The city of Aurangabad is the gateway to the Ajanta Caves as well as the equally spectacular Ellora Caves.

Palolem is the most southerly of Goa’s developed beaches and also one of the most beautiful. It is a natural bay surrounded by lofty headlands on either sides, resulting in a calm, idyllic sea with a gently sloping bed. For those who believe a beach cannot be paradise without a decent selection of cheap restaurants and good hotels, a dose of nightlife and plenty of like-minded people Palolem is the place to be.
6. Kanha National Park

The yellow sandstone walls of the “Golden City” rise from the Thar desert like a scene from the Arabian Nights while the Jaisalmer Fort crowns the city. Uncontrolled commercialism has dampened the romantic vision of Jaisalmer, but even with all the touts and tour buses, it remains one of the most popular tourist attractions in India.
3. Ellora Caves
Cave art is taken to new heights at Ellora Caves , one of the largest monastery-temple cave complexes in the world cut from rock. Ellora has 100 caves, though only 34 are open to the public. The largest single monolithic rock excavation is found at the Kailasa Temple, which covers an area double the size of Parthenon in Athens Constructed between the seventh and ninth centuries, the caves are devoted to Hindu, Budhist and Jainism deities.
2. Varanasi
Situated on the banks of the River Ganges, Varanasi is sacred to Hindus, Buddhists and Jains and also one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. In many ways Varanasi epitomizes the very best and worst aspects of India, and it can be a little overwhelming. The scene of pilgrims doing their devotions in the River Ganges at sunrise set against the backdrop of the centuries old temples is probably one of the most impressive sights in the world.
1. Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal in Agra is an immense mausoleum of white marble, built between 1632 and 1653 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife.

Apart from the above still there are so many places. For example in Karnataka, you have got the following places worth seeing; 1.Shravanabealgola,where you find 58 feet tall Gomateswara Statue carved in monolithic stone on top of a hill,near Hassan. I think one of the wonder of the world. 2.Again,Halebeedu and Belur places near Hassan,you have got beautiful temples with rich sculptures, more than 1000 years old. I think it is more beautiful than Khajarajo temples.

August 13, 2017 at 9:36 pm
These are all amazing places, but I would argue that the Akshardham Delhi Temple should be in this list. I visited both Akshardham and Taj Mahal during one visit, both have amazing architecture yet I was more touched by Akshardham in Delhi.

I am a Kealite. Probably my views may be biased. Recently I had been to Kumarokam and the house boat journey was a good experience. However those who are from outside Kerala may find it more attractive than me. Unlike other tourist destinations in India, the whole area is peaceful and not crowded and that is the main attraction. It is least expensive as well. Can give a try especially if you are in a Honeymoon Trip. You will get fantastic cottages adjacent to the Vembanad Lake. I also like Oooty (Tamilnadu), Kodai, Thekkadi, Vazhachal waterfalls (Kerala). I never had been to other tourist destinations in India. There can be better places as well.
January 30, 2016 at 10:03 am
Kashmir valleys are heaven on earth. This must appear in this list
January 26, 2016 at 2:24 am
I think backwaters of kerala is a wonderful place, should visit there once
September 30, 2015 at 2:22 pm
While this list is great, here are other honourable mentions that I honestly recommend any traveller to pay a visit.
1. Khajuraho Temple – Inscriptions inspired from Kamasutra 2. Konark Sun Temple – Impressive views and coastline 3. Tanjore Brihadeeshwara Temple – Grand architecture built by Chola Kings 4. Darjeeling – Beautiful hill station, great tea and plantations, mountain railway and views 5. Gir National Park – Only home of the Lions outside of Africa
The places mentioned above are declared as UNESCO world heritage sites that deserve a travellers’ attention.

20 Best Places to Visit in India
Written by Joni Sweet Updated Mar 30, 2022
Deeply traditional yet endlessly surprising, India is one of those destinations that ends up on every traveler's bucket list at some point. They might dream of going to Agra to see the Taj Mahal in all its glory, or exploring the royal palaces scattered throughout Rajasthan. Others find themselves attracted to the jaw-dropping landscapes in Darjeeling and Rishikesh , or the postcard-perfect beaches in Goa.
There's also India's big cities– New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata –each of which has its own distinctive personality. It's impossible to get bored exploring the temples, markets, and colorful streets of India's biggest urban centers. The hardest part of traveling to India is figuring out exactly what to see on your journey.
Whether you're going on an epic backpacking trip or a luxe vacation, plan your adventure with this list of the best places to visit in India.
2. New Delhi
4. rajasthan, 5. rishikesh, 6. varanasi, 7. amritsar, 10. ajanta and ellora caves, 11. darjeeling, 12. kolkata, 13. ahmedabad, 19. andaman islands, 20. mcleod ganj, map of places to visit in india.
If there was just one symbol to represent all of India, it would be the Taj Mahal . The monument inspires millions of tourists to make the trip to Agra every year, waking up before dawn to see magnificent structure radiate at sunrise. But Agra tops the list of the best places to visit in India for reasons that go beyond India's most famous attraction.
The city in Uttar Pradesh is chock-full of marvelous Mughal monuments , like Itimad-ud-Daulah's Tomb and Akbar's Mausoleum , decked out in hypnotic inlaid marble designs from top to bottom. Plus, tourists can also see another UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Agra Fort. With so many wonders in just one place, Agra is a must-visit city for tourists in India.

Despite its crowds and chaos, New Delhi offers tourists a lot to love. The colorful capital of India is the perfect marriage of heritage and modernity. Old Delhi contains some of the country's most treasured attractions, including the Jama Masjid, Red Fort, and Chandni Chowk shopping thoroughfare. But throughout the sprawling city, tourists can explore countless other sites of spiritual and cultural importance.
Top tourist attractions in New Delhi include the Lotus Temple; India Gate; Humayun's Tomb; and India's tallest minaret, Qutub Minar. Fill your days exploring these mesmerizing sites, and refueling at street-side chai stalls and high-end restaurants.
Want to see a more cosmopolitan side of India? Head to the energetic, coastal city of Mumbai–home to ultra-wealthy entrepreneurs and the hottest Bollywood actors. Tourists are never far from five-star hotels or gourmet restaurants in this luxe city. And even if those activities are out of budget, a cruise down the beloved Marine Drive will make you feel like royalty as you catch a glimpse of the scenic coast and glamorous Art Deco buildings.
You can also see a more authentic, local side of Mumbai in the bustling "Thieves Market" or at the Churchgate railway station , where hundreds of thousands of homemade lunches are packed up for delivery to the city's office workers every day.
Make sure you devote a day to checking out Sanjay Gandhi National Park and exploring the 2,000-year-old Kanheri Cave carvings.

Translated to "Land of Kings," Rajasthan brims with remnants of the kings and queens of past centuries. Between its glittering palaces , stately forts, and lively festivals, this western state deserves a starring role in your trip to India.
Jaipur , part of the Golden Triangle Tourist Circuit, which also includes Agra and New Delhi, is one of the top places to visit in Rajasthan. Dubbed "The Paris of India," it's known for its characteristic pink buildings, lavish City Palace, and jewelry stores galore.
The "Blue City," Jodhpur , offers tourists an equally unforgettable experience in its hilltop Mehrangarh Fort .
Udaipur oozes romance with its flower-lined streets and fantastic City Palace Complex , where the royal family still lives today.
And Jaisalmer looks like an Arabian Nights fairy tale brought to life, with its yellow sandstone structures and historic havelis (mansions). No matter where you end up in this desert state, you'll be captivated by the magic of Rajasthan.

Rishikesh has been on the radar for spiritually minded travelers since the late 1960s, when the Beatles spent time in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram –now an abandoned site that has become an off-the-beaten-path tourist attraction for fans.
The town is nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas on the banks of the holy Ganges River, and serves as a center for yoga and pilgrimages . Take part in the action, or just enjoy the sounds of the temple bells and sightseeing from Rishikesh's two suspension bridges , often guarded by assertive families of monkeys. Keep your distance.
One of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, Varanasi is arguably the holiest place in India. The spiritual activities take place along the sacred Ganges River, where pilgrims bathe and mourners cremate recently deceased relatives in plain view of passersby.
Tourists, on the other hand, find their own flavor of spiritualism taking sunrise boat rides, releasing floral blessings that float on the river, and watching the fire-filled Hindu chanting ceremonies from the steep ghats.
Away from the water, the streets of the old town twist and turn like an endless maze. Legend has it that there's still no accurate map of Varanasi, and once you experience the labyrinthine city for yourself, you'll be inclined to believe it.
Amritsar, the "Jewel of Punjab," has made its claim to fame with its remarkable Golden Temple . One of the holiest places in the world for Sikhs, the gilded structure is a sight to behold, glistening in the sun and reflecting into the large pool that surrounds it.
The attraction also boasts the world's largest community kitchen , which serves 100,000 diners (including curious tourists!) lentils and curries every day.
While in Amritsar, plan to spend an afternoon at the border of Pakistan to see the Beating Retreat Ceremony. Goose-stepping guards from long-term rivals India and Pakistan open and close the border gates at dusk in an over-the-top ceremony you'll never forget. Get there early to dance to blaring Bollywood music with locals in the streets.

India's not just full of big cities and holy sites–it also has incredible beaches down south in Goa. Its stretches of golden sand along the Arabian Sea offer something for every type of tourist, whether you're interested in hanging out with the backpacker crowd in laid-back beach huts or having a ritzy tropical getaway at a five-star resort.
One unique part of Goa is its blend of Indian and Portuguese cultures. You'll experience the fusion throughout the destination, from its Baroque architecture and cathedrals to its spicy vindaloo curries and seafood dishes.
Head south of Goa, and you'll trade beaches for tranquil backwaters in Kerala. Nothing beats the experience of hopping aboard a traditional thatched-top houseboat in Alleppey (also known as Alappuzha ) and slowly floating through palm-fringed lagoons and rivers, either as a day trip or overnight adventure. You'll enjoy freshly cooked Indian cuisine on the water and breathtakingly beautiful natural sights and wildlife.
Easygoing Kerala is like a breath of fresh air from the intensity of cities like New Delhi and Jaipur up north. Schedule some time here when you're in need of a break from the chaos.
Time travel isn't a reality for travelers quite yet, but you can get pretty close at the Ajanta and Ellora Caves in Maharashtra. Both UNESCO World Heritage Sites , the caves feature intricate carvings from at least 1,500 years ago.
The Ajanta Caves are the oldest of the two attractions, featuring around 30 Buddhist cave monuments cut into the rock as far back as the 2nd century BC.
Around 100 kilometers southwest, the Ellora Caves contain nearly three dozen Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu carvings, the most famous of which is the Kailasa Temple (Cave 16), a massive structure devoted to Lord Shiva that features life-size elephant sculptures . The magnificent carvings at both sites will leave you filled with wonder.
Sightseeing in India doesn't get much better than what you'll discover in Darjeeling. The hill station in West Bengal is beloved for its lush green tea plantations , awe-inspiring snow-capped peaks (including Khangchendzonga , the world's third-highest mountain), and serene Buddhist monasteries. This is the perfect place to arrange a mountain trek or mountain biking adventure.
One of the most popular things to do in Darjeeling is taking a ride on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. Powered by an antique steam locomotive, the 140-year-old " Toy Train " takes tourists on two-hour fun rides from Darjeeling to Ghum– a journey that's regularly counted as one of the most scenic train rides in the world.
India's third-largest city, Kolkata, is a decaying masterpiece of former British India, brimming with colonial-era architecture . The top things to do in Kolkata include seeing the Victoria Memorial, a white marble monument that features a museum with dozens of galleries, and Park Street, a famous thoroughfare with shops and restaurants that bustle 24/7, especially during the holidays.
But Kolkata is as much about the sites as it is about the emotions. This is a city that will somehow induce every one of your emotions with the highs and lows of life taking place in plain view on every street. Brace yourself, and be open to the experience.
The largest city in Gujarat , Ahmedabad is a noisy, overwhelming metropolis that somehow wins over the tourists who make their way here. The historic city of Ahmedabad earned the coveted title of India's first UNESCO World Heritage City in 2017 for its rich architecture, walls and gates, and significant Hindu and Jain temples.
On the western bank of the Sabarmati River , tourists can wander around Sabarmati Ashram , Gandhi's headquarters from 1917 to 1930. Its museum talks about the life of the Indian hero, and displays his iconic spectacles and spinning wheel. While you're in the city, sample the street food –some say it's the best in all of India.
When the temperatures skyrocket in New Delhi and other cities in North India, tourists and locals alike make their way to cooler climates in the hill stations, the most popular of which is Shimla. The cloudy weather and forested hillsides make for a satisfying escape from the heat, as well as a placid place to spend a weekend or more. The atmosphere in the hilly central part of town, where traffic is banned, is just as pleasant as the scenic outskirts.
While you're in the area, make a reservation on the Kalka-Shimla Railway , a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 96.6-kilometer-long railroad, which has been running for over a century, is renowned for its stunning views and authentic vintage experience.
While culturally different, South India is as enchanting as the north–just visit Mysore to see for yourself. The third-largest city in Karnataka is considered to be the cultural capital of the state, celebrated for its high-quality silk , Mysore painting tradition, and hypnotic Hindu temples with deity carvings that nearly touch the clouds.
Most tourists visit Mysore to see its World Heritage-listed palace. This attraction takes Indian grandeur to the next level, with endless mirrored decor, stained-glass windows, carved wooden doors, and intricate mosaic floors that look like the inside of a kaleidoscope. The palace is considered to be one of the country's finest examples of Indo-Saracenic design. Be sure to swing by to see the palace at night, when it's lit up with thousands of twinkle lights.
Situated amid the jagged crags of the Karakoram and Zanskar mountain ranges , Ladakh offers tourists the chance to immerse themselves in an awe-inspiring alpine desert. Driving around the region's winding roads comes with one incredible natural view after the next: plunging valleys, gushing rivers, snowcapped peaks, and more. Ladakh's enchanting capital, Leh , stands at 3,500 meters above sea level, so you'll want to spend at least a few days acclimating to the altitude before embarking on any strenuous activities.
Ladakh didn't open to tourists until 1974. Given its difficult-to-reach location and its long-time isolation, the Buddhist-majority region has retained a unique cultural identity and a somewhat "untouched" feel. You'll see Buddhist monasteries and temples all around Leh's Old Town, and countless colorful prayer flags fluttering in the breeze.
Don't miss the nine-story Leh Palace , which dates back to the 17th century, as well as the Shanti Stupa –a monument to world peace. You can also see a superbly sustainable way of life in this traditional community, which receives very little imported goods and remains largely self-sufficient.
In a country as sweltering as India, it's a relief to find cool weather in hill stations all over the country. Manali happens to be one of the most popular among local and foreign tourists alike. Located in Himachal Pradesh , the high-altitude resort town in the Himalayas makes an easy getaway from Jaipur, New Delhi , or Punjab. The tourist-friendly Old Manali neighborhood brims with chilled-out cafés; great restaurants; and home-stay accommodations, where visitors can experience a local way of life.
Manali is also a convenient base if you want to experience the great outdoors in this beautiful region of North India. From here, you can go trekking in the Parvati Valley, paragliding and mountaineering in the Pir Panjal mountains, and white-water rafting down the Beas River. Outfitters around the town can assist with all the arrangements and gear rentals.
Take one look at Kodagu's hilly emerald landscape perpetually blanketed by a cloud of mist, and you'll instantly see why this hill station is nicknamed "the Scotland of India." Previously called Coorg, the affluent area's biggest draws are its coffee and spice plantations . Tours of historic agricultural sites give tourists up-close views of how these foods are grown and produced. The lush scenery also makes for great bird-watching and trekking , especially in the Western Ghats.
Other popular things to do in Kodagu include seeing the 21-meter Abbey Falls gushing after the rainy season, hearing the chants of young monks at the Namdroling Monastery's famous Golden Temple, visiting the 17th-century Madikeri Fort , and watching elephants take a bath at Dubare Elephant Camp.
Andaman Islands are the go-to place in India if you're looking for a classic beach vacation. They'll treat you to powder-white sand beaches flanked by coconut palms, pastel-streaked sunsets, the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, and dense jungle landscapes. No postcard could possibly capture the majesty of this gorgeous destination.
Its ultra remote location, closer to Indonesia than mainland India, presents challenges for those who want to step foot on one of the few dozen islands open to tourists. You'll need to take a domestic flight from a major Indian city, such as Chennai, New Delhi, or Mumbai . Or, you can brave one of the long-distance ferry rides across the Bay of Bengal .
The effort can be well worth the reward, though. You'll have some of India's best beaches almost all to yourself, and the chance to see rare birds and thriving coral reefs. Culture hounds and history buffs will also relish exploring the Victorian British ruins on Ross Island , which are slowly being engulfed by the jungle.
Did you know you can visit the home of the Dalai Lama on a trip to India? The Tibetan spiritual leader's base can be found at the Tsuglagkhang complex , a monastic village in the hill station of McLeod Ganj.
Most afternoons, you can see monks passionately debate one another in the central courtyard. Make your way around the complex to see pilgrims (many of whom are in exile from Tibet) spinning prayer wheels and prostrating in prayer, along with the temple and throne on which the Dalai Lama delivers his teachings. There's also a small Tibet Museum on-site, which gives tourists a deeper understanding of the struggle Tibetans face amid Chinese occupation through moving photo exhibits and a video.
The Tsuglagkhang complex alone makes it well worth a visit to McLeod Ganj, but you can also check out a range of other attractions throughout Dharamsala. Watch artisans teach and practice traditional Tibetan art, like woodcarving and thangka painting at the Norbulingka Institute . Make the nine-kilometer trek up Triund Hill to catch views of the mighty Dhauladhar mountain range. And on your way to the Bhagsu Waterfalls , make a stop at the Bhagsunag Temple to see the ancient sacred pools, believed to be filled with healing waters.

The 15 most spectacular places to visit in India
Dec 11, 2023 • 14 min read

India’s astonishing variety of sights has to be seen to be believed. Travelers have devoted lifetimes to exploring the famous places and forgotten corners of this incredible country, driven onwards by the certainty that there’s always more to see.
Mughal palaces, towering Hindu temples, mountain monasteries, lost kingdoms, cultured cities, and genteel hill stations in the foothills of the Himalayas all jostle for attention in a country that is proudly shaking off the legacy of colonialism and repositioning itself as a global superpower. With such incredible diversity on offer, there’s just one question – where do you start?
Well, our advice is to not take on too much during a single visit. Pick an area – the tropical south perhaps, or the northern plains, or the mountain valleys of the Himalayas – and give yourself time to pause and soak up the atmosphere as you work through your must-see list .
Wherever you go, you’re guaranteed a mind-expanding and exhilarating blast of color, soul-soaring splendor, earth-shaking history and moments of pure serenity. Equal parts magic and mayhem, this mix is what makes traveling to India such an intense and addictive experience.
While this was no easy list to compile, we’re proud to present our pick of the ten best places to visit in India.
1. Agra, Uttar Pradesh
Best for romantics and fans of Mughal history
At the top of everyone’s bucket list, the Taj Mahal is as glorious as people imagine it would be – a magnificent monument to lost love, executed in pearl-white marble. Views of the world’s most beautiful building framed by a Mughal archway or floating above the misty Yamuna River will be one of the defining moments of any trip to India.
But there’s more to the former Mughal capital than the Taj. Add on a couple of days so you can visit the architecturally stunning tomb of Emperor Akbar , his rose-red sandstone former capital at Fatehpur Sikri and sprawling Agra Fort , one of India’s most epic fortifications. Thronged by millions of visitors, Agra is not always relaxing, but it’s eternally fascinating.
2. Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
Best for intense spirituality
There are few places as beguiling and bewitching as the sacred Hindu city of Varanasi . Millennia-old death rituals play out daily at the cremation ghats that line the bank of the sacred River Ganges, while the maze-like alleyways of the nearby old town reveal dizzying surprises at every turn. We defy anyone to visit without experiencing some internal soul-searching about their place in the universe.
Be ready for some challenges. The hard-edged realities of life and death and the inequalities that continue to cause hardship for many in India are obvious on the streets of the world’s oldest living city. But there are also moments of gentleness – rise at dawn and wander the ghats (riverside steps) and you’ll see Varanasi at its most spiritual, with its attention focused on the sacred river, before the tourist bustle changes the mood.
Planning tip: The best way to appreciate Varanasi’s famous ghats is from a rowboat. Boatmen offer their services from first light at boat stations along the west bank of the Ganges, providing views of a riverfront that has changed only superficially in seven centuries.
3. Mumbai, Maharashtra
Best for urban explorers and Bollywood hopefuls
Mumbai is the perfect place to take the pulse of modern India. The most densely populated city in the subcontinent is home to Bollywood film stars, enterprising market vendors, bankers and executives rushing to work in offices, and fishing families who can trace their origins back to the days when this mighty metropolis was just a humble village.
To understand more about the disparities of life in contemporary Mumbai, take a socially responsible tour through the city’s huge and disadvantaged Dharavi district with Reality Tours & Travel ; 80% of the profits go back to social projects providing opportunities for those left behind by Mumbai’s push for success.
The city’s can’t-miss excursion is the boat trip to the 1500-year-old, UNESCO World Heritage-listed rock-cut temples of Elephanta Island , but fantastic street food is the city’s great leveler. Don’t leave without sampling Mumbai's signature snack, bhel poori – puffed rice and fried dough with lentils, onions, herbs and savory chutneys, best sampled on the beach at Chowpatty or Juhu.
Detour: With time to spare in Mumbai, head to the northern suburbs, where Sanjay Gandhi National Park protects a sprawl of dry forest, home to leopards, deer, monkeys and serene Buddhist cave temples.
Best for an extraordinary taste of Tibet
In the far northwest of India, sheltered from the monsoon by the rain shadow of the Himalayas, the former Buddhist kingdom of Ladakh is culturally and geographically closer to western Tibet than anywhere in India. In this high-altitude moonscape, towering Tibetan monasteries melt into a landscape of barren rock and wind-sculpted hoodoos (don’t miss fabulous Hemis and Thiksey on the road linking Ladakh to Himachal Pradesh ).
Most visitors start in the atmospheric capital, Leh , before roaming to neighboring valleys for homestay treks and trips to view turquoise salt lakes and colorful masked dances at ancient monasteries. Ladakh wasn't touched by China’s Cultural Revolution, so this is perhaps the closest independent travelers can come to experiencing the original culture of Tibet.
Planning tip: Getting to Ladakh is half the fun. Flights run to Leh even in the depths of winter, but the most enjoyable way in is overland, by road from either Srinagar in Kashmir or Manali in Himachal Pradesh. Buses and shared 4WDs run as long as the passes are open from June to the end of September, or you can tackle the route on a rented Enfield motorcycle.
5. Kolkata, West Bengal
Best for culture vultures
The capital of colonial British India until 1911, Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is India’s third-biggest metropolis and the country's intellectual and artistic capital. Spend a few days exploring the energetic bazaars, cultured museums and British-era landmarks, and you’ll soon fall in love with Kolkata’s irrepressible energy.
To really get to know Kolkata, sign up for a Bengali cooking course and visit the revered temple at Kalighat , where the goddess Kali is appeased with sacrifices. With more time to spare, book an overnight wildlife-watching tour to the nearby Sundarbans Tiger Reserve , a legendary stalking ground for royal Bengal tigers.
Planning tip: Try to time your visit to coincide with the festival of Durga Puja in September or October, when vividly colorful effigies of the goddess are displayed in pandals (ceremonial tents) all over the city.
6. Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
Best for desert drama
The desert state of Rajasthan shows India at its most romantic and soft-filtered. Expect a mirage of camel caravans, ornate palaces, mighty forts, turbaned traders and intense colors, set against a backdrop of shifting desert sands. It’s unbelievably photogenic, but also firmly on the tourist map, so expect to share the experience with a crowd.
The pink-sandstone monuments of Jaipur , the ice-white lakeside palaces of Udaipur , and views of blue-hued Jodhpur from its lofty fort are all stunning experiences, but the city that delivers the biggest jolt to the senses is Jaisalmer , seeming sculpted from the living rock of the desert.
Its tangled lanes, towering fortress and beautifully ornate haveli (traditional houses) could have been plucked from the pages of One Thousand and One Nights , and the surrounding desert is the evocative setting for overnight camel safaris.
Planning tip: While it is possible to stay inside the fortified city, visitor numbers are having an impact on Jaisalmer’s historic heart. We recommend staying outside the walls instead – there are plenty of hotels and guesthouses within strolling distance of the fort.
7. The Kerala Backwaters
Best for lovers of slow travel
After the dusty, densely populated northern plains, tropical South India offers a lusher, more laid-back travel experience. The quintessential trip here is a slow-paced canal cruise through the emerald-green backwaters of Kerala , a 900-mile network of languid, coconut-fringed waterways, offering views of an ever-changing tableaux of South Indian life.
Hire a traditional houseboat in Alappuzha for a multiday trip, then settle in for a succulent Keralan seafood curry prepared by your personal chef as the sunset blushes over shimmering waters and silhouetted palm fronds. Post-cruise, it’s just a short hop up the coast to historic Kochi (Cochin) , with its cantilevered fishing nets and Kathakali dance theaters.
8. Bodhgaya, Bihar
Best for budding Buddhists
As the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism (plus countless smaller faiths), India is defined by sacred geography. Even here, however, few places resonate more powerfully than the Bodhi tree where Prince Siddhartha Gautama achieved enlightenment to become the Buddha (Awakened One).
The town that has grown up around this sacred spot is home to dozens of Tibetan and Southeast Asian–style temples and monasteries, with a busy program of Buddhist teachings and courses. It’s the ideal destination for any spiritual explorer.
To get a feel for Bodhgaya ’s rhythms, come early to the Mahabodhi complex and settle in beside chanting Tibetan pilgrims to meditate on the nature of impermanence. Travel experiences don’t get much more profound than this.
Planning tip: Bodhgaya is just one stop on the so-called "Buddhist circuit," taking in key locations from the life of the historical Buddha. Local buses run to nearby Rajgir, the site of one of the first Buddhist monasteries, and Nalanda's ancient Buddhist university complex.
9. Darjeeling, West Bengal
Best for a premium cup of tea with a view
Fanned by the cool breezes of the eastern Himalayas, surrounded by manicured tea estates and basking in front of epic Himalayan views, Darjeeling is easy to fall for.
For a perfect day, watch the dawn break over 8586m (20,169ft) Kangchenjunga, learn the difference between first-flush and white teas on a plantation tour, linger over an afternoon cuppa at the Windamere Hotel , then learn about the Tibetan experience at the Tibetan Refugee Self-Help Centre .
The classiest way to arrive is via the nostalgic, narrow-gauge toy train ; book tickets in advance and check to see if the steam service is running (the diesel train follows the same route, but has less charm). Don’t miss the Buddhist gompas (monasteries) dotted around the city. Below Darjeeling on the fringes of Ghum, historic Yiga Choeling Gompa has a special magic.
Planning tip: Darjeeling isn’t the only interesting stop in the area. Shared 4WDs buzz from Darjeeling to Kalimpong , another historic township with colorful Buddhist monasteries, Himalayan views and pretty flower nurseries.
10. Hampi, Karnataka
Best for a full immersion in history
Between the 14th and 16th centuries CE, the capital of the Vijayanagar empire at Hampi was home to half a million people, but this ancient metropolis was almost completely abandoned, leaving 3700 stone monuments scattered across a surreal plain of boulders.
This is a place to linger, strolling between the boulders to find carved masonry, forgotten shrines and the handsome remains of some of South India’s most dramatic stone temples.
Glance up as you wander and you’ll see rock climbers tackling bouldering routes using chisel marks made by ancient masons. Rent a motorcycle or scooter and you can roam further afield, taking in the hilltop temple marking the spot where the monkey god Hanuman first met Lord Rama.
Planning tip: Hampi is a short bus ride from the town of Hosapete – get here by overnight train from Goa’s beaches, historic Hyderabad or the cosmopolitan southern city of Bengaluru .
11. Arunachal Pradesh
Best for stepping off the map
Tucked away near Bangladesh, the eight Northeast States – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim – are India’s wild frontier. Until the 1990s, this region of rugged mountain valleys was mostly off-limits to foreigners, and visitor numbers are still small – people who travel here earn the right to call themselves proper explorers.
Sikkim is the most famous destination in the Northeast States, but we’d encourage you east towards the forested foothills and jagged mountains of Arunachal Pradesh , where tribal communities follow a diverse range of traditional belief systems, from the Buddhist Monpa people of Tawang to the animist Apatani people of the Ziro valley.
Planning tip: Travel takes a bit of effort in Arunachal Pradesh; you’ll need to apply for a permit to enter the state, and local transport is patchy. By far the easiest way to explore is with a chartered 4WD and driver (easily arranged in Guwahati in Assam).
12. Amritsar, Punjab
Best for experiencing the power of devotion
India has pilgrimage destinations to spare, but few come close to the vibrant energy of the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The most sacred site for the Sikh religion is a gleaming jewel box, floating in a mirror-like sacred pool, thronged day and night by an unbelievable mass of pilgrims. You don’t have to be spiritually inclined to feel its powerful rhythms.
Joining devotees at the Sri Harmandir Sahib – the gold-paneled shrine at the heart of the complex – is incredibly moving. Staying overnight in the pilgrims' hostels that flank the temple compound only adds to the intensity. A donation is much appreciated for accommodation if possible, though pilgrims of all means will be accommodated if space is available. You can also sit down for meals at the temple langar (kitchen), which provides cost-free nourishment to a staggering 100,000 people per day (again, a donation is appreciated if you have the means).
Planning tip: Don’t limit your explorations to the Golden Temple – the surrounding bazaars buzz with energy and atmosphere, with vendors selling everything from embroidered chappals (sliders) to brass and polished steel pots and pans.
13. Mysuru (Mysore), Karnataka
Best for feeling like a Maharaja
The atmospheric South Indian city of Mysuru has multiple charms: towering temples, one of India’s most evocative marketplaces, and the almost impossibly extravagant crib that is Mysuru Palace , the ancestral home of the Wadiyar maharajas. No building conjures up the extravagant lives of India’s royal rulers quite so vividly – every room is a fantasy, every ornament an heirloom.
Around the palace are busy bazaars, rewarding museums and a string of Hindu temples in the classic Dravidian (Southern Indian) architectural style. Devote several days to wandering the streets, hiking up to the Sri Chamundeshwari Temple on Chamundi Hill and feasting on fiery vegetarian thalis (plate meals) in Mysuru’s restaurants.
14. Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh
Best for tiger encounters
The national parks of Madhya Pradesh are some of the best places on the planet to get close to royal Bengal tigers. Seeing one of these striped superstars loping out of the jungle will stay with you for a lifetime – as well as leaving you heartbroken at the thought of how few tigers still survive in the wild.
Everyone has their favorite tiger reserve, but we rate Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve near Jabalpur for the density of wildlife in its central Tala range. Around 70 tigers roam these dry forests, alongside leopards, monkeys, deer and gaur – India’s gigantic wild buffalo. There’s a high likelihood of sightings if you devote several days to 4WD safaris (elephant safaris should be avoided as riding can be harmful to these vulnerable animals).
Planning tip: The best time to see tigers is first thing in the morning – safaris start at 5:30am to catch tigers before they stake out a shady spot in the undergrowth to sleep through the heat of the day.
15. Madurai, Tamil Nadu
Best for religious splendor
South India's Hindu temples are a joyous celebration of the divine, decorated inside and out with vividly colorful depictions of deities and supernatural beings, both fearsome and sublime. In the southern city of Madurai , the towering gopurams (gateway towers) of the Meenakshi Amman Temple provide a three-dimensional guide to the main deities of the Hindu pantheon.
The current temple was constructed in the 17th century, but the site has been sacred to Meenakshi, the queen of the Pandya kingdom and an incarnation of the goddess Parvati, for at least 2000 years. Come early in the morning to watch sunrise bring the temple to life, then pop to the nearest branch of Murugan Idli Shop for some of the south’s best idli (steamed rice and lentil cakes).
Detour: A short bus or train ride from Madurai, Tiruchirappalli – aka Trichy – is another top spot for temple enthusiasts. The looming Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple is one of the world’s largest Hindu shrines, covering 155 acres (63 hectares) and topped by 21 deity-encrusted towers. More temples crown the rocky outcrop at the heart of the city, offering epic views over the rooftops.

Also read: Safety issues at top tourist places in India to be prepared for problems you may encounter.
Best for Monuments: Delhi
Most first time travelers to India usually land in Delhi, India's capital city. It can be quite a culture shock . The city is primed to take advantage of unsuspecting tourists. However, bear with it! Delhi's top attractions feature spellbinding mosques, forts, and monuments left over from the Mughal rulers that once occupied the city. Many of these are set in beautiful landscaped gardens that are perfect for relaxing. And the crumbling old city of Old Delhi is a fascinating, albeit chaotic, place to explore. Plan your trip there with this Delhi city guide.
Best Iconic: Taj Mahal
Nora Carol Photography/Getty Images
A part of India's popular Golden Triangle tourist circuit , Agra is best known for the Taj Mahal. Enough said really. It's India's most iconic monument and one of the top historical attractions. For that reason, it's impossible to leave it off the list. (While you're there, why not get off the beaten track and visit some attractions around Agra as well?). Make sure you read this comprehensive guide to Agra and the Taj Mahal before you go.
Best Temple: Golden Temple
Amritsar is home to one of India's most notable landmarks -- the Golden Temple. It was founded in 1577 by Guru Ram Das, the fourth Sikh guru. It’s the spiritual capital of the Sikhs and gained its name, meaning "Holy Pool of Nectar", from the body of water around the Golden Temple. The exquisite Golden Temple attracts pilgrims from all over the world and the number of visitors it gets rivals that of the Taj Mahal! It looks particularly arresting at night when it’s beautifully lit up, with its imposing gold dome illuminated. This guide to Amritsar and Golden Temple has more details.
Best Regal Splendor: Udaipur
Ah, Udaipur! Famed city of lakes and palaces, and the most romantic city in India. A must-visit for the ability to immerse yourself in regal splendor. The royal family has converted much of the sprawling City Palace into a museum , housing priceless memorabilia. It provides an extraordinary opportunity to take a look into their lives. Another attractive thing about Udaipur is that it offers great value! There are so many inexpensive yet atmospheric hotels overlooking the lake to stay in. Or, stay in the City Palace Complex itself, at the Shiv Niwas Palace Hotel or Fateh Prakash Palace Hotel.
Best Ruins: Hampi
Hampi is, not surprisingly, one of the most popular places to visit in Karnataka. There you'll find the captivating ruins of Vijayanagar, the last capital of one of the greatest Hindu kingdoms in not only the state but in India’s history. The ruins are intriguingly intermingled with large boulders that rear up all over the landscape. An incredible energy can be found at Hampi. Its laid-back vibe attracts plenty of travelers who like to stay a while and chill out. The New York Times included Hampi on its list of 52 Places to Go in 2019 , so get there fast before everyone else! Have a read of this handy Hampi travel guide for more information.
Best for History and Architecture: Ajanta and Ellora Caves
TripSavvy / Anna Haines
Among the top caves in India , the ancient and awe-inspiring Ajanta and Ellora caves have been hand-carved into hillside rock quite in the middle of nowhere near Aurangabad in northern Maharashtra. These caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are 34 of them at Ellora, dating from between the 6th and 11th centuries AD. They're a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves. The caves at Ajanta are all Buddhist caves. There are 29 of them, dating from the 2nd century BC to 6th century AD. Words can't describe how magnificent they all are.
Best for Spirituality: Varanasi
Varanasi, one of the top spiritual places in India, is a city quite unlike any other. This mystical holy city openly reveals its rituals along the many riverside ghats, which are used for everything from bathing to burning the bodies of the dead. Indeed, Varanasi is a confronting and rather dirty city (although it has been cleaned up a lot in recent years). However, it provides invaluable insight into ancient traditions in India. Two highlights are wandering along the riverside ghats and attending the evening Ganga Aarti ceremony. Here's a Varanasi travel guide to help you plan your trip.
Best for Culture: Kolkata

Kolkata , the capital of West Bengal, is a fascinating but underrated city that unfortunately all too often gets overlooked by tourists. Those who are most keen on history, experiential travel, and day-to-day life will appreciate what it has to offer though. Look past its crumbling buildings and you'll discover delicious distinctive Bengali cuisine , interesting places to shop , diverse neighborhoods , and engaging heritage . The city's biggest festival, Durga Puja , is worth experiencing as well! Take a look at these evocative photos of Kolkata for inspiration.
Best for South Indian Culture: Madurai
Olaf Kruger/Getty Images
Madurai, in Tamil Nadu , has the most impressive temple in South India -- the Meenakshi Temple . If you only see one of South India's temples , the Meenakshi Temple should be it. The city of Madurai is more than 4,000 years old, and has remained a major center for Tamil culture and learning. The 12 day Chithirai Festival , featuring a re-enacted celestial wedding of God and Goddess, is held in Madurai during April each year. Here's what else to see and do in Madurai.
Best for Tribal Culture: Northeast India
Tourists are often surprised to discover that there are many different tribes in India . In fact, along with Africa, India has the largest tribal population in the world. Many of them inhabit India's remote Northeast region and they generally welcome visitors. One of the best ways to experience their culture is to attend one of their tribal festivals , such as the renowned Hornbill Festival. Otherwise, reputable local companies such as Greener Pastures and Holiday Scout conduct responsible tribal tours.
Best for Relaxation: Kerala Backwaters
One of the must-do things in Kerala , a trip in a houseboat along the palm-fringed Kerala backwaters is so tranquil and relaxing. The lush green landscape, and houses and villages that line the backwaters make a journey along these waterways seem like a journey through another world. Freshly cooked Indian food and chilled beer on board the boat make the experience even more enjoyable. Don't miss it! Here's how to best visit the Kerala Backwaters.
Best for Beaches: Goa

India's top beach destination, Goa lures visitors with the promise of parties and lazy days by the sea. However, there's more to Goa than just hedonism. The state also offers an eclectic blend of history, nature, culture , and adventure activities . It's divided into north and south Goa, with the north being more developed and action-packed. If you're looking for quiet beaches, head south! However, each beach has its own character. This Goa beach guide will help you choose the beach that's right for you. Check out these gorgeous Goa beach huts as well.
Best for Wildlife: Kanha National Park
India has so many national parks, it's hard to choose the best wildlife destination. However, the jungles of Madhya Pradesh do stand out, Kanha National Park in particular. It's one of the largest national parks in India and it provided the setting for Rudyard Kipling’s classic novel, The Jungle Book . The park is highly regarded for its research and conservation programs. Numerous activities, such as nature walks, are possible in the buffer zone as well as safaris into the core area twice a day. Tiger sightings are regular there too! Want to visit more than one national park in Madhya Pradesh ? Bandhavgarh is also popular.
Best for Adventure: Spiti

The high-altitude alpine desert landscape of remote Spiti, in Himachal Pradesh, provides ample options for adventure enthusiasts. These include mountain biking, hiking and trekking, tracking wildlife, and yak safaris. Spiti's remarkable landscape is scattered with small villages and monasteries, and enclosed by soaring peaks crowned with snow. Take a look at these spectacular photos of the Spiti Valley . Spiti can be reached by road from Manali or Shimla. This ultimate Spiti travel planner will help you organize your trip.
Best Offbeat: Kutch Region of Gujarat
Referred to as India's "Wild West", the Kutch region of Gujarat is an immense stretch of largely barren and harsh desert landscape bordering Pakistan. Much of Kutch consists of seasonal wetlands known as the Great Rann of Kutch (famous for its salt desert) and smaller Little Rann of Kutch (famous for its Wild Ass Sanctuary ). The region is also celebrated for the vibrant handicrafts made by its talented artisan villagers, and the seaside port town of Mandvi where there's a remarkable 400 year-old ship building yard.

A Journey through India in Photos
Julie Last updated: November 29, 2023 India 13 Comments
India is a country of stark contrasts. This is a country of magnificent beauty, ancient temples, towering mountains, steamy jungles, and hot, dry deserts. It’s also a country that is overpopulated and in some areas impoverished. Travel to India and you will love it and hate it, rejoice in its beauty and become disheartened with its squalor, fall in love with the people but get exasperated when they just won’t leave you alone.
It is no secret that we were not big fans of India during our five week visit here. In fact, we considered skipping the last several weeks, shortening our itinerary and traveling to Myanmar or Thailand early. But our time in India changed us in so many ways…how we travel, who we are as a family, and how we think about our place in the world.
It’s funny how time can change your perspective. Now, I look back on India with fondness. Even though not everything we experienced was pleasant, we did make some unforgettable memories. Sometimes, the things that challenge you the most leave the deepest mark on your soul.
Now, several years later, as I pour through our photos, I am feeling nostalgic for India. Journey through India in photos and just maybe get inspired to visit this land of stark contrasts.

People loved taking our photo
It was almost impossible to escape the attention
Sometimes we would attract a huge crowd of people, with photo sessions lasting over 15 minutes. At first, we thought this was fun, but as time went on, this was something that became aggravating.
But we loved the people. And we took photos of them as well.

Hello, U have a wonderful Blog and Beautiful Pictures. But I feel you have missed a lot in INDIA. NO offense but as per itinerary you just a small portion of it. You must plan a visit to India and this time try Visiting the hidden gems like Khumbhalgarh, Havelis of Kajra, Jhunjhunu, Orcha, Datai, Ajanta & Ellora caves, Bhimbetka, Kerala, Munnar etc. These are a few suggestions which might interest you as they are not only among the beautiful places but also will give you the a peek into the diversity of India in terms of architecture and culture and food.
I agree. We would love to come back to India and visit places we haven’t been yet. Thank you for writing in with your suggestions and we will take a look at those places when we plan our next trip. Cheers, Julie
It’s quite embarrassing to see cattle roaming freely in streets but I’d say that you’ve captured the real India very beautifully. I wish that you’ll see a better India whenever you’ll visit here again 🙂
Thanks for sharing your amazing experiences and journey.
I have been following your website for a while. You guys are doing a wonderful job in posting each of your travel experiences. Thanks a ton. Thats helping me and others a lot. I am from India and I need to comment this. Looks like you just visited northern part and mostly the suburbs. There are lots of places which are so neat, ancient, natural and of course rich in south and north east part of India. Yes, you definitely need a re-visit. Good luck.
Thanks, Senthil.
Yes, hoping to revisit India soon!! Cheers, Julie
After reading your blog on India, I was very disappointed about your experiences. We spent 3 weeks in 2017, mostly in Rajasthan (side trip to Nepal) and absolutely fell in love with the country and the people. Yes, it is dirty and sometimes smelly but if you expect to experience that, that’s what your experience will entail. We (me and my husband of 45+ years) fell in love with India long before we arrived…the colors, the culture, the spirituality and the total happiness we found was completely true upon arrival. I do realize that coming from the USA where we have everything and basically want for nothing, it is very hard to understand how people can be happy but yet so poor. The most valuable thing we both learned is “do not judge a book by its cover” – embrace their differences, don’t judge their lives and try to understand the amazing culture and spirituality of India. In fact, we loved the country so much, we are planning to return for another 3 weeks in October 2019 (side trip to Bhutan). I do admire you for giving these wonderful adventures to you children. They are already better people for all of these amazing experiences. When we were raising our children (all in the 40s now), we could not afford to travel like you (camping was it for us). I only wish we could have exposed our children at an early age to what’s out there in this wonderful world. The good news is…now they are starting to travel more with their own children. We have taken our grandchildren on a few US trips (National Parks) but hope when they are done with college, we will be able to bring them on some of our fabulous experiences. Thank you for blogging about your travels. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time, from a seniors’ point of view. You have inspired me! Hope you are still traveling!!!
We thought that we were prepared for India, and in our case, a shorter trip, like 3 weeks, would have been perfect for our first visit. The last 2 weeks was the hardest, especially dealing with dengue fever. Hopefully sometime soon will be planning a return visit to India, because I know we missed some great spots. Cheers, Julie
Hi Julie-just want to say congrats on your fabulous website . I am so delighted to see your family going to such adventurous places like India! Our son is now 21 but when he was younger we spent two different year-long sabbaticals with him–one in South America and the other in Africa and Eastern Europe. I can’t stress enough the value of travel to teach your children to accept diversity, esp. in this politically charged time (let’s just say I’m with you on this one). My husband and I have recently sold everything to travel long-term, and after over 100 countries altogether we finally made it to India. I love your assessment of that crazy place and your photos. I too got dengue fever there! Anyway, thanks for the great blog and the memories. I’m hoping we can connect up some day, somewhere wonderful! (Maybe on the Bourbon Trail 🙂
PS (I post on mytripjournal.com/RumskyRambles if you are ever in the market for travel ideas or want to revisit places you’ve been! I also published a book about our travels in South America called BYOC: South America!)
Hello Robin. Wow!!! Over 100 countries…fabulous! Thank you for the wonderful compliments. Yes, it would be great to meet up some day. 🙂 Tim and I talk about traveling long-term again in the future. Congrats on going again and again and again. We really admire you. Happy Travels, Julie
You guys have been an inspiration. My sincere thanks to you for great information and amazing blogs. You guys are doing an excellent job and inspiring so many people like myself. I know that maintaining this website and providing all that information itself is also a huge task. Congratulations and please keep up the great work. I will be reaching out to you soon for my Sweden/Norway vacation plan for next summer.
Hello Jayant. Thank you so much for the very nice compliment. Yes, you are correct, this website is a lot of work, but it is so worth it. We love sharing our experiences with everyone, hopefully inspiring people to travel more, and giving advice about the things we have learned about. We look forward to helping you out with Sweden and Norway when you are ready. You picked great destinations! Cheers, Julie

Four arrested after Spanish blogger on India motorcycle tour gangraped
The couple had set up a tent to pass the night in Jharkhand state’s Dumka as seven men attacked them.
Indian authorities have arrested four people suspected of being part of a group that gangraped a Spanish tourist and assaulted her partner.
The woman – whose identity was not revealed by the authorities – is a travel blogger with more than 200,000 followers on Instagram.

She was travelling with her partner in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand when the attack happened on Friday night.
The couple had stopped their motorbikes and set up a tent to pass the night in the state’s Dumka district before a group of seven men attacked them.
All the members of the group have been identified and the remaining suspects will be arrested “soon”, Jharkhand police chief Ajay Kumar Singh told The Indian Express newspaper.
“They had beaten us and robbed us, although not many things [were taken] because what they wanted was to rape me,” the 28-year-old woman said in an Instagram post.
In another post, her male partner said he was hit several times in the head with a helmet and that his “mouth is destroyed”.
A patrol car rescued the duo late on Friday night after the assault and escorted them to a local hospital.
The couple were touring South Asia and had concluded a trip to Sri Lanka before the Indian leg of their journey.
Sexual violence targeting women is common in India, with women from minority tribal communities being particularly at risk. Taboos around speaking up about the crime and low conviction rates of suspects add to the problem.
An average of nearly 90 rapes were reported in India every day, meaning one woman was raped every 18 minutes, in 2022, according to the National Crime Records Bureau, which recorded 31,516 rape cases that year.
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh states recorded the highest number of cases.

Places in India to avoid travelling to right now
TRAVEL NEWS , HIMACHAL PRADESH Created : Mar 5, 2024, 10:00 IST
Extreme weather events and natural disasters can have devastating consequences, as seen in the recent developments in Himachal Pradesh, India. Stranded tourists were rescued from Spiti Valley amidst heavy snowfall, highlighting the importance of swift action and emergency response in such situations. With numerous roads closed and infrastructure disruptions reported, communities must remain vigilant and prepared to mitigate further risks. Additionally, disruptions to essential services like cellular networks and power supply further compound the challenges faced by affected areas. Here are some of the places you should avoid travelling to right now.
Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh is known for its scenic beauty and historical sites. However, with the recent avalanche warning issued by authorities, travelling to Chamba can be risky due to the potential threat of avalanches. Heavy snowfall and unstable weather conditions increase the risk of avalanches in mountainous regions, making it unsafe for tourists to visit at this time.
Lahaul and Spiti
Lahaul and Spiti district is a remote and rugged terrain with high-altitude landscapes and picturesque valleys. Despite its stunning beauty, the district is prone to avalanches, especially during periods of heavy snowfall. Tourists are advised to avoid travelling to Lahaul and Spiti as the risk of avalanches poses a significant danger to their safety.
Kullu district, known for its lush green valleys and scenic beauty, is a popular tourist destination in Himachal Pradesh. However, with the current avalanche, heavy rain and snowfall warning in place, travelling to Kullu can be hazardous. The mountainous terrain and heavy snowfall increase the likelihood of avalanches, posing a threat to tourists and locals alike.
Kinnaur district is famous for its rugged landscapes, ancient temples, and serene atmosphere. While it attracts tourists seeking adventure and tranquillity, the district is currently under an avalanche and rainfall warning. The steep slopes and rocky terrain make Kinnaur susceptible to avalanches during periods of intense snowfall, making it unsafe for tourists to visit.
Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, is renowned for its colonial architecture, scenic beauty, and pleasant climate. However, with the avalanche warning issued for the district, travelling to Shimla can be risky. The hilly terrain and snow-covered mountains increase the risk of avalanches, posing a threat to tourists exploring the area.

10 Travel Destinations Not Pretty At All
Posted: March 4, 2024 | Last updated: March 4, 2024
Traveling is an adventure that many people dream of. Exploring new places, trying different foods, and immersing oneself in different cultures can enrich experiences. However, some travel destinations may not meet the hype or expectations. Recently on an online platform, people have shared several overrated travel destinations worldwide that may need more time and money.
1. Gatlinburg, Tennessee, USA
Gatlinburg, the misunderstood gem of travel destinations, has been misjudged by many. The city’s popularity is often credited to its thrilling carnival rides and famous attractions, but there’s more to Gatlinburg than meets the eye. A seasoned traveler, having witnessed the beauty of the surrounding mountains, urges visitors to look beyond the city and behold the exquisite natural wonder. Diverse and vibrant lush forests, winding trails that lead to mystical destinations, and awe-inspiring views that leave one spellbound are hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.
2. Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Per one user, Baltimore fell short of their expectations and was deemed overrated. Anticipating a more exhilarating and dangerous adventure, the user was left wanting as all they did was visit the aquarium.
3. Zurich, Switzerland
As one traveler noted, Zurich, a city with a reputation that precedes itself, is only some of it’s cracked up to be. According to the person, there are specific guidelines to follow in this urban landscape, and the key to accessing all that the city has to offer is enough money. Sundays can be especially challenging, as most places outside the tourist hotspots near Hauptbahnhof will be shuttered, leaving visitors with limited options.
4. Cairo, Egypt
Egypt, as described by one traveler, has its ups and downs. Cairo, unfortunately, found itself at the bottom of the list, with the traveler finding it polluted, congested, and lacking in attractions. Disappointingly, even the Giza pyramids’ base had fast-food chains like KFC and Pizza Hut. However, the traveler’s three-day voyage up the Nile shone brightly as they explored the temples and ancient sites that embody the essence of Egypt’s allure.
5. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
One individual who has spent their entire life in Dubai views the city differently. They deem it grossly overrated, citing a need for more enthralling activities besides indulging in shopping, which is the city’s primary focus. Their memory of a hailstorm that ravaged the city several years ago still stands out as the most intriguing occurrence they can recount.
6. Los Angeles, California, USA
Someone’s assessment of Los Angeles leaves no room for ambiguity. To them, it is an overrated tourist spot with an unwieldy urban landscape that resembles a “Mad Max apocalyptic hellhole the size of England.” The remark conveys a sense of disappointment and frustration with the city’s over crowdedness and navigational challenges, all of which underscore their belief that the city is not as glamorous as its reputation suggests.
7. Miami, Florida, USA
Beneath the glitz and glamour of Miami lies a stark reality – at least, that’s what one user thinks. While the city boasts breathtaking beaches, a melting pot of cultures, and sunny skies, it is marred by a high crime rate and an air of snobbery. The club scene and shopping districts may be alluring, but the prices often leave one feeling robbed. Despite loving Miami and having lived in other states and even Europe, the user believes the city is only some of what it’s hyped up to be for the average person.
8. Boise, Idaho, USA
Boise, Idaho – it’s been hailed as a hidden gem of the West by many, but one user begs to differ. In their opinion, the city is nothing to write home about, with its hot and drab landscape lacking any noteworthy highlights. And if that’s not enough to dampen your spirits, brace yourself for the crazy Mormons and Republicans that supposedly run the city, along with an invasion of creepy crawly spiders. According to the user, Boise is anything but underrated and is, in fact, a tad worse than what most people may imagine.
9. Damascus, Syria
Some travelers expressed their worries about the ongoing conflicts and security issues in Syria, particularly in Damascus, which could make the trip unsafe or unpleasant. Other comments mentioned that the city might not have enough tourist infrastructure, such as hotels, restaurants, and transportation, to accommodate large numbers of visitors.
Some travelers noted that the city’s cultural heritage sites had been heavily restored, which can diminish the authenticity and charm of the experience. Additionally, the city may be heavily influenced by tourism, making it feel less genuine. A few comments also mentioned that the city could be polluted and overcrowded, particularly in the peak tourism season, which could be a turn-off for some visitors.
10. New Delhi, India
New Delhi – is a city full of vibrant colors, rich history, and mouth-watering cuisine. Well, not according to this tourist. In a fiery rant, they express their profound disappointment with the city, branding it as an overrated travel destination. Crowded streets, a lack of fun activities, and the constant stench of burning garbage, cow dung, and open sewers – it’s a far cry from the idyllic picture most people have in mind. And don’t even get them started on the food, which they claim is cooked in unhygienic conditions, and the relentless hustle and bustle of cab drivers, merchants, and restaurant owners preying on unsuspecting tourists. All in all, it could have been a better experience, in their opinion.
