The country buzzes with oldest temples, luxurious palaces, intricately designed forts, monuments, serene monasteries, mighty snow mountains, mesmerizing beaches, backwaters, wildlife and a never-ending list of places that shall take a lifetime to visit.

Kerala

They call this state the ‘God's own’ and you shall understand the meaning when you visit the place. The flawless landscapes, calm backwaters, their rejuvenating massages, the mouth-watering food, countless number of spices and scenic hill stations and wildlife, are a few that makes the traveling a memorable one.

When in Kerala, you shouldn’t miss the experience of houseboat stay in the backwaters of Alleppey, the wildlife adventures at Periyar Sanctuary and Thekkady, the tea gardens of Munnar, the mystic Athirapilly waterfalls and the delicious aromatic Kerala food. A destination every traveler will fall in love with.

Kashmir

This enthralling beauty is heaven on earth and this place shall make you believe in love at first sight. The snow mountains, picturesque destinations and roadways and the vibrant gardens with fruits and flowers has made Kashmir the dream destination for honeymoon and family getaways.

The marvelous ride in the Dal lake, the adventurous activities at Sonmarg, Gulmarg, and the breath-taking valleys, monasteries and drive to the highest peak of Leh should be the things you must be doing when you visit this iconic destination of India.

Rajasthan

Though the scorching sun, sand and dry landscapes are the first things to pop into my mind about Rajasthan, this state has much more than deserts to offer their tourists. The extravagant forts and palaces in the ‘Pink City’ Jaipur, the intricate architecture of forts in Jaisalmer, the camel safari and sand dunes, the romantic lake city Udaipur, the spiritual tour across Pushkar, the authentic Rajasthani cuisine and majestic tigers at Ranthambore National park will make Rajasthan an enthralling destination of India.

You have so much to explore in the flamboyant and colorful state of Rajasthan that happens to be the richest city in terms of offering their tourists with unforgettable royal memories.
