The beautiful and fabled land of India is known for its extremes, history, and enormous diversity. The country is still one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and attracts backpackers, cultural and spiritual seekers, and just those in search of a good party.
As it is also the birthplace of yoga, it comes as no surprise that many travellers travel across the globe experience a yoga retreat in India. Love it or hate it, your trip to India is guaranteed to be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
I’ve been privileged to have spent many years in this incredible country and from my time here, these are my personal recommendations for the best and most beautiful places to visit in India…
1. Agra and Taj Mahal – most of the most famous attractions in India
Agra is an unmissable stop on your tour of India. There are many places of interest to a visitor in Agra, the most famous of course being the iconic and very beautiful Taj Mahal.
A UNESCO World Heritage site and an eternal symbol of love (it was built by an emperor in memory of his third wife).
The white-domed structure boasts delicately detailed interiors, tranquil gardens and a collection of other impressive buildings.
The Agra Fort is the sister monument of the Taj Mahal and also holds UNESCO heritage site status. The striking fort dates from the year 1000 but was later remodelled in the 1500s to be used as a palace.
Thirteen kilometres from the Agra Fort you will find Akbar’s Tomb, a stunning red-ochre sandstone tomb and another architectural masterpiece.
There are plenty of great places to stay here from grander hotels to awesome hostels and guest houses.
2. Shimla – a stunning city in the Himalayan foothills which is one of the best places to explore in India
A popular tourist destination located in the north-west Himalayas, gorgeous Shimla is also sometimes referred to as the βQueen of Hills.β
Its colourful colonial past is still evident today and the town is characterised by unusual neo-gothic buildings surrounded by thick forest and outstanding views, offering a very different feel to the rest of India.
βThe Mallβ is the main shopping street and the hub of the city where tourists and locals like to meet, shop and eat. This area also has a good number of clubs and bars great for those looking to step it up a gear.
The Christ Church is also worth a visit – itβs the second oldest church in northern India and its stained glass windows are designed in a distinctive style that you won’t find anywhere else.
Also donβt leave Shimla without visiting Jakhu Hill β the highest peak which is also home to many playful monkeys who hang out waiting to be fed. From Shimla, you can also visit a comparatively offbeat destination called Chai.
3. Goa – the famously beautiful beach and party resort
The famous idyllic party place should not be missed and it’s still one of the most popular places to visit in India as well as the most beautiful.
If you decide to take a trip, I recommend not leaving the islandβs coastal areas. Goa is the smallest state in India and has the most beautiful beaches by far – when youβre here youβll want to make the most of them.
Many refer to Goa as a tropical paradise and when you’re here enjoying the warm temperatures, clear turquoise water, and palm trees you’ll also probably agree.
If you time your visit around the Goa Carnival held every February youβll be treated to three days and nights of music, lights, dancers, and awesome food.
This is when the legendary King Momo takes over the state and the island becomes party central. Originally celebrated in the 1800s by locals only, now both tourists and locals come here to have a good time.
4. Mumbai – the bustling and vibrant city which is one of the most famous cities to visit in India
This place has a kind of beauty all of its own. Formally known as Bombay, Mumbai is the most populated city in India.
Noisy, frantic, and polluted, Mumbai is a melting pot of different cultures, religions, and wealth extremes. Even though the city is developing at a fast rate, unfortunately, youβll still see many scenes of poverty.
The city is also the birthplace of Indian cinema and there are many theatres to watch movies from all over the world (including the world’s largest IMAX dome theatre).
A visually impressive city Mumbai has a large metropolitan area comparable to the size of New York’s skyline and a fine but eclectic mix of colonial buildings, stylish bars, colourful bazaars, and shiny new malls. Finding something to do here would not be a problem.
5. Varanasi – an intriguing and beautiful city which is regarded as sacred by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains.
If you wanted to bottle the essence of Hindu spirituality, then Varanasi would be the place to do it. Walking along the ghats along the River Ganges in this Uttar Pradesh city is not an experience that any visitor ever forgets.
While this city is very much alive, it is also fundamentally about death and rebirth. Here you can watch public cremation ceremonies at the Ganges by day and witness the Hindu aarti ritual by night. Aarti is a part of puja (worship) where light is offered to the gods at the different ghats.
Holy men (known as sadhus) as well as babas and aghoris all spend their days down at the ghats. The sadhus are holy men, often swathed in orange, babas are so-called spiritual gurus and aghoris drink the blood of the dead and cover themselves in cremation ashes.
Not all of them have good intentions so be careful. It is common for holy men to be naked and covered in powder or ashes, some adorn their penises and even do tricks with them for tourists. Varanasi is certainly not for the faint-hearted.
6. The backwaters of Kerala – a network of brackish lagoons and a famous beauty spot to visit in India
The backwaters are a beautiful chain of lakes and lagoons along the Arabian sea coast and are a place in India that definitely shouldnβt be missed – they are considered to be the number one tourist destination in India.
Ferries here will take you anywhere and you can even hire a houseboat to stay in.
In the Kuttanad region of Alappuzha youβll also be treated to boat races, where you will also find snake boats that can hold up to a hundred oarsmen. Thousands of fans line the riverbanks and cheer on their favourite teams which makes for a great atmosphere.
There are dozens of villages and communities throughout this area which you can visit and get a real sense of everyday life and culture in this interesting place.
7. Hindu Kapaleeshwarar Temple – the temple’s towers were once the tallest structures in one of the oldest cities in India
Chennai and the state of Tamil Nadu is one of Indiaβs most spiritual regions, with many exquisite Hindu temples and ruins.
In the region of Mylapore in Chennai (formerly known as Madras) you can find the wonderful Hindu Kapaleeshwarar Temple. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva with an incredible rainbow-coloured gopuram (tower), with a large pool within its walls.
Nearby is the busy Marina beach, the second longest urban beach in the world, a hectic stretch of land complete with a market and its own lighthouse. At the nearby San Thome Cathedral, you can attend mass and visit the tomb of St Thomas the apostle that resides there.
8. Gokarna, Karnataka – a much less touristy alternative to Goa
Further up the coast from the famous tourist state of Goa is the much more understated Karnataka region, with Gokarna as the jewel in its crown.
Itβs relaxed vibe and stunning beaches has made it a popular place for yoga schools and retreats as well as backpackers. Pilgrims and visitors alike also love the Shivaratri and Ganesh Chaturthi festivals that are held here.
While Gokarna town beach is nothing to write home about, the nearby Kudle Beach is a beautiful place where people (and cows) play volleyball and sing until the sun goes down.
From there itβs a short walk to Om Beach, named as itβs shaped like the famous symbol. Further on is Small Hell Beach and Paradise Beach.
Every night travellers sleep under the stars on Paradise Beach, watching the moon when itβs bright, and the bioluminescence in the sea when there are clouds in the sky and its dark.
9. Jodhpur – the beautiful and incredible ‘Blue City’
Jodhpur in Rajasthan is known as the βBlue Cityβ as so many of this city’s buildings are painted in a Brahmin blue colour. Residents did this to distinguish themselves as Brahmins.
This isnβt the only history to be found here as itβs also home to the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort.
Inside one of Indiaβs largest forts is Maharaja Gaj Singh II’s personal collection of riches, and there are a lot of them, with over 15,000 treasures to see in total.
There are cultural performances that take place in various areas of the fort throughout the day. For those that want even more history, there is also the Umaid Bhawan Palace, the Jaswant Thada marble building, and the beautiful Mandore Gardens.
10. Old Silk Road Route – a network of ancient trade routes which connected the East and West
Indiaβs portion of the Silk Route that runs from Anatolia through China is the Great Royal Road.
It runs from Taxila near the Himalayas to the mouth of the Ganges on the other side of the country.
The main cities it goes through are Delhi, Allahabad, and Patna so itβs a real journey through North Indian life. Just like the many trade routes through Asia, Indiaβs old silk route has so much to offer, from amazing landscapes to the different cultures that you meet along the way.
11. Gadi Sagar – one of the most well-known tourist attractions in Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer is known as the βgolden cityβ for the way its yellow sandstone architecture blends in with the Thar Desert, almost as if it is trying to hide itself. The lifeline of this dry city is the Gadi Sagar.
This manmade lake has its own golden gate and is surrounded by temples, shrines, and ghats. Itβs also a beautiful place to watch the sunset against the haze of the desert reflected in the water.
The eagle-eyed will spot many migratory birds feeding at the lake, from spoonbills to black-winged stilts and domestic geese.
12. Pushkar, India – one of the most ancient cities of India and a stunning and hypnotic place to explore
The town of Pushkar is on the edge of the Thar Desert and built around a lake which is divided into ghats that are of great importance to Hindu pilgrims.
Itβs biggest draw is two festivals that run side-by-side, the Hindu ceremonies of Kartik Purnima and the accompanying camel festival. The camel market and festival were designed to encourage trade during the religious celebrations.
As well as the elaborately dressed camels, there are competitions like best mustache, sports matches and cultural shows too. Itβs an action-packed 8 days of entertainment that you wonβt ever forget.
In the evenings the temples host puja ceremonies and dance shows as well as the aartis down by the lake. Throughout the days, pilgrims bathe in the lake to cleanse after their long journey to the desert.
13. Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh – the magnificent and cultural epicenter of Arunachal Pradesh
Tawang is a town in Arunachal Pradesh that is right on the North-Eastern corner of the country, close to the border with Bhutan.
While Bhutan is very expensive to visit, here you can get a taste of the same incredible scenery for a much cheaper price
Itβs an important place for Buddhists as it was the birthplace of the 6th Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso. Many pilgrims come to pay their respects at the Tawang Monastery, the largest in India.
Nature lovers can enjoy the Gudpi Mountains, the Tawang Valley and the Madhuri Lake, all famous areas of beauty embedded in this incredible landscape.
14. Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab – a beautiful and spiritual place and the main attraction in the city of Amritsar
Amritsar is a city close to Indiaβs border with Pakistan that is the beating heart of Punjab as well as a principal place of worship for Sikhs.
The Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is considered the holiest shrine in Sikhism and draws people from all over the world to marvel and worship at it. Many tourists return to the temple after darkness falls to listen to the sounds of prayer emanating from it.
Everyone that visits the temple can sit down for a free meal, known as langar, which is served to 50,000 people by hundreds of volunteers every day.
The food is made in vats due to the scale of it, and each plate is washed 5 times afterwards. In the early evening, donβt miss the Wagah-Attari border ceremony.
This is an elaborate ceremony performed by the Indian and Pakistani military to show comradeship between the nations.
15. Leh, Ladakh – a beautiful city located on the crossroads of the historic “Silk Route”
To be in with a chance of seeing Indiaβs snow leopards, you need to travel up to Leh, in the Northwest corner of the country.
Whether you are looking for the elusive leopard or not, Ladakh is a jaw-dropping place to hike through its mountains and valleys.
The town of Leh has its own palace, as well as several Buddhist stupas and monasteries, making it a serene place to spend time at a high altitude.
16. Rishikesh – a spiritual yoga city made famous by the Beatles
The Beatles put Rishikesh on the map when they stayed at the Chaurasi Kutia Ashram, where they studied transcendental meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Nowadays the abandoned ashram is covered with incredible graffiti, making it a beautiful place to take photos.
Ever since their visit Rishikesh has become a hub for tourists seeking spiritual enlightenment and attending yoga retreats.
Down by the Ganges is an aarti at Parmarth Niketan Ashram every evening for pilgrims and tourists.
17. Akshardham Temple at night, Delhi – one of the most beautiful attractions to visti in India
Delhi may be one of the most chaotic cities in the world, but it also has some of the most incredible architecture in the world within its boundaries.
One of these unforgettable buildings is the stunning Akshardham Temple, and unlike the rest of them, it is best seen when darkness falls.
Its name means βthe divine abode of Godβ and not only does the pool around it reflect the sunset, but the carved stone is lit up to show off its grandeur.
Itβs located just down the river from the Red Fort and across the bridge from Humayunβs Tomb, both of which are UNESCO-heritage sites to combine in your trip.
18. Konkan Coast, Maharashtra – a little-developed shoreline running south from Mumbai all the way to Goa
The Konkan Coast runs from the city of Mumbai all the way down to Goa, with many serene beaches and interesting attractions along the way.
Some of the most beautiful beaches to visit are Alibaug, Kashid, Diveagar, Murud, Karde, and Ganpatipule.
Ganpatipule even has a Ganesh Temple located right on the beach. Winter is a great time to visit as there are dolphin sightings on a daily basis.
19. Nohkalikai Falls – the tallest and most beautiful plunge waterfall in India
At 335 metres, Nohkalikai Falls is Indiaβs highest plunge waterfall, which maybe isnβt surprising as itβs located close to Cherrapunji, one of the worldβs wettest places.
At the bottom of the dramatic falls is a pretty turquoise pool and itβs surrounded by exposed rock and forest which is typical of Meghalaya state.
There are steps that run parallel to it in order to view it from different angles. The area is a haven for waterfall lovers as they line the roads around the Route 5 highway.
20. Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds – Jaipur’s most distinctive and most stunning landmark to visit
While many cities are named for a variety of obscure reasons, Jaipur absolutely lives up to its title of the βpink cityβ.
While the pink city contains many beautiful buildings, like the City Palace and Jantar Mantar, the Hawa Mahal is the star of the show.
This magnificent five-storey frontage was built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh so that Royal ladies could watch the comings and goings of the city streets.
For another view of the Palace of Winds, get a coffee at one of the rooftop cafes that are opposite to it in order to fully appreciate the details of the windows. Just out of town are the famous yellow-coloured Amber Fort as well as the Jal Mahal, set in the Man Sagar Lake.
21. Auroville – an experimental township and a unique place to visit in India
Auroville is an amazing place. Itβs an experimental township of an international community.
Here people from all over the world come to live in peace, and βprogressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities.β
The sole purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity. In the centre of this town is βThe Matrimandirβ a huge gold sphere accompanied by ramps.
It was put there by the townβs founder as “a symbol of the Divine’s answer to man’s inspiration for perfection.” It even has its own solar power plant and inside is a spiral ramp that leads to a marble room where you can βfind consciousness.β
Surrounded by pristine beautiful gardens and peacefulness you wonβt find in many other places, in my opinion, this is one of the most interesting and beautiful places to visit in India.
22. Pondicherry – a gorgeous love child of the French and Indian cultures
Near Auroville, you’ll find its neighbour Pondicherry, one of the most famous and beautiful places in southern India for tourists. The city is full of colonial buildings, statues, churches, and temples.
I personally think the best areas here are Paradise Beach, The Auroville Beach, Serenity Beach and Promenade Beach.
It has the same purpose as Auroville which again gives the place a very peaceful vibe.
Youβll also find here many large interesting and spectacular churches dating from the early 1900s and Pondicherry should definitely be on your list of places to visit in India.
23. Kodaikanal – one of the most famous honeymoon destinations in India
In the Ghat mountains lies this beautiful and atmospheric town, which translated means βthe gift of the forest.β
Easily one of the most beautiful places to visit in India, Kodaikanal has many places of interest for travelers and tourists. One of which is the Kodaikanal lake which is a star-shaped man-made lake.
Here you can rent bicycles to ride around the shore. Just east of the lake is a 20-acre botanical garden, from here you can reach Coaker’s Walk, a 1-kilometre long pedestrian path that follows along the south of Kodai. Expect wooded slopes, rocky scenery, and beautiful waterfalls.
24. Gingee – one of the most magnificent citadels to explore in South India
Near the larger city area of Tiruvanamalai, you can find the village of Gingee. Although the village itself is pretty standard, it is home to the amazing Gingee Fort.
The fort, which is comprised of three astonishing and massive stone hills, offers some breath-taking views from the top of each hill.
The fort dates back to the 13th century and makes a great subject for anthropology and history buffs. If you want to see the best views, prepare for at least a 900-foot climb. Although rest assured, once you reach the top you won’t be disappointed.
25. Darjeeling – a town in India’s West Bengal state famous for tea growing
Darjeeling is a popular and stunning tourist town in the Indian State of West Bengal. Famous for its tea production and outstanding scenery, itβs often thought to be one of the most beautiful valleys in the world.
The lush green environment, cooling breeze and amazing views make an atmospheric and photogenic destination. In fact, Darjeeling is the only location in eastern India that attracts large numbers of tourists.
The more adventurous visitors come here for trekking and river rafting and many others just enjoy leisurely scenic walks taking in the extraordinary views.
It’s hard to mention all of India’s best places in a list so I’ll also give a special mention to the gorgeous Lake Palace of Udaipur, Kanha National Park (which was inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book), the incredible Ajanta Caves, bustling Delhi, the rich artistic culture of Jaipur, the scenic beauty of Kashmir and Bangalore which is otherwise known as the ‘Garden City.’ Enjoy this unique and beautiful country!

Being from Pondicherry, I am happy to see two locations (Auroville and Pondicherry) on your list. Both were totally deserved to be in the top 25 list. Hill stations like Ooty and Munnar should have been on the list, but overall a very good list.
Hawa Mahel and Jodhpur is great place to visit, while Shimla is best for summer season I was trying to find out the new place for this summer vacation. But after landing on this page I guess let’s go for Goa thanks a lot for covering this amazing list.
So, Andamans doesn’t even get a mention here???
Kashmir may be a heaven, but if there is a heaven 2.0 it is Andaman, Andaman, Andaman
Period.
Well, all the places that you have mentioned deserved to be there on this list. But I think hill stations like Dalhousie & Dharamshala, & valleys like Kashmir & Spiti should have been there in this list too.
Hello There,
you have mentioned all the best places to visit in India! normally you can not fit India in only 25 destinations..but if I would choose the best 25 then it might be the same, I guess. very proud and happy that you have Jaipur on your list, as I am from Jaipur and doing tours work here.
the nicely written article, keep it up, keep supporting the tourism.

All these places are really stunning. Ellora Caves,named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the largest rock-cut monastery-temple cave complexes in the world. There are over 100 caves, of which 34 are open to the public. These consist of 12 Buddhist caves, 17 Hindu, and 5 Jain caves. It is a beautiful place. You could add it in your already wonderful list.
A megalith carved out of one single rock, the Kailasa Temple, cave no.16 is considered one of the most remarkable cave temples in India because of its size, architecture, and sculpture. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavationβcarvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward.
Excellent writeup… Knowing about the offbeat places to go is always interesting as the touristy places have lost the charm of travelling.
India is such a beautiful & diverse country! And its gems are all over the vast country.I would recommend to plan visiting India area wise- the best would be:
Delhi -Agra-Rajasthan
Goa & Kerala- beaches & backwaters
These are the best places to visit in India. Last year, I had been visited in Rajasthan, it is a beautiful place and I love the desert rajasthan.
Thanks for such a Amazing post. India is very beautiful and peaceful place and i like it very much but you miss Rajasthan in your list. there are many forts and places.
wow, great post about India very helpful tips for tourists!
The accomodation suggestions are a good addition to the post. However, I feel like you’re missing out many places like Kashmir, Hyderabad and Varanasi.
yep bro there were more places like this
If it doesnt have Kashmir in its list. Its a worthwhile tour to India. Sad to see Kashmir is missing

Good to see that type of amazing and luxurious hotels. Now that Iβm married, I book everything in advance. All the pictures are beautiful. i love it.Thanks for sharing it. Keep up the interesting posts, we really enjoy reading your blog.
Thanks for sharing great information about India. India has many other places like Uttarakhand, Kashmir and it is not possible to include all best places in top ten list.
Good post. But, i think the list is incomplete. These are not only the the top 10 places to visit in India. There are also more interesting places in India to visit and explore. Hope you will update a new post by including all.
India is beautiful but more beautiful is Central India. If you arrive in india do not forget Central india like Orchha ,Khajuraho,Jabhalpur Ujjain and sanchi – if you are wild lover then you must visit Kanaha and Bandhavgarh National Park.
Isn’t it an ordeal to get to Bandhavgarh N P? From Mumbai or from Delhi?
What wildlife did you see?
Very informative article.
Truly amazing. Taj Mahal of Agra is my most favorite travel destination in India.
nice article and pics to promote your country india.. india is most beautiful asia
Last year, I’m glad I got the chance to travel to this mystical place. A place full of surprises. Places you must visit: New Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, Jaipur, and Mumbai. Why not take a safari tour on Rhantambore National Park.
Your trip to this marvelous place fill with spiritual experiences will be unforgettable.
People tend to miss out the North East of India and Calcutta, but it is off the beaten track, the people are very friendly and there are wonderful wildlife parks that are hardly visited.
Thanks for sharing the information. I love India, I went to Kerala recently and it was beautiful.
Very nice article with beautiful pics.
Yes,India is one of the Beautiful Country were u can find different Religion, Culture and lifestyles. apart from this difference there is the unity in the peoples of India.
Very nice article with beautiful pics!
Personally I found the Taj a bit disappointing. It’s nice, but there are other places, palaces and tombs that are equally nice or even better, IMHO.
I think Varanasi should be in the list, although I did not succeed to visit that yet.
Kashmir unfortunately still is not really safe.
And I would add Chandigarh, because of Nek Chand’s Rock Garden, a phenomena in itself.
Thanks for your comment!
Hi, after reading this remarkable post i am also happy to share
my know-how here with mates.
i like india.
Great Information … Definitely going to see a few of these places. Thank you for you effort.
VARANASI!! definitely a must! In Goa visit Anjuna and Arambol, while rest isn’t anything special, these two are worth of visiting, first one for party people, second one for part time hippies.
Mumbai is great – cool but totally crazy place!
An interesting and useful article.
Excellent pictures. But we think some important Tamilnadu Hill Stations is missing like Ooty, Kodaikanal
..Nice places n beautiful pictures, make us feel enjoy to see it. this world is created by a briliant idea. how happy they are given the opportunity to travel and visit that beautiful places
I truly surprised Kasmir is’nt in this list.Kasmir is the no.1 tourist destination in India.and i suggest ,if visitors comes to visit north-east region in India so must visit Kurseon and Siliguri city with Darjeeling.Siliguri is the biggest city in north bengal.
I agree with all of these!
I love your choices. I’m learning Hindi and my biggest dream is to go to India to really be able to practice, specially New Delhi, hopefully when my kids graduate from college I will be able to experience such an amazing country. Namaste
This is really beautiful article shows the beauty of India. There are many places in India to visit by tourists and foreigners.
Which let them to say “Incredible India!”

India is one of my “dream destinations” since I was in my 20s. So many things have come in between and my travels and work never gave me the chance. I hope I can still do this when the son is out of university because India really facinates me. Great post and photos.
Awesome Photos. I can’t wait to make it to Goa and Darjeeling. When do you thin is the best time of year to visit India?
Hey thanks your comment, we checked with Peter and the best time to visit is September-November and February to the middle of March.
Hi there,
Thanks for such a wonderful post. India is very beautiful place and i like it very much. Very interesting article with wonderful photos.

A great collection for sure. I’d also add Udaipur and Jodhpur to the mix. Both in Rajasthan in Northern India.
Great photos!
India is definitely on my list of must-see places so thanks for summing up the best places to visit. Will use it when I get there one day!
Great article. Darjeeling sounds a great place to visit with my camera.
An excellent article, sadly I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting India (yet) – This article makes me really want to go … very interesting.
