India is one of the most coveted spots for holiday destinations. Some come to her for the generous warmth, and some for the easy cool. If you travel in India often and are no stranger to the land, you may find yourself looking for new things. And when no India travel packages seem good enough, you will find yourself poring over maps and crossing destinations yourself. Well, if you can do with some help, here are some not-so-mainstream Indian delights.

Tarkali Beach, Maharashtra

You don’t have to go too far to enjoy the niche sports of snorkelling or scuba diving. The pristine water of this beach is banked by untouched shores. And when you are hungry, indulge yourself by sampling the traditional ‘Malvani’ cuisine in your own cottage.

Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh

Temples are almost always a part of all good Indian tours. But if you visit the oldest city in the country—Varanasi—look out for one of the few Mughal mosques. Known as ‘Alamgir’, this mosque echoes the architecture from the reign of Aurangzeb and reflects an era of religious coexistence.

Lepchajagat, West Bengal

Travel ...
... in India lets you experience its many different seasonal pleasures. This particular spot is ideal for trekking as it offers you an unhindered view of the part-black-part-white clouds ambling from one hill to the next.

Gokarna, Karnataka

India is also a land of surprising topographic marvels. This beach is an incredible manifestation of the Sanskrit primordial sound ‘Om’, hence - ‘Om Beach’. Gokarna will also introduce you to the dialects and food of the region, and let you experience an environment unpolluted by civilisation.

Wayanad, Kerala

Usually, India tours only cover the famous Kerala backwaters. However, Wayanad abounds in coffee plantations. One of the most affluent districts, it boasts of many estates—spices, tea and even cocoa.

Travel in India is enthralling because it is so vast and diverse. The plethora of cultures, wildlife, sceneries and the mere size of the country have the ability to amaze anyone. So, whether you get yourself good India travel packages or scour the regional maps, try to make your Indian tours unique each time you visit.
