1. Spiti

If you love mountains and clear skies then you will feel right at home in Spiti, which is also known as the Cold Desert Mountain Valley of India. This is the place where you will fall in love with India's landscape and realise that magic truly exists because to create such a magnificent landscape, one certainly must have used a pinch of magic.

The valleys, the numerous monasteries, and the cold climate makes it one of the most popular spots in India. So, if you wish to camp under the stars and observe a 360-degrees view of your surroundings then this is place to visit.

2. Jaisalmer

If you have always wanted to be transported to the magical land of Aladdin, then Jaisalmer should definitely be in your list of places to visit in India. Here, you would come across beautiful forts and palaces and a mesmerising market which would transport you instantly to the Arabian continent.

Also, camping in the desert and watching the sunset through the sand dunes cannot be missed when you are in this enchanting place.

3. Sikkim

Personally, Sikkim is one of my most favourite places in India because once you reach here, you will start feeling really calm and peaceful. Sikkim is a small state in India, which shares border with Bhutan, China, and Nepal. Here, you will encounter snow-clad mountains and a cool and fresh air which will make you feel quite lively. Trust me, Switzerland has nothing on Sikkim and the people are ever-so friendly.

If you really want to witness the charm and love of India then Sikkim should definitely be in your itinerary.

4. Kerala

Another place which shall always stay close to my heart is Kerala because I got to witness the most gorgeous sunsets here and saw a side of me which I never even knew existed. Kerala is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your surroundings while indulging in Yoga, massages, and delicious food. If you love sea food then you have to try the food here which is both amazing and super cheap.

Trust me, once you visit Kerala you will never want to go back to your country.

5. Hampi

Looking for some rich historical and cultural place in India to visit? Then, look no more because Hampi is just the spot for you. This site has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to the beautiful architectural buildings that have been found here recently. I know you won't believe me when I say that this city has been dug up recently, where you can say the palaces and temples built during the time of Krishnadevaraya, which is why you have to visit the city yourself to see the ongoing work.

If you are a history and archaeology buff then Hampi is the city that you should definitely see when you come to India.

6. Goa

Although Goa is extremely cliched and popular now, it still remains one of the best partying places in India. Here, you can enjoy the beach parties of just spend time with the locals. But, that's not all, you can also go here for hiking and trekking and experience the famous Dudhsagar Falls in all its glory.

7. Gokarna

While Gokarna is not as popular as Goa, it is certainly better for people who are looking for some quiet time on the beach and wish to rejuvenate themselves. Gokarna can be said the sister of Goa but while you get a lot of activity and partying in Goa, you get the calm and serenity in Gokarna.

8. Nagaland

One of the least explored places in India, Nagaland is not for the faint of hearts. If you truly want to experience the tribal side of India then you have to pay a visit to this gorgeous state.

10. Rann of Kutch

​One of the most mesmerising and unique places to visit in India is The Great Rann of Kutch, which is a salt desert going on for miles and miles.

Because I am not exaggerating when I say, here you will witness the most beautiful sunset ever.

The southern most tip of India from which you will see the unending Indian Ocean is Kanyakumari.
