Travelling is a delight as you can break free from the monotony of routine life and go on an adventure or simply choose to relax on a vacation. Travelling also gives you time to bond with your family and is always favored. While international destinations beckon many, there are beautiful and adventurous places in India too which leave little to the imagination. In fact, in such a big country, there are various lesser known destinations which are a traveller’s delight. Here are 7 such destinations which promise to enthrall you with their beauty –
- Thoseghar Falls
A little wonder tucked away near the Konkan region of Maharashtra, Thoseghar Falls are often overlooked for the famous Lonavala and Khandala. However, these waterfalls have a sight of their own which would make you sit up and take notice. Home to numerous waterfalls, Thoseghar also has a waterfall with a height of 200 metres. Located about 20-25 kms from Satara, these waterfalls are a must visit in monsoons.
- Drass
Also called the ‘Gateway to Ladakh’, Drass is the second coldest place in the world where temperatures drop down to -60 degree Celsius and more. You can see snow covering every inch of the place. It is located in Jammu and Kashmir in its Kargil district.

How does a monastery resting on the folds of a steep mountain sound? That is where Phugtal monastery is located in Zanskar Valley in Ladakh.

India has its version of the Grand Canyons at Gandikota located on the river banks of Pennar in Andhra Pradesh. The Gandikota Gorge gives you a glimpse of the Grand Canyons and if that is not all you can also see a fort built in the 13th century.
