Someone who is passionate about travelling would love to be on the move all the time. Unfortunately, that is not always possible, thanks to a busy professional life, and lack of company given by friends. That's where these online travel communities come to the rescue -- connecting you with people who share the same wanderlust as you do .

With over 1.5 lakh members, India Mike is one of the largest online travel communities in the country. Members include real travellers who regularly post journal entries, articles and photographs, sharing their personal travelling experiences.

The best new hotels in India: 2024 Hot List

By Condé Nast Traveller

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List, our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. This year's best new hotels in India include a beautiful safari camp, a Gangtok hotel with stunning Kanchenjunga views and a vibrant 10-bedroom garden retreat in the Himalayas. Here are the best new hotels in India.

Click here for the best new hotels in the world: Hot List 2024

JW Marriott Goa

Just off a busy corner packed with bars and beachwear shops in Goa’s Vagator is a little oasis of green and calm, perfectly suited for your next holiday. A spanking new 151-key property, done up with muted wooden panelling, intricate glassware chandeliers, water fountains and mother-of-pearl detailing, JW Marriott Goa quietly announces its location via its understated design. Located along a blue-green coastline and minutes away from Chapora Fort and Vagator beach, the hotel offers up idyllic backdrops for those family albums. The hotel offers a range of plush suite options and comfy rooms with attached balconies and all the latest mod cons, including free-standing tubs to soak in. Families can check into the adjoining suites, which allow guests to swim across via the private plunge pool that connects the rooms from the outside. Treat yourself to holistic treatments at Spa by JW, which features Turkish and Moroccan hammams. If you’re interested in therapy of the culinary kind, you can head to JW Kitchen, the all-day restaurant that serves a range of global cuisine and dishes from across the length and breadth of the country. Think Rajasthani thalis ; buzith chaman, a Kashmiri cottage cheese delicacy; Amritsari chole; and, of course, xacuti, caldeen, and cafreal. At Água Bar and Café—perched atop the hotel overlooking the infinity pool—enjoy signature cocktails and tuck into the ‘all things avocado’ section of the menu, dedicated to a range of toasts and sandwiches that star Insta-friendly food. The wide selection of nibbles, finger foods and heartier mains are ideal to take you from sunrise to sunset by the pool.For those looking to bring in a big birthday or host a celebration, pick from the 4,607-square-feet Grande Salão, an elegant ballroom with an outdoor section or the terrace of the hotel from where you can look out onto the shimmering sea. Doubles from Rs 19,950*; website —Smitha Menon

Taj Guras Kutir Resort & Spa, Gangtok

The one thing you should wish for before you visit Taj Guras Kutir Resort & Spa, Gangtok is clear skies—all-important for the hotel’s USP: views of Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest mountain, from every room. The property is set on the hill slopes of Pangthang forest, about 20 minutes from Gangtok, on land leased from Sikkim’s former prince, filled with Guras or rhododendron, the state plant. It is also all over the menu—from a colourful salad to the Guras Avenue cocktail with gin, pears, and the flower. The 69 rooms all have mountain views and the presidential suite comes with a pantry and butler. Only 2.8 acres of the 15 acres have been built upon and the rest is nature, with a waterfall where you can dip your feet. Here, I don’t need to go to a viewpoint. My king-sized bed itself is one. You can run on the treadmill at the gym, sit in the jacuzzi , get a couples massage at the spa, all with Kanchenjunga for company. But it does its best to offer more than the mountain. The front doors open onto a walkway lit by giant flaming cauldrons at night. The food has a local touch at Machan, with dishes like bhuteko bhaat, thukpa, and tingmo. This part of the world loves its noodles and momos, so Taj has brought its Asian specialty restaurant Soi & Sake. The curated décor—from the books in the lobby to the artwork over my bed—gives the hotel a curious intimacy. And of course, everything just feels better with a Kanchenjunga view. Doubles from about Rs 29,000*; website —Sandip Roy

The Leela Ashtamudi, A Raviz Hotel

Along a southern braid of the off-radar Ashtamudi Lake, two hours from Thiruvananthapuram airport, lies a gloriously secluded 93-key tropical getaway— The Leela Ashtamudi, A Raviz Hotel . In taking over the management of the long-standing Raviz property, The Leela makes its second foray into Kerala. Set within five lush acres of coconut palms, bamboo, and mango trees, it spreads across the Heritage and Tower wings, private pool villas, and two traditional, 200-year-old tharavadu cottages—wooden ancestral homes transported as is from Erattupetta and Anchal. The rooms offer lake views and cosy nooks to watch life play out—even the breezy lobby opens right onto the lake. An ode to Kerala in every aspect, the property’s sloping tiled roofs, grand pillars, and waterfront verandah are inspired by the Nalukettu style of architecture. Evenings bring with them a plethora of options: opt for a Mohiniyattam or Kuchipudi performance on the property or cruise through the lake on a houseboat under a sky painted golden by the setting sun. All-day restaurant Keraleeyam offers global and Indian staples, but the local cuisine is the highlight: coconut-loaded beef roast, a tangy raw mango prawn curry, and a snooze-inducing sadya, prepared for special occasions and served on a banana leaf. It’s impossible to think of dinner after a sadya, but you must, because the dinner-only restaurant Raanthal showcases the lake’s fresh catch. And the star of the show is the Fish Nirvana—a vibrant yellow coconut-infused kingfish curry cooked and served in a banana leaf alongside hot appams. Traditional Ayurvedic therapies are on offer at the Favourite Kerala Ayurveda and Spa, where treatment rooms offer magnificent views of the lake. If the expert massage doesn’t lull you into a stupor, watching the ripples on the water’s surface most definitely will. Doubles from about Rs 8,300*; website —Malavika Bhattacharya

Sitara Himalaya, Himachal Pradesh

Ever the creative, Anita Lal, iconic lifestyle brand Good Earth’s founder, has channelled her alchemist’s heart into a 10-bedroom garden retreat immersed in the spiritual magnitude of the Himalayas. Located at an altitude of 8,200 feet, 13 kilometres from Manali, on the way to Lahaul and Spiti, Sitara Himalaya is a celebration of Indian spirit with a global outlook. The splendour of the interiors is immediate—Tibetan rugs, ornamental blue and white china, bold brass work, hand-painted murals of mountain passes and hummingbirds, the earthy smell of juniper berry incense. Bedrooms are covered in hand-spun Banarasi silk wallpaper depicting a sacred Buddhist motif of a Himalayan cloud. Opening the curtains to a view of snow-capped peaks is an immediate uplift. Don’t expect room service menus, mini-bars, or TVs. There, however, is a dedicated library space, painted in teal and sky blue with red accents in homage to Buddhist monasteries. Food follows a journey through the Himalayan ranges: tandoori delicacies from the Khyber, decadent wazwan from Jammu & Kashmir, Anglo-Indian dishes from the colonial hill stations, the dham from Himachal and steamed momos from Ladakh. Sitara Himalaya can mould itself to guests’ needs—a solitary trek, a picnic, or dining followed by in-house sutradhar, Navarino Narah, playing his guitar. For a well-being retreat, head to the Svasthi area, set at the highest point of the property. The hot water plunge pool is scented with Himalayan Deodar; the infrared sauna, with walls made of bricks of Himalayan salts, relaxes the central nervous system. Therapies include a breathwork, sound bowl healing, reiki, and human touch centred on ancient marma massage. Sitara Himalaya offers a dance of colour, textiles, and texture, but it is also a catalyst for revelations and good conversations. My advice? Don’t hold back. Doubles from Rs 90,000* for a minimum three-night stay; website —Daisy Finer

InterContinental Jaipur Tonk Road

The sprawling façade of the property sumptuously reveals itself at the end of a 20 minute-drive from the Jaipur airport through the industrial suburb of Sitapura. Despite being an hour away from the city centre, the snazzy 218-key hotel encapsulates the essence of the Pink City—from the bougainvillea-fringed periphery and the magenta stole draped around me upon arrival to the rose-hued chocolate shaped like Hawa Mahal in my modish one-bedroom suite. Even the thikri mirrorwork adorning the wall behind my bed echoes Amber Fort’s grandeur and reminds me exactly where I am. This also extends to its kitchens: Socorro, its global cuisine restaurant, whips up a mean Rajasthani thali, complete with a hearty masala baati-panchmel dal duo; zingy laal maas with the most tender mutton, brought in from Jaisalmer for its intense flavour; a curd-based creamy murgh Jodhpuri ; syrupy malpuas; and more. While The Royal Root spotlights regal Awadhi and Rajasthani flavours with a side of live classical music, House of Han hits the right Oriental note. Curated trips offer a crash course into regional craft like block printing and the city’s dying art of blue pottery in a local factory—the genial owner even promises to deliver the coasters I paint straight to my home once ready. Recently rebranded from Crowne Plaza, the first InterContinental in north India boasts enhanced interiors, replete with gold accents, and services. The small breakfast bag packed for an early-morning flight stuffed with freshly baked croissants, muffins, and fruits show that the little things matter. InterContinental Jaipur Tonk Road strikes a balance between Rajasthani hospitality and world-class excellence. Doubles from about Rs 14,200*; website —Sneha Kanchan

Brij Anayra, Dharamshala

Before the Brij scooped up this 161-year-old tea estate in lower Dharamshala , it used to be White Haven, one-time resting place of weary English earls and viceroys. The 10-acre space retains all of its Raj regalia. Twelve massive rooms, carved into three blocks of a green-tiled colonial cottage complex, running along a fully functioning tea garden. Interiors drip with dark timber, dim lamps, and dainty furnishings. The Viceroy Block is the poshest with grand four-posters, dining alcoves, antique secretaires, armoury displays, and vintage watercolours, several of them painted by the lords and ladies. What elevates this discreet elegance are the down-home touches. Thukpas and momos arrive on demand, or a Himachali dham spread of khatte channe and a madra of your choice, is as easily delivered. Outdoorsy types can roam the extensive grounds, flitting from hibiscus to peaches to junipers, or head uphill for day-long jaunts to McLeodganj or Dharamkot, nearly 30-40 minutes by road. But why go anywhere when the daybed’s billowing drapes pull back on the Dhauladhar’s white-tipped majesty all along? Doubles from about Rs 15,000*; website —Lakshmi Sankaran

TUTC Sawai Shivir, Ranthambore

Our days at the safari camp start with birdcall and end with us perking our ears to distant howling of jackals marking their dominion around us. The 16-acre campsite of The Ultimate Travelling Camp (TUTC) Sawai Shivir , the decade-old glamping brand’s newest property, is set among farmlands. An asymmetrical pool overlooks a crater that sounds like an ambitious plan: an on-site waterhole with its own ecosystem. The camp’s furnishings and artworks are sourced from TUTC’s locations like Thiksey, Kohima, and Bandhavgarh. The lounge tent’s roof is embroidered by a family in Leh and wooden stools are made in Nagaland from fallen trees. In the nine suite tents and one presidential suite tent, well-appointed bedrooms have air conditioners for the hot days and heaters for the cool nights. Behind each bedroom is a wooden-floored bathroom and a dressing room. Meals are discussed with guests but there is room for spontaneity, as they whip up local delicacies like ash-cooked baati and dal with churma and jungli murgh straight from a pot on a sigdi by the campfire. One of the days, after a safari , therapist Archana insisted we get a massage. As she moved her fingers through my hair, and across my scalp, she said I must let the oil seep in for at least half an hour. This glamping life, it asks a lot of you. Suite tents from Rs 80,000*; website —Roshni Bajaj Sanghvi

Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur

Breakfast by the lake, yoga under the stars, bird watching, nature hikes, outdoor movie screenings—no demand is too high at Mementos by ITC Hotels . The hotel, which is the first under ITC’s Mementos brand, promises mental souvenirs you’ll be tapping into days after your vacation. The hotel is situated 50 minutes from central Udaipur, but therein lies its charm. It’s a perfect alternative for travellers looking to spend time in the countryside, away from the thick of the throng yet within easy access of the historic centre. The 117 villas and suites start from 500 square feet and, depending on the category, come with either terraces, gardens, private plunge pools, or all of the above. All rooms offer a view—some overlook the valley, while others the lake. They are sumptuously decorated with golden accents simmered by a muted colour palette. Some bathrooms come with Victorian-style bathtubs that sit under sunroofs or the warm glow of a chandelier. For meals, there’s the ITC signature Royal Vega, where your silver thali gleams with recipes from the kitchens of maharajas of the past. At Kebabs & Kurries, feast on perennial favourites such as galouti kebabs, dal Bukhara, and nihari. But before you settle down in one of these restaurants, note that sunset drinks are de rigueur by the infinity pool at the Rock Bar. Doubles from Rs 31,254*; website —Shradha Shahani

Moxy Bengaluru Airport Prestige Tech Cloud

Home to the country’s best-known start-ups and a whopping 11 of India’s Top 50 Restaurants , Bengaluru carries with it a happy, easy-going spirit. It’s no surprise then that the city became the first home in India of Marriott’s Moxy Hotels, a brand that pegs itself on cool. Located about 15 minutes from the airport, the no-frills Moxy Bengaluru Airport Prestige Tech Cloud promises its guests a unique experience. Instead of a hotel lobby and a front desk, you are greeted by an open-plan floor where the bar, game room, lounge, restaurant, and co-working space blend into each other. The Moxy Bar, which also doubles up as a front desk, makes it convenient to offer you a welcome cocktail at check-in. If the lobby floor looks like Social and WeWork hooked up had a baby, the rooms are reminiscent of an IKEA catalogue. You wouldn’t be off the mark since Moxy was launched in partnership with the Swedish furniture brand. You are also nudged to do some things by yourself. This doesn’t mean you’ll be doing your own bed but you will most likely have to call in for that ironing board because not all rooms have one. Keeping with the young vibe, the minimalist rooms are stripped of wardrobes, writing desks, and cable TV. Wooden clothes pegs replace the wardrobe, a foldable wooden coffee table replaces the desk, and there’s a Smart TV to mirror your personal device screen. The workaholics can choose to work from anywhere, including at the island bar while sipping cocktails. The food menu includes the regular staples but also adapts to the local palate. Naans are reimagined as flat breads, topped with locally sourced burrata, or fresh mushrooms. The signature baos, topped with Andhra spices, too, are a nod to the local favourite. Among the other offerings at Moxy Bengaluru are conference rooms with bean bags and ping pong tables upon request. It is easy to label Moxy Bengaluru as a hotel for millennials and Gen Z. But you are constantly reminded that it is for ‘young at heart’. Doubles from Rs11,270*; website —Abhishek Mande Bhot

Ronil Goa—a JdV by Hyatt Hotel

Ronil Goa, a JdV by Hyatt property, is a new boutique resort in Calangute that is an unlikely bridge between the old laid-back Goa and the new buzzing one. Once a 125-room, budget-friendly hotel, the property, which goes back over 35 years, is now a 135-room JdV (short for joie de vivre) by Hyatt resort this year—the first such Hyatt property in India and Southwest Asia. Its entry on the Calangute-Baga Road is easy to miss, but once inside, the resort unfolds into two separate blocks, divided by two pools and the in-house restaurant. In true Goa fashion, I’m welcomed with a coffee -rum shot, an apt teaser of the resort’s energy. Check-in is not at the reception, but at the lobby bar Patrão’s, which is open 24/7. The heart of this property is “the hub”, the central area featuring a pool with a swim-up bar, cabanas, and sunken beds, and a wood-fired oven, where music plays almost all day and night. Rooms in this block are for those craving a high-energy holiday. The pool is open till 2am for spontaneous midnight swims. If you prefer a quieter holiday, book a room in the second block with the property’s second “tranquil” pool, which is open until 10pm and meant for a relaxed dip. Rooms feature several smart design elements—a sliding mirror which acts as a minimal door to the wardrobe, walls with monotone textures in place of the standard abstract paintings found in hotel rooms, door handles shaped like seashells, and more. Night owls can crack open the complimentary Maka Di lager in the minibar. I could easily get used to the prawn curry, rice, kismoor, and eggplant pickle at the Ronil Bistro for lunch, and the fresh, fluffy sourdough pizzas by the pool for dinner. Don't skip the ice cream, which comes from Goa’s well-loved Cream Choc. Ronil Goa is ideal for travelling with friends as the property can arrange bonfires, barbecues, floating breakfasts, and poolside picnics. As new as the property is, it unknowingly holds within it a sense of nostalgia. While the staff can arrange for bar crawls and Chapora Fort visits, if you are visiting to recreate old memories, you could just stay within the nostalgic cocoon that Ronil Goa offers. Doubles from Rs16,200*; website —Arundhati Ail

In a shiny post-pandemic Goa, Ashvem feels like a throwback to a slower and sleepier time. KAIĀ Goa , a new oceanfront boutique resort, across the tiny, white-washed Holy Cross Chapel, is right at the edge of Ashvem Beach. KAIĀ’s intuitive design immediately channels tropical sunshine and beach vibes with a profusion of cane, rattan, jute, and other natural fabrics. On-site coconut palms and trees were incorporated into an organic design with minimal use of intrusive construction material. The resort extends across two floors with rooms built around sprawling common areas. With high roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows, these rooms open up to sweeping views of the sea and mangroves. Minimalist design crafted from locally sourced bamboo, stone, and wood, along with jute curtains and statement light fixtures make you want to lounge about in your PJs. KAIĀ also has a four-bedroom stand-alone villa right across the road for larger groups. In the light-filled space at the edge of quiet backwaters with a sliver of beach , the large glass windows serve as a frame for the spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The food is designed by chef Mohit Savargaonkar and his philosophy translates into a menu that traverses the world and back again with dishes that are high on taste and good for the gut. There are all-day breakfast offerings like the spectacular Turkish Eggs—poached eggs on a base of hung curd and chilli oil to be scooped up with freshly made poiee—and pesarattu with moringa sambhar. For the mains, pick from hearty Mexican, Mediterranean, Indonesian , classic European fare, or indulge in flavours of Malabar cooking with Kerala Kozhi Curry and an Alleppey Prawn Curry. KAIĀ’s bar programme presents craft infusions as well as a fresh tropical spin—like the Man … Gone Going with a raw mango tequila, spiced ripe mango and mango leaf liqueur, and a spiced rim with a mango leaf garnish—that makes the drinks fun and breezy. The island bar is a design win with an extended bamboo spiral roof open to the skies and seating around the counter that encourages conversations. In case you need more, there are a bunch of curated activities like village walks to art sessions, book readings, and more. KAIĀ celebrates the slow life and the lack of an agenda, a way of life that is becoming increasingly rare in Goa. Doubles from Rs 8,000*; website —Diya Kohli

15 Best Places to Visit in India, According to Travel Experts

F rom the alpine meadows of Kashmir to the palm-fringed beaches of Goa, these are some of the subcontinent’s most enchanting destinations.

As a former longtime Delhiite and frequent traveler to India, people often ask me what the country is like. I never know how to respond, for trying to sum up a nation as vast and diverse as India feels impossible. So, instead, I asked a few experts for their insights.

“If you visit India, you feel you have visited several countries, as every part is different,” says Mohd Shafi Billo, an inbound tour operator who specializes in helping international travelers plan their trips to the country. “It’s an exceptional destination, thanks to its culture, history, and inclusiveness of different people from different faiths, and it has everything to offer, from forts to mausoleums, wildlife tours to mountain adventures.”  

Shoba Rudra, founder and partner at hospitality consultancy Rare India , agrees. “The country is living a dynamic moment in history, ever-changing,” she says. “What's constant, however, is the vibrant culture lived through its festivals, cuisine, heritage, crafts, and performing arts.”

While it would take years to see it all, India is an approachable destination — if you can narrow things down. With that in mind, here are 15 of the best places to get you started on your sojourn to the subcontinent.

Stretching along the southernmost part of India’s Malabar Coast, the tropical state of Kerala entices visitors with its marshy backwaters, which most people visit on overnight houseboat adventures. These popular cruises “showcase lush landscapes and peaceful villages, and [give visitors] a glimpse into local life amid tranquil waters and picturesque surroundings,” says Billo. While the backwaters are a star attraction, the state offers much more to explore, from the tea plantations of Munnar, known for its cool climate and seemingly endless rolling hills, to the historic city of Kochi, celebrated in equal measure for its rich coastal history and contemporary art scene . The beaches aren’t too shabby, either. “North Kerala is also famous, as the Malabar Coast is where the spice trade flourished,” says Rudra. “The coastal area is picturesque and this region is still unexplored.”

On the opposite end of the country from Kerala, Kashmir offers entirely different — but equally captivating — landscapes. With its alpine climate, evergreen trees, and snowy winters, Kashmir is often likened to a mini Switzerland . Famed 13th-century Sufi poet Amir Khusrau once proclaimed in Farsi, “If there is a paradise on earth, it is this,” and he may have been onto something. At the heart of it all is Srinagar, Kashmir’s capital city, which is known for its elegant gardens and watery centerpiece, Dal Lake. “Highlights include staying on a houseboat or taking a shikara [traditional Kashmiri boat] ride,” says Billo, who hails from the area. Don't leave without indulging in wazwan , an opulent, meat-heavy feast that can feature up to three dozen dishes in one sitting. 

Occupying a high-altitude plateau in the northernmost reaches of India, Ladakh is characterized by otherworldly landscapes and big skies, punctuated by palatial stupas and monasteries. Many visitors come to Ladakh’s capital, Leh, during the short summer tourist season, but this surreal region offers plenty more to experience beyond the city. Billo suggests visiting the Nubra Valley, an isolated part of the old Silk Road that’s only accessible by crossing Khardung La, one of the world’s highest motorable passes. “The valley offers a glimpse into Ladakh's unique geography and cultural diversity with monasteries, quaint villages, and apricot orchards,” says Billo. The region is also rich with unusual wildlife, from elusive snow leopards to the scaled-down Bactrian camels that originated in the steppes of Central Asia.

Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

On the banks of the sacred Ganges River, the holy city of Rishikesh has held a place in the hearts of spiritually minded travelers — both from India and abroad — for generations. It’s the self-proclaimed “yoga capital of the world,” with a mix of traditional ashrams (spiritual rest houses) that cater largely to Hindu pilgrims and yoga centers that attract international visitors with teacher-training courses and meditation retreats. If you’re not into yoga, you’ll still find plenty to do here. Popular activities include visiting the ruins of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram (dubbed the Beatles Ashram in honor of its most famous former residents) to whitewater rafting adventures on the mighty Ganges. It’s also a great place for a wellness getaway, and nearby Ananda in the Himalayas was voted one of Travel + Leisure readers' favorite international spas in 2023.

Auroville, Tamil Nadu

If you’re looking for a place that’s unlike anywhere else in India — or, frankly, the world — head to the intentional community of Auroville in South India. This UNESCO-recognized global township was founded in the 1960s with the goal of "realizing human unity," beyond the illusory divisions of creed or nationality, and it's home to generations of residents from around the world. Many visitors come for an hour or two, just long enough to view Auroville’s spiritual center — the golden, dome-shaped Matrimandir . However, it’s worth sticking around a bit longer to get a feel for what the community is about. As Akash Kapur, who grew up in Auroville and authored " Better to Have Gone " and " India Becoming ," puts it: "Come to Auroville if you're interested in alternative societies, sustainable living, or spirituality, but try not to just drop in for a few hours (as many do), and instead spend some time here, really getting to know the people and their work. The community rewards sustained immersion."

Andaman Islands

Although most people associate the crystalline waters of the Andaman Sea with Thai island getaways, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in this tropical region are under Indian control. This little stretch of paradise is full of gorgeous shorelines, but most visitors devote their vacations to the island of Swaraj Dweep (formerly known as Havelock). The most popular beach on the island is Radhanagar Beach , which offers just over a mile of white sand sandwiched between tropical jungle and warm, transparent waters. Getting to this remote island requires a bit of gumption: You'll need to fly from the Indian mainland to Port Blair on South Andaman Island, then catch a ferry or charter a seaplane for the final stretch. While visitors are welcome on many islands in the chain, a few — including secluded North Sentinel Island — are off-limits. 

While many travelers see India’s capital as a jumping-off point for visiting further-afield destinations, it’s worth sticking around for a while to truly appreciate what Delhi has to offer. There’s certainly never a dull moment in this busy metropolis, whether you’re shopping for handicrafts at one of its numerous markets or learning about medieval and Mughal history at one of its three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Humayun's Tomb, Qutb Minar, and Red Fort. Although Delhi is undeniably rambunctious, it also has a quieter, more peaceful side that you can find amidst the trees and 15th-century tombs of Central Delhi’s Lodi Gardens or in the quiet interiors of the Baháʼí Lotus Temple.

Taj Mahal, Agra, Uttar Pradesh

Many travelers to India put the 17th-century Taj Mahal at the top of their list. This white marble mausoleum is easily India’s most recognizable structure — and it’s one of the New Seven Wonders of the World . This popular attraction also has a romantic backstory. “This iconic symbol of love is renowned for its architectural beauty, intricate marble work, and the captivating story behind its creation by emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal,” notes Billo. The bodies of the emperor and his wife remain interred in the Taj to this day. 

Jaipur. Rajasthan

The capital of Rajasthan and one-third of North India’s popular Golden Triangle tourist route (which also includes Agra and Delhi), Jaipur is a must-visit for those who love architecture and shopping. “The Pink City, as it's nicknamed, offers a rich cultural heritage, stunning [landmarks] like Amber Fort, vibrant bazaars, and intricate handicrafts,” says Billo. Many of Jaipur's key attractions are found in the historic walled part of the city, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. Highlights include Jantar Mantar (a collection of oversized — and fully functional — astronomical instruments dating to the 17th century) and Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds, a honeycomb-shaped palace designed with tiny windows that allowed air to flow freely through its interior.

Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Dubbed the Blue City because of the cerulean-colored buildings that extend for miles through the oldest part of town, Jodhpur has long attracted travelers eager to explore the ramparts of the larger-than-life Mehrangarh Fort. It’s also home to the grandiose Umaid Bhawan Palace , which made headlines in 2018 when Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas tied the knot there. While Jodhpur’s beautiful, regal architecture is reason enough to visit, there’s more to the city than massive forts and grand palaces. “The area around the Toorji ka Jhalra stepwell in the old city is fun to explore,” says hotelier Sapna Bhatia, owner of Kaner Retreat and Jodhpur-area native. “For nature enthusiasts, there’s the Rao Jodha desert park near Mehrangarh Fort.”

Udaipur, Rajasthan

T+L readers' favorite city in Asia and second favorite city in the world , Udaipur very much fits the bill of a fairy tale destination. Nicknamed the City of Lakes, thanks to its seven lakes, this gorgeous destination is home to some of India's finest luxury hotels plus historic whitewashed palaces, including the magnificent City Palace, an 11-palace complex that houses hotels, a huge museum with an impressive collection of European crystal, and a royal residence. A short boat ride from the palace lies the 18th-century Taj Lake Palace, an opulent palace-turned-hotel in the middle of Lake Pichola. It’s a quick drive from The Oberoi, Udaivilas , a purpose-built palatial hotel with onion-domed cupolas and a moat-like swimming pool that directly connects to some of the rooms. 

If you’re looking for a less-frequented, but no less amazing, alternative to more touristed states such as Rajasthan, consider Gujarat. “Under-explored but culturally rich, this state in India is a tapestry of festivals, textiles, architectural heritage, communities, and landscape,” says Rudra. Gujarat was also the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, who led the Salt March, one of his most famous acts of peaceful protest, through the state in 1930. Rudra suggests visiting the National Salt Satyagraha Memorial , which “honors the activists through murals, installations, sculptures, art, and related film.” It's also worth checking out the Kutch district, known for its distinct metal bells , which were originally used for keeping track of livestock and are now popular as decorative wind chimes.

Kaziranga National Park, Assam

The northeast Indian state of Assam is home to a treasure for wildlife enthusiasts: Kaziranga National Park . This expansive, UNESCO-listed wildlife refuge near the borders of Bangladesh and Bhutan has the largest population of Indian one-horned rhinoceroses on the planet, providing a home to roughly 2,000 of these massive beasts. Although rhinos are the star attraction on park safaris, all sorts of animals live here, including tigers, elephants, gibbons, sloth bears, and a small number of endangered Ganges River dolphins. 

Historic, glitzy, and positively gargantuan, Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) is easily one of India’s most cosmopolitan destinations. This city by the sea is the nation's financial and entertainment capital, and while you’re unlikely to rub shoulders with Bollywood stars here, you're sure to see a lot of impressive attractions in very little time. Take a boat out to Elephanta Island to explore fifth– and sixth–century rock-hewn cave temples, marvel at the grand Indo-Saracenic architecture at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus , or see thousands of clothes hanging out to dry at Dhobi Ghat, the world's largest open-air laundry. Then, head to the sleek neighborhood of Bandra West, where many of Mumbai’s best restaurants and hotels are located, including Taj Lands End, voted T+L readers' favorite city hotel in India in 2023.

India’s smallest state, Goa, is arguably its top beach destination, where long days of swimming and sunbathing turn into longer nights of partying on the sand. While Goa has been known as a hippie haven since the 1960s, it's started to shed its reputation in recent decades. It’s still very much a party state, though it also draws in families and couples in search of sea and sun, sans nightlife. It’s a great place for history buffs as well, with numerous seaside forts and UNESCO-recognized churches that were built when Goa was under Portuguese rule. And while the destination has always been loved for its fiery dishes that combine traditional Konkani ingredients with Portuguese influences, it has also emerged as a culinary hot spot , where a new generation of chefs is showcasing everything from Japanese yakitori to jackfruit tamales.
