Daman & Diu

If you’re planning to visit the party capital of the country, you must also know that Goa is immensely crowded and expensive during its peak season. Instead, you can plan a visit to Daman and Diu for a more relaxing and pocket-friendly vacation.

Chakrata

Which place is better than Manali to explore the enticing Himalayan mountain range? Chakrata, a cantonment town in the Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, is the ideal place for tourists looking for a calming getaway into the hills. The town is easily accessible from the National Capital Region, pocket-friendly and clean.

Sikkim

Ladakh, the scenic union territory surrounded by snow-clad mountains, is among the most popular tourist destinations in India. Owing to the numerous Bollywood movies like Jab Tak Hai Jaan and 3 Idiots, Ladakh has become a hotspot for tourists leading to over crowdedness and littering. In order to save money and spend a relaxing vacation with your friends and family, you must visit Sikkim in the north-east.

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve

Jim Corbett National Park is a sprawling wildlife sanctuary in Uttarakhand. Home to some of the most exotic species of flora and fauna, it is always buzzing with wildlife lovers. During the peak season, the hotels and resorts are quite expensive and crowded which may ruin your interest. On the other hand, Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve which is a lesser-known sanctuary in Maharashtra is equally enticing yet less crowded than Jim Corbett National Park.

Khimsar Village

The sunshine charm of Jaisalmer, the Golden City, attracts numerous tourists, poets and people from other creative fields. In the past few years, the city has seen a rapid increase in the footfall of travellers, making it a much-frequented travel destination. For those who wish to explore the magnificent Rajasthan can instead head to the village of Khimsar located between Bikaner and Jodhpur.

Tawang

McLeod Ganj, situated in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, is a scenic town that has numerous religious and natural sightseeing places that attract plenty of travellers every year. In the recent times, the number of tourists visiting McLeod has increased a lot causing over crowdedness and littering.

Mawlynnong

Blessed with the exceptional view of Mt. Kanchenjunga, Darjeeling is a popular tourist destination in India. Travellers visit the city for its stunning scenery, expansive tea estates and peaceful environs. However, like other popular tourist destinations, this place also suffers from the side effects of heavy tourist influx.
