SOME UNDERVALUED INDIAN DESTINATIONS
EVERY PASSIONATE TRAVELLER MUST VISIT
When it comes to diversity in the kind of destinations,
India lies somewhere lies somewhere at the top of the list. In fact, there are
so many destinations, that a lifetime is not enough to explore each one of
them. Where you choose to travel, depends totally on the kind of traveller you
are--if you are someone who likes to check out the popular tourist
destinations, then you are likely to have a handful of options only. But if you
are someone, who likes to take the road less travelled, you are always in the
lookout for destinations that give you the chance to explore and discover
things most people haven't.
We bring you a list of destinations that are underrated,
yet have plenty to offer to a traveller. Which one would you go to?
Osian village, Rajasthan
If you are planning to visit Rajasthan and feel that you are done with the same old forts and palaces of Jaipur, here's another part of the colourful state you must explore sometime. The Osian village is located in the Jodhpur district and acts as a pleasant surprise in the form of an oasis in the middle of the Thar desert. As a traveller, you would be amazed by the centuries of history and finesse in ancient architecture displayed by the heritage temples here, which were built between the 8th and 11th centuries.
Haflong, Assam
The only hill station in the verdant state of Assam is a place a traveller must never miss out on. A place known for soothing weather conditions and picturesque views around, haflong happens to be at the centre of the Dima Hasao district. In fact, when you visit the Haflong Lake, you would want to spend hours by its side soaking in the serenity around. If you are a foodie, don't miss out on the local liquor and a delicious local preparation of pork.
Tarkarli, Maharashtra
Beach lovers would understand that it's not always a nice feeling to be surrounded by too many people when you are at a beach. After all, you don't want the chatter of a crowd and the sight of waste at a beach you want to spend some quality time on. Thank God for Tarkarli, one of the most non-commercialised beaches in the country. Located in the Sindhudurg district in Maharashtra, the place is known for pristine waters and a beach that displays the best of natural beauty.
Chaukori, Uttarakhand
Most likely, you have never heard about this place. But this is one place where you can actually do a digital and mental detox. Chaukori is a quaint hamlet perched within the depths of the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. All you can do here is sit with a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy panoramic views of the majestic Panchachuli massif and other Himalayan ranges at the distance, while enjoying a soothing breeze pass by you at all times.
Lepchajagat, West Bengal
When you visit Darjeeling, the home of tea estates, try and squeeze out a day or two for the neighbouring village of Lepchajagat. Very few people know about this place--it's a small settlement on the way to Mirik from Darjeeling, and is quite easy to miss. Located at a distance of 19 km from Darjeeling, Lepchajagat is surrounded by lush green woods and offers unmatched views of the Kanchendzonga peak.
Dholavira, Gujarat
Easy to miss, yet hard to ignore--that's what Dholavira is. Located close to the popular tourist destination of Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, this is one destination where a traveller can explore some significant history of the human race. Believed to be larger than the Indus Valley Civilisation, the ruins of this place date back to the pre-historic times. If not anything, this place will make you think hard.
