While these thoughts were going on in my mind, the first thing to crop up in my head was the concern as to where will I go post lockdown. Will the environment be safe for me?. Since international travel is not possible and not recommended too in the current scenario we should contribute to our economy and the travel industry in India. There are tons of places unexplored thanks to India’s diversity that offers the best of everything around the world. From East to West. North to South. You can find something resembling the international beautiful locations within India itself.

 I have listed below the Top 7 Travel Destinations in India that I want to travel post lockdown. Which one are you looking forward to?

1. Kashmir:

Unlike what we hear, Kashmir is beautiful and safe. Just make sure you don’t visit while there is extreme political turmoil. You can read about the situation online via websites/social media. The people in Kashmir are extremely helpful, hospitable and the place is extremely beautiful. You see poor yet welcoming people while you travel to this heaven on Earth. You can click scenic pictures and use them as a travel wallpaper or as travel postcards to be sent to your friends and relatives.

Best Time to Visit Kashmir:

October to February: One of the best travel tips to you is go during Snowfall as you can do activities like Skiing, Gondola Riding and so much more. One can also travel in Summer and explore Srinagar, or go for nearby trekking ventures like the Great Lakes of the Himalayas.

2. Andaman (Travel Destinations in India):

Sightseeing, water sports, and beach excursion are some of the best travel activities to explore in Andaman. If you’re a beach baby, this is a must-visit for you. Experience being in an international destination while traveling to Andamans. Now that international travel is kind of risky, look for the best travel agency and opt for travel medical insurance.

November to May is the best time to travel to Andaman as the climate is quite pleasant. Monsoon season can be avoided, as due to heavy rains, high tides, and strong winds, exploring Andaman becomes difficult.

3. Kerala:

The land of coconut and backwaters is a beauty in itself. Alleppey, Munnar, Wayanad are some of the beautiful places in Kerala that one must explore. A short trip here would not be enough. Make sure you plan at least a week or two to explore all of its beauty. One of the best travel hacks to live here would be to find home-stays that host tourists.

Best Time to Visit Kerala:

November to February is the best time to explore the myriad facets of this place. One can experience the hill stations, beaches, and backwaters in the winters and live in God’s own country while listening to the epic travel stories.

4. Bir Billing:

The valley is one of the famous travel sites for undertaking adventurous activities like paragliding, hand-gliding, trekking, and camping. Not just this, the view and the place is absolutely scenic as it is in the foothills of the Himalayas.

If you have read travel magazines in Indian locations, Rishikesh will come across as a land of Temples, Ashrams, Cafes, Yoga, and everything nice. Staying here, even a week would feel like nothing.
