3. The Kashmir Valley - Kashmir
This stunning valley is known locally as “Heaven on Earth”. It is located in the North of India, where the climate is milder. As a result, this valley is lush and green. It is also a pilgrim destination. Every year, thousands of Hindus visit the holy shrine of Amarnath. The view of Mt. Kailash from the shrine of Amarnath is breathtaking.
4. Lakshadweep – Union Territory
The Lakshadweep island group is another one of India’s paradises. This group of 12 atolls, 5 submerged banks, and 3 reefs is pristine. Lovers of nature and water sports are both well catered for in this area. It is one of the best places in India for sports fishing. Kadmat and Bangaram are both small and isolated, yet they are surprisingly easy to get to, so they are perfect destinations for tourists.
5. Ranthambore National Park - Sawai Madhopur - Rajasthan
Ranthambore National Park, a Northern India National Park is a Tiger sanctuary. In fact, the whole area has been virtually untouched by man for over 60 years. As well as being a home for a fascinating array of wildlife, including tigers, visitors can enjoy the 10th-century hilltop fort, which is particularly impressive at sunset.
There is also the lovely Ganesh Mandir temple to enjoy. Furthermore, the vast Padam Talao Lake, which is one of the many located in the park, is particularly beautiful when the water lilies are in bloom.
6. The Taj Mahal – Agra – Uttar Pradesh
Once seen, this iconic mausoleum is never forgotten. It is one of the most beautiful buildings on earth. Shah Jahan, a Mughal ruler, built it to honor his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who had died in childbirth.
It is hard to believe that this heart-stopping building was built during the mid-1600s. The design combines Persian, Central Asian, and Islamic architectural traditions and craftsmanship. Surprisingly, the inside is even more stunning than the exterior.
7. The Valley of Flowers – Uttarakhand
This beautiful, Western Himalayan, National Park is best known for its alpine flower meadows. The stunning and unique environment also supports many rare animals, including snow leopards, Asian black bears, and blue sheep.

9. Munnar – Kerala
Another great monsoon destination is the hill station of Munnar from June to September. During this time of the year, this stunning place somehow becomes even more enchanting. The hillsides become even lusher. In the mornings, mist gently wraps the hills and the rains feed the land and create huge seasonal waterfalls. As you would expect, at this time of the year trekking is very popular, especially those routes that take walkers through the area’s huge tea gardens.
