost tip of India and also explore the mystical underwater life with a scuba diving experience

  1. Wildlife Adventure Trip at Corbett

Named after the famous hunter turned conservationist, Jim Corbett, the Corbett National Park is considered as one of the best and most fascinating natural reserves and national parks in the world. I have read the books written by Jim Corbett and ever since reading them, have had the urge to visit Nainital and the elusive Corbett National Park

  1. Get lost in the Royalties of Rajasthan

5.Rajasthan tourism is popular for its magnificent palaces and forts along with the experiencing the desert life unparalleled anywhere else in the country. The top destinations that I intend to visit on the Rajasthan tour include – Bikaner, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Mount Abu, Pushkar and Ranthambore National Park

  1. Rafting and Camping in Rishikesh

The experience of Rafting always pumps the adrenaline for me. Having done rafting thrice before at Dandeli, Manali and Bheemeshwari, the next rafting destination is the probably the best one on India – Rishikesh. White water rafting is quite an adventure sport in Rishikesh due to magnificent river Ganga, considered as the holiest river in India, which winds down from the great Himalayas.

  1. Feel Patriotic at the Indo – Pak Border

Get a feel of patriotism and nationality by heading to Wagah which is on the only crossing road border of India and Pakistan. Celebrate along with thousands the extravagant ceremony that occurs here every day before the sun sets.

  1. Trek in the Himalayas

It has been quite a while since I have went out on a trekking expedition. When trekking is on the mind, one can never miss the Himalayas which are considered as a real test for the trekkers. While the trek in Himalayas is very challenging, it certainly requires lot of skill, energy, stamina, willpower and above all the confidence to get through the harshest weather conditions.

  1. Explore the unexplored

There are several offbeat locations in India which are considered by some as land of mystery.  Some of the notable places include – Roopkund Lake, Khajjiar, Magnetic hill, The Phugtal Monastery, Chadar Frozen River Trek, Valley of Flowers in Uttaranchal, Waterfall rappelling in Vihigaon falls, panoramic view of Pangong Lake, Rann of Kutch and many more.  Exploring some of these places is certainly on the cards.
