Western India includes many popular destinations like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa. These four states have very diverse travel destinations. Yet, over a period of time, they have been stereotyped. Rajasthan is now known as the state of palaces and havellis. Gujarat, on the other hand, is popular for their forts and temples. Maharashtra is well known for select travel destinations like Mumbai, Matheran, Shirdi, Panchgani, etc. Goa is an international leisure beach destination. Yet, there is so much more to these states that mostly goes unnoticed. So, here are some unique yet exciting packages to these states.

Adventure travel to Rajasthan: This desert state has a beautiful yet rough terrain. You can enjoy several adventure sports around the cities. Step out of their palatial cities to see that the vast spread of desert offers the perfect atmosphere for thrill and fun. You can ride a camel. You can explore the desert in a jeep. You can explore the ethnic beauty of Rajasthan from a hot air balloon! You can even spend nights in deluxe desert camps and see the different shades of the day while enjoying a camel ...
... ride in the desert. After all this, you can finally reach the many ruins of ancient buildings and monuments strewn around small villages. This will be unlike anything you have ever seen – this will be Rajasthan in its true wholesome glory.

Nature travel to Gujarat: Gujarat flaunts mostly cultural tour packages with forts, holy shrines of all religions and Gujarat special step-wells. Yet, nature travel in this state offers a special surprise for many. With a marine national park and marine wildlife sanctuary, you can find 52 coral reef species, millions of polyps, 7 species of mangroves and 80 species of birds on these 42 islands in the Gulf of Kutch. When you travel to Gujarat, you are surprised to discover that it has quite a few waterfalls, 11 eco-camping sites and 22 wildlife sanctuaries! So, explore the wildlife and blissful lakes of this gorgeous state.

Trek travel in Maharashtra: Maharashtra’s forts are not as popular as the ones in Gujarat, Rajasthan or North India. But, lush mountains, slender waterfalls and footprints of a glorious history are still kept alive in the nooks and corners of the Western Ghats. You can trek up to many of these forts like Sindhudurg, Shivneri fort, Raigad, Pratap Gadh, Murud Janjira fort, Harishchandra Gadh and Chakan fort. These are challenging and historic forts that are blessed with natural beauty.

Architecture travel in Goa: When you travel to Goa, everyone thinks about the beaches, parties, pubs and carnivals. But, Goa also offers some excellent Portuguese architecture. The historic Portuguese influence is visible in its food, that afternoon siesta, the lifestyle and its architecture. You can explore the Se Cathedral, Basilica do Bom Jesus, the Casa Professa, Fort Aguada, etc.

While traditional attractions are always there, these off-beat holidays can change how you perceive the destinations. Enjoy these out-of-box experiences with the true passion for travel.
