If you love traveling but don’t quite know what choices you have in terms of a holiday destination for this summer (or any time of the year), you’ve arrived at the right place. We’ve put together 10 holiday ideas for you that you’d absolutely love. Let’s take a look.

1. Find peace and quiet in Puducherry.

Pondy, as it’s affectionately called, is where you should head to if you’re looking to move away from the chaos of the big city to the peace and calm of the small town. Having been ruled by the French for centuries, it exhibits a largely French character, besides the local Tamil culture, in its architecture, food, language, culture, and lifestyle.

Hills that rise and fall, the generous cover of lush greenery, and tea plantations abound, Munnar is a place of magnificent beauty. Head out a few kilometers outside the town center and you’ll find yourself engulfed by the surrounding greenery and the misty mountains. Staying in a resort will be ideal in this region to soak in the natural beauty.

4. Visit the world-famous temple complex at Khajuraho.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site has many temples with glorious temple art carvings etched on the walls. It offers a trip back in time to about a thousand years ago. Besides visiting the temples, you can spend some time at the couple of lakes in the region. Boating is a popular option.

7. Train in yoga or quench your thirst for thrill at Rishikesh.

The Yoga Capital of the World, Rishikesh attracts a large number of international tourists who flock to this ‘Gateway to the Ganges’ in search of spiritual awakening. Yoga and meditation are taught widely across the region, and so the ashrams here are a popular attraction. White water rafting, backpacking, and trekking are wildly popular too.

8. Go boating in the lake at Nainital.

Enveloping the deep volcanic lake Naini, and situated amidst the forested hills of Uttarakhand, is Nainital. Absorbing this place’s natural beauty and soaking up the peace and quiet takes up most of the time here, as no amount of time spent here is enough. With whatever leftover time you find in Nainital, you can shop at the Tibetan market and try out the tasty momos.

9. Take a walk down Mall Road at Shimla.

India’s love affair with Shimla is a lasting one. Previously the summer capital of British India, it’s been the setting for many ads, films, and music videos. The long and winding Mall Road, which is surrounded by steep forested hills running down, is the primary attraction. You can also board a toy train from Kalka to Shimla to up the joy quotient while holidaying here.

Ladakh is a spectacular mountainous region that’s the holy grail for any traveler in India. Its beauty in the form of the magical, undulating Himalayan mountains takes your breath away. And visiting the many Buddhist monasteries dotting the mountains becomes an experience of a lifetime. If you could take just one trip, it would certainly have to be this.
