Trending Locations

Varanasi

Uttar Pradesh, North India

  • Ghats along the Ganges River
  • Ancient temples and spiritual ceremonies
  • Labyrinthine old city with vibrant markets

One of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, Varanasi is Hinduism's spiritual capital where life and death are celebrated openly along the sacred Ganges. Dawn boat rides reveal devotees performing rituals at the ghats, while evening aarti ceremonies illuminate the riverbanks with hundreds of floating lamps. Beyond its spiritual significance, Varanasi's narrow lanes house centuries-old silk workshops, classical music traditions, and exceptional street food, creating an intense sensory experience unlike anywhere else.

Jaipur

Rajasthan, Northwest India

  • Pink City architecture
  • Amber Fort and Palace complex
  • Traditional crafts and bazaars

The 'Pink City' of Jaipur forms one point of India's Golden Triangle and showcases Rajasthan's royal heritage through its magnificent architecture. The honey-colored Amber Fort overlooks the city, while downtown, the five-story Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) features 953 small windows designed for royal ladies to observe street festivals unseen. Jaipur's bazaars burst with textiles, jewelry, and pottery, while its contemporary scene includes rooftop restaurants, design boutiques, and innovative museums blending tradition with modernity.

Munnar

Kerala, South India

  • Emerald tea plantations
  • Eravikulam National Park
  • Misty mountain landscapes

Nestled in the Western Ghats, Munnar's undulating hills carpeted with emerald tea plantations offer a cool retreat from India's tropical heat. Once a summer resort for British colonial administrators, today it attracts nature lovers with its biodiversity, including the endangered Nilgiri tahr in Eravikulam National Park. Morning mist clings to the mountains, creating ethereal landscapes perfect for photography, while tea factory tours provide insight into the region's economic backbone and colonial history.

Rishikesh

Uttarakhand, North India

  • Yoga and meditation centers
  • Ganges River rafting
  • Beatles Ashram

Perched where the Ganges River emerges from the Himalayas, Rishikesh has evolved from a spiritual pilgrimage site to the 'Yoga Capital of the World.' International travelers flock to its ashrams and yoga schools seeking physical and spiritual transformation, while adventure enthusiasts enjoy white-water rafting and trekking in the surrounding mountains. The abandoned Beatles Ashram, where the band studied meditation in 1968, now features atmospheric ruins covered in spiritual graffiti art, symbolizing the town's enduring appeal to those seeking alternative lifestyles and self-discovery.

Hampi

Karnataka, South India

  • UNESCO World Heritage ruins
  • Boulder-strewn landscape
  • Tungabhadra River and coracle boats

The surreal landscape of Hampi, where massive boulders balance improbably across hills interspersed with 14th-century temple ruins, creates one of India's most photogenic archaeological sites. Once the capital of the mighty Vijayanagara Empire, today's Hampi juxtaposes ancient Hindu temples and royal structures against a laid-back backpacker scene. Sunrise climbs to Matanga Hill reveal the full splendor of this UNESCO site, while traditional coracle boat rides on the Tungabhadra River offer unique perspectives of monuments reflecting in the water.

Guidelines for Cultural Awareness

  • Remove shoes before entering temples, homes, and some shops – look for shoe racks or others' footwear outside as an indicator, and consider wearing slip-on shoes for convenience.
  • Use your right hand for eating, giving, and receiving objects, as the left hand is traditionally considered unclean. When eating with your hands (common with Indian cuisine), use only your right hand.
  • Dress modestly, especially at religious sites and in rural areas – women should cover shoulders and knees, while men should avoid shorts in temples. Carrying a lightweight scarf is useful for impromptu temple visits.
  • Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon, even in cosmopolitan cities. Holding hands may be acceptable, but kissing and embracing should be avoided in public spaces.
  • When visiting Sikh temples (gurdwaras), cover your head, remove shoes, and accept the offered prasad (blessed food) with both hands as a sign of respect. Many gurdwaras offer free meals (langar) to visitors regardless of faith.

Suggestions for Evening Activities

  • Experience a classical dance performance at Kamani Auditorium in Delhi or Natarani Amphitheatre in Ahmedabad, showcasing traditional forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, or Odissi in authentic settings.
  • Join a food walk through Old Delhi, Mumbai's Mohammed Ali Road, or Hyderabad's Charminar area to sample regional street food specialties illuminated by bustling night markets.
  • Attend a sunset ceremony (aarti) at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi or Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, where synchronized rituals with fire, flowers, and chanting create a mesmerizing spiritual experience.
  • Visit Hauz Khas Village in Delhi or Bandra in Mumbai for contemporary nightlife including rooftop lounges, microbreweries, and live music venues showcasing India's emerging independent music scene.
  • Take an evening heritage walk through illuminated monuments like Humayun's Tomb in Delhi or Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, which offer special night viewing hours with dramatic lighting that transforms these historical structures.
