Hello
Thank you for this post, with this post I got to know which place to visit in India.
I love my India. Now is the perfect time to visit Delhi. The weather is chill right now! Uttarakhand, Rishikesh is also a very great place to visit.
A few of my friends recently went to India and I recognize a few of these places from their list. Sounds like a beautiful country with rich history to visit!
I can’t believe I didn’t make it to India on my trip to Sri Lanka that was meant to pass by India. Thanks for this list cause I’ll use it as a guide for our next trip.
A trip to India is definitely on my bucketlist. It seems like such a unique location
There is so much to see and do in India. I can’t wait to be able to travel there. The history and culture and food fascinate me.
Kashmir is undoubtedly the most beautiful place in India. No wonder it is called ‘heaven on Earth’. Since I live in India I’ve been there twice and loved the scenic views.
I really want to see India with my own eyes. I will bookmark your article. Thanks for sharing this very informative article.
I haven’t been to India but I heard so many wonderful things about each region. It is hard to pick one region and tour it because the country is so beautiful and rich in history, culture, and nature!
When I go to visit in India I will visit New Delhi because I love structures and the best spot in India then I will visit the rest 🙂
This is really nice post. I really enjoyed reading it. Kashmir is my dream destination!
I definitely need to travel my own country a lot more 🙂 I’ve only covered 4 of these 10! Yikes!
You have added some really lovely additions to the list. I am an Indian and haven’t been to a lot of these places.
I’ve never been to India would love to go there once.
I have been to India three times and seen a lot of the North. It is such an amazing country! I would love to go to Kashmir but also to Assam, areas that are so off the beaten path.
India is on my list of travel destinations in 2021. This is a great summary of places to visit. Thanks!
Thank you for this post, so glad you like my country. I still have to visit the Sundarbans myself.
Varanasi seems like a place I’d love to go!
All of these locations seem awesome to visit, but the one that struck me the most is Aurangabad.
If I ever visit there, these locations will be on my list.
Great list! Already have some of these on our bucket list!
There are so many beautiful places to visit in India. I hope to spend some time over there soon.
This is so helpful and inclusive. Thank you for sharing!
