Manali


Manali is the twin destination of romance and adventure in India. At a height of about 2050 meters above sea level, you can choose to enjoy the serenity of the destination or get thrilled by several adventure opportunities in the land. If you are looking for romance in the hills, head to Solang Valley, which is a little distance away from the main city of Manali. And if you are looking for adventure, there is paragliding, zorbing and so much more to be done here.

Markha Valley


Located between Zanskar Valley and the town of Leh is Markha Valley. With the peaks of Stok Kangri and Matho in the background, you can expect some scintillating views in the valley. A large part of the valley has barren and rugged landscape, which makes it an adventurous trek in Ladakh. The valley is also inhabited by some really rare species of animals such as blue sheep and Ibex. If you are lucky, you can even spot the snow leopard in the valley. The best time for a trek through this gorgeous valley would be between the months of May and September, when the temperatures are relatively comfortable.

Trimbakheswar Temple


A sacred site for the Hindus is the Trimbakeshwar Temple in Nashik, Maharashtra. It is one of the 12 jyotirlingas in the country according to Hinduism. However, even if you keep religion aside, the temple stands out as being one of the several beautiful places of India. Located by the Godavari River, the temple has some amazing architecture to feats your eyes on. Visit it for blessings, or just to admire its architectural beauty, either way, it is awesome.

Baratang Island


Baratang Island is one of the main islands of Andaman and Nicobar. Of all the beautiful places in India, this one of probably the most eclectic. The island is known for its mud volcanoes, and it is the only region in India where mud volcanoes are found. The volcanoes are active and are known to erupt sporadically. The island is also known for its marine life, much like the rest of Andaman and Nicobar. There are quite a few diving spots in the island where you can go explore the rich marine life of the region. Andaman islands are home to some really exotic marine life including rare sea turtles and species of fish.

Ujjayanta Palace



Another beautiful palace in the state of Tripura is the Ujjayanta Palace. The palace, located in the capital city of Agartala, was built by Maharaja Radha Manikya in 1901. The palace originally built by the king was located about 10 km away from the city of Agartala. However, after it was left in shambles by a strong earthquake, it was rebuilt in the center of the city in 1897. The palace covers an area of about 1 square kilometer and it is an important part of Tripura’s history and culture. While the architectural style of the palace is not too rich, it still makes for a wonderful visit.
