Trending Locations

Varanasi

Uttar Pradesh, North India

  • Ancient ghats along the Ganges River
  • Morning boat rides during sunrise ceremonies
  • Labyrinthine old city with over 2,000 temples

Varanasi, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, pulses with spiritual energy along the sacred Ganges River. Dawn reveals a mesmerizing tableau as thousands gather at the ghats for ritual bathing and prayer, while evening aarti ceremonies illuminate the riverbanks with floating lamps and hypnotic chants. Behind the ghats, a maze of narrow lanes houses centuries-old temples, silk weavers practicing their ancient craft, and an intoxicating blend of life and death rituals that have remained largely unchanged for millennia.

Rajasthan's Golden Triangle

Northwest India

  • Amber Fort and pink-hued architecture of Jaipur
  • Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Agra
  • Old and New Delhi's contrasting landscapes

The Golden Triangle connects India's most iconic destinations in a perfect introduction to the country's royal heritage. Begin in Delhi, where Mughal monuments stand alongside colonial and modern architecture, then journey to Agra to witness the incomparable Taj Mahal. Complete the triangle in Jaipur, the 'Pink City,' where maharajas' palaces, astronomical observatories, and bustling bazaars showcase Rajasthan's regal splendor against a backdrop of desert landscapes and vibrant cultural traditions.

Kerala Backwaters

Kerala, South India

  • Overnight houseboat cruises
  • Lush tropical landscapes and paddy fields
  • Traditional Kathakali performances and Ayurvedic treatments

Kerala's emerald backwaters form a serene network of canals, lakes, and lagoons parallel to the Arabian Sea coast. Gliding through these tranquil waterways aboard a traditional kettuvallam (houseboat) offers glimpses into a timeless way of life—fishermen casting nets at dawn, women washing clothes at the water's edge, and children commuting to school by boat. This tropical paradise, known as 'God's Own Country,' complements its natural beauty with distinctive cultural traditions, sophisticated cuisine featuring fresh seafood and coconut, and wellness practices rooted in ancient Ayurvedic principles.

Ladakh

Jammu and Kashmir, Northern India

  • Dramatic Himalayan landscapes and high-altitude lakes
  • Buddhist monasteries perched on mountainsides
  • Adventure activities including trekking and river rafting

Often called 'Little Tibet,' Ladakh captivates with its otherworldly beauty—stark mountains in shades of brown, red, and purple rise dramatically above turquoise lakes and green oasis villages. This high-altitude desert region houses ancient Buddhist monasteries that seem to grow organically from cliff faces, their prayer flags fluttering against impossibly blue skies. Ladakh's unique culture blends Tibetan Buddhist traditions with influences from Central Asia, visible in everything from the distinctive architecture to the traditional music and dance performed at colorful festivals.

Goa

Western Coast, India

  • Palm-fringed beaches along the Arabian Sea
  • Portuguese colonial architecture and churches
  • Vibrant nightlife and seafood cuisine

India's smallest state delivers its most laid-back vibe, where Portuguese colonial heritage blends with Indian traditions along a spectacular coastline. Northern Goa buzzes with beach shacks, market stalls, and nightlife, while the southern stretches offer tranquil coves and luxury resorts. Beyond the beaches, discover whitewashed churches, spice plantations, and a distinctive cuisine that marries coconut, seafood, and chilies with Portuguese influences. Whether seeking yoga retreats, water sports, heritage walks, or simply hammock-bound relaxation, Goa's tropical charms offer the perfect counterpoint to India's more intense destinations.

Guidelines for Cultural Awareness

  • Remove shoes before entering temples, homes, and some businesses—look for shoes left outside or designated shoe racks as indicators.
  • Use your right hand for eating, giving, and receiving objects, as the left hand is traditionally considered unclean in Indian culture.
  • Dress modestly, especially at religious sites and in rural areas—women should cover shoulders and knees, while men should avoid shorts in temples.
  • Greet people with 'Namaste' (hands pressed together at chest level) rather than physical contact, particularly with the opposite gender or elders.
  • Ask permission before photographing people, especially during religious ceremonies or in tribal areas where photography may be sensitive.

Suggestions for Evening Activities

  • Attend a sunset Ganga Aarti ceremony in Varanasi or Haridwar, where priests perform elaborate rituals with fire and music along the riverbank.
  • Experience a Bollywood movie at an iconic theater like Mumbai's Art Deco Regal Cinema or Delhi's PVR Select Citywalk for a glimpse into India's vibrant film culture.
  • Visit Connaught Place in New Delhi or Park Street in Kolkata for upscale bars, live music venues, and rooftop lounges with panoramic city views.
  • Explore night markets like Delhi's Janpath, Mumbai's Colaba Causeway, or Goa's Arpora Night Market for shopping, street food, and local entertainment.
  • Attend a classical music or dance performance at venues like Mumbai's National Centre for the Performing Arts or Chennai's Music Academy to experience traditional art forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, or Carnatic music.
