The hippie culture has been rapidly growing in the world. Popularised by the Beatles’ trip to Rishikesh in India, the hippie trail here became the road to liberation for many such people. Here are a few hippie places in India where one can enjoy their carefree way of life:

Goa

The popular tourist destination in India and also the party capital, Goa is also known for its hippie culture.
