Offbeat Places to Visit in India

Since the COVID 19, people have been staying at home, and doing their best to stay safe without giving in to their craving for wanderlust. Since the lockdown is being lifted slowly, people have started to plan out their vacations for the future. Soon, tourists will crowd Goa or Manali, the offbeat places.

Usually at such times, the places will get crazy expensive to accommodate tourist seasons and even become the hotspots for littering, destroying the natural beauty of the place.

Keeping the recent restrictions due to the pandemic in mind, it would be better if we check out the lesser known, non- crowded places in India that would be worth a visit to.

And we did the work for you so you just need to book your air tickets to India from us at unbelievably cheap airfare.

Read on to know where you can plan your travel to after booking a cheap ticket to India.

1) Daman & Diu

Daman & Diu is a very relaxing and pocket friendly vacation option as opposed to Goa, which is considerably more crowded and even more expensive during peak season.

It also serves as a romantic getaway for couples for their honeymoon due to its clean beaches and total tranquility. 

The dense foliage of palm groves and colonial architecture will steal your heart away with its serenity. Those looking for adventure can indulge themselves in exciting water sports, available in Daman & Diu.

Or if you want a conventional route, try horse riding on the beaches. You can explore the Moti Daman Fort or visit the Diu Museum while you’re at it.

2) Chakrata

Chakrata is a great alternative to Manali to explore the lofty Himalayan mountain range. It is a cantonment town in the Dehradun district of Uttarakhand.

The people who are looking for a calming getaway to the hills and mountains. It is easily accessible from the National Capital Region. Visit Chakrata from March to June, and experience the stillness of the soaring Himalayan range.

Adventure seekers can opt for camping and river rafting at Kanasar. You can go for trekking all the way to Tiger Falls, try your hand at bird watching at Deoban and exploring the Budher Caves.

3) Sikkim

While Ladakh boasts tremendously scenic vistas of snow-capped mountains and remains a popular hotspot for tourists, over-crowded tourists are to blame for litter strewn around the location.

If you’re planning for a relaxing vacation away from the crowd, with either your friends or family or even solo, and want it to be inexpensive, you need to visit Sikkim in north- east India.

  The state is overflowing with stunningly abundant greenery, Buddhist monasteries and expansive hills to provide you a truly serene getaway from the normal din of life.

4) Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve

Jim Corbett National Park is an extensive wildlife sanctuary in Uttarakhand, making it a popular destination for wildlife lovers of flora and fauna.

Since it is the abode of some of the most exotic species of wildlife, the rates of hotels and resorts spikes high during peak season and is brimming with bustling tourists. This can serve as a damper to your interest. 

Steer clear of the crowds and head to Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, a lesser known sanctuary located in Maharashtra.

It is equally, if not more alluring to max out your interest in surrounding yourself with simple wildlife, not tourists. Don’t forget to check out the Royal Bengal Tigers and indulge in a night safari while you’re there.

5) Khimsar Village

The Golden City of Jaisalmer is admired by tourists and creative people alike for its yellow sandstone architecture and extensive Jaisalmer Fort, buttressed by 99 bastions that dominate its skyline.

But it has seen a recent surge of tourists looking to explore the traditional side of Rajasthan. 

So, if you’re keen to explore the charms that Rajasthan has to offer without elbowing your way through jam packed crowds in tourist spots, you need to explore Khimsar Village, located between Bikaner and Jodhpur.

This stunning village has inexpensive restaurants, eateries and hotels since it is relatively lesser known. Opt for a camel safari or spot the black buck at Panchala Black Buck Reserve.
