Explore sun-drenched beaches, lush green valleys and snow-capped mountain hideaways
in India, a country of many natural treasures. For exciting places you can get away
and play, consider:
Goa
India's natural beauty is on full display in the state of Goa, where most months the
sun kisses the palm-stubbled beaches where the Arabian Sea meets the land. This "Pearl
of the Orient" offers a vast array of water-filled options for visitors: swimming,
scuba diving, snorkeling, sunbathing and more. But travelers also enjoy local sightseeing
excursions, particularly to the area's temples and churches where fine examples of
Portuguese architecture are on display.
Auli
Make your way to the top of the world in Auli, a luxury ski resort town at 10,000
feet above sea level in the Himalayas. Here you can enjoy some of the best slopes
anywhere during the winter and hiking and mountain biking during the summer. Year-round,
you'll always be assured of spectacular panoramic views.
Madikeri
When you stay in the capital of Kodagu in Southern India, where coffee and tea plantations
line the rain-soaked hills, you'll immediately fall in love with the area's rugged
beauty. Travelers needn't travel far to enjoy sacred waterfalls, the elephant training
camp of Dubare, and the wonders of Nagarahole national park and wildlife area.
