Attraction
Tirthan Valley, Himachal Pradesh
A small fall a short walk through deodar from the village, on a path that gets slippery in the rain. Ten minutes each way, and busy through the afternoon.
Experience
Old Manali, Himachal Pradesh
A short scenic hike from Old Manali through orchards and forest to a waterfall with valley views.
Kasar Devi (Almora), Uttarakhand
An ancient hilltop temple set in a zone known locally for an unusual geomagnetic field.
Food
Kasol, Himachal Pradesh
The buzzing main-market strip famous for Israeli and global backpacker food, bakeries and bonfire lounges.
Kausani, Uttarakhand
A scenic organic tea garden where visitors can walk the rows and buy fresh Kumaon tea.
Loktak Lake, Manipur
The world's only floating national park, last refuge of the rare brow-antlered Sangai deer.
Viewpoint
Kodachadri, Karnataka
The grassland summit with the Sarvajna Peetha shrine and panoramic cloud-sea sunrise views.
Tosh, Himachal Pradesh
A short, scenic uphill trek from Tosh to the meadow hamlet of Kutla, popular for camping.
Majuli, Assam
Centuries-old Neo-Vaishnavite monasteries preserving dance, chanting and manuscript traditions.
Dawki & Mawlynnong, Meghalaya
A bamboo viewing tower in Asia's cleanest village, overlooking the plains of Bangladesh.
Mawsynram & Nongriat Root Bridges, Meghalaya
Limestone caves near the world's wettest village.
Chikmagalur, Karnataka
Karnataka's highest peak, a popular sunrise trek with sweeping Western Ghats views.
The cobbled lane of German bakeries, music cafes and hostels that defines the village.
Rocky banks along a fast, very cold river, loud enough that you cannot hold a conversation beside it. Do not swim — the Parvati has a bad record and the current is far stronger than it looks.
Shillong, Meghalaya
The buzzing market and cafe districts at the heart of Shillong's food and music scene.
Pondicherry (Puducherry), Puducherry
The seafront promenade, a popular spot for morning walks and sunrise by the Bay of Bengal.
Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), Andaman & Nicobar Islands
A long west-facing crescent with nothing built behind it, which is why it photographs the way it does. Lifeguards work set hours and the flags are worth obeying. Sunset is the busy hour.
The monastery famous for crafting traditional Assamese masks used in ritual theatre.
A hill island in the middle of the lake with a rest house on top, and the one place you can see the scale of the phumdi rings from above. Causeway in, then a short climb.
Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh
About five kilometres of level forest walking from Jalori Pass, through old oak. There is a small temple to Budhi Nagin at the water and a tea stall on the way. Snow shuts the pass in winter.
Arambol Beach, Goa
A freshwater lagoon just behind the beach, popular for a dip after the sea.
The upper edge of the village, looking up the Parvati to the glaciers at its head. Tosh is the last road head in the valley and the walk out to the view takes about fifteen minutes.
McLeodganj & Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh
A popular day or overnight trek to a ridge with panoramic Dhauladhar views, often camped under the stars.
The Dalai Lama's main temple and monastery complex, the spiritual centre of McLeodganj.
