Many will never go on their dream holiday. They’ll daydream, saying ‘One day’, but then they’ll put it off for a time that may never come. Today, we’re saying no to that sentiment and yes to putting our money where our mouth is.

Perhaps you want to explore your own backyard or venture further abroad to soak in exotic destinations. India is packed with stunning vistas, charming towns, and fascinating cultures just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

India is the seventh-largest country in the world. Its diversity makes it impossible to describe the beauty of its land in a few words. It is a land of different seasons, various landscapes, prosperous cultures, and golden history. Planning a vacation in India is certainly a big task. Here are some aspects that can help you while you work on your plan.

BEACHES
The beaches of Goa are exemplary in their exotic beauty. Calangute and Baga beaches are visited by thousands of foreign and domestic tourists.
The matchless nightlife, beach parties, and cruises are some experiences you will not want to miss. Moving towards the Arabian sea coastline, the most beautiful beach in Kerala is Kovalam beach. This place will fill your heart with exceptional delight and contentment.

HILL STATIONS
Hill stations are most preferred when it comes to escaping the regular life. India is an abode to more than 50 popular hill stations. If the meaning of hills for you is snow-capped mountains then Shimla, Manali,  Darjeeling are the places for you. These places can let you breathe your dreams from a road trip to trekking and numerous other adventure activities. Another place to experience a high-altitude life is Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya. The enchanting beauty of this place is owed to the fluttering pine trees, clear blue sky amid the floating clouds and lush green gardens to wander.

WILDLIFE
If the wild and adventurous is what you are looking then you can choose according to your convenience any wildlife National Park. Some top choices are Sundarbans National Park, West Bengal; Gir National Park, Gujarat; Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand; Kuno National Park, Madhya Pradesh; and Kaziranga National Park, Assam.

The choice of place can vary as per your convenience. If you have a week’s time then going on a full-fledged tour will be best. On the other hand, if you only have 2-3 days then selecting a nearby and easily accessible location is a wise decision. The season in your region can also affect your choice of location. You may want to relax on a beach when it’s winter or may want to get a glimpse of high snowy peaks; it’s up to your will.
Indian tourism is one of the cheapest, so your worries for expenses can be kept aside with the right choice of package. Some might want their holidays to be filled with exploration if it is the case then adding some more local places will be worth it. Alternatively, if you want a relaxing weekend then a single peaceful destination like Munnar, Alleppey in Kerala State will be enough.

ARCHITECTURE
An architecture buff will always prefer the marvelous monuments over any other place. Delhi, the capital of the country has a number of historical buildings like Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. Rajasthan is the home to the most glorious Royal Palaces of India namely The Amer Fort, Lake Palace Hotel, Hawa Mahal and many more. Uttar Pradesh is the home to the Taj Mahal. These are just a few of the endless number of places to visit in India.
