From skiing in Kashmir to world-class diving in the Andaman Islands and the opportunity to visit hidden tribes around the country that rarely see tourists, India offers an endless array of adventure opportunities. India has everything. However, it appears most tourists in this country only want to visit the same overcrowded and overrated destinations.
India, the third largest country in Asia, is home to some of nature's most beautiful wonders, but most visitors stick to the same old haunts. The reason for this is a lack of knowledge about the hidden treasures. If you want to avoid a crowded destination full of tourist traps and extra costs, consider the following locations.
Hemis
Hemis is a beautiful place surrounded by snow-capped ranges all around. It is one of the lesser-known places on the Jammu and Kashmir map. Visit the Hemis Gompa or the Hemis National Park, which are home to the snow leopard. Allow your camera to have a good time here. Hemis is best visited between May and June. In the winter, temperatures can drop to -30 degrees Celsius.
Mokokchung
Mokokchung is one of Nagaland's most populous cities. The District Museum, Town Main Park, Unman Village, and Ao Village are the main tourist attractions. Longkhum, Langpangkong, Mopungchukit, and Chuchuyimlang are also in the district and may be of interest to visitors. The months of October to June are ideal for a visit. The sowing and harvesting festivals are colorful and appealing, so visiting during those times is a pleasurable experience.
Nubra Valley
This land of ethereal, timeless beauty, which appears to have stepped straight out of an Advanced Art book, is a wonder to behold. Nubra Valley is located on the Silk Route, approximately 140 kilometers from Leh. The rivers Shyok and Nubra run through the valley, adding to its beauty. This is the place to go if you want to be captivated by the wonders our country has to offer. Nubra Valley is best visited between June and October.
Talasari Beach
This is one of the few beaches in Odisha that has remained untouched by man or time. Take a two-day trip to Talasari beach in Odisha and relax in the freezing waters and pristine beaches. The best time to visit Talasari Beach is from October to March. Summers and monsoons should be avoided due to the hot and humid climate that Talasari experiences during these months.
Lonar
Lornar's quaint little town is huddled around the lake, formed by a meteorite that struck this spot 52,000 years ago. It is the world's only saltwater lake formed in the basaltic rock, making it a scientific hotspot. Lonar also has several temples, which add to the beauty and significance of the town. October to March are ideal for visiting this unusual Indian destination.
