1. Padum, Jammu and Kashmir
Located in the Zanskar Valley of India, this beautiful destination is one of the most unexplored destinations in Ladakh. It is covered in snow for most of the year.

2. Kurseong, West Bengal
You must visit Kurseong in West Bengal for your next vacation. The picturesque hill station will take your heart away. What makes it even more special is that it is untouched by commercial tourism which makes it far less crowded. The British colonial structures, beautiful tea gardens and vast orchid meadows will make you want to settle in Kurseong.
3. Orchha, Madhya Pradesh

It is full of magnificent architectures inspired by them. The grand palace, exquisite temples and elegant cenotaphs embellished with colourful murals are all witnesses of its glorious era.
4. Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu
