India is a country rich in variety, both culturally and geographically. Cities and states are not interchangeable. The blog below will discuss the most talked-about tourist destinations in India. PS: Remember to invest in travel insurance internationally, especially while coming to India.
1. Goa
Goa is one of India’s most popular tourist spots because of its beautiful beaches, hippie culture, easygoing lifestyle, and exciting nightlife. Invest in medical insurance for travel if one is interested in different water sports.
2. Agra
Whenever ‘Agra’ is spoken, the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, quickly comes to mind. This beautiful city on the banks of the Yamuna River in Uttar Pradesh has a long and rich history. Many magnificent Mughal architectural marvels dot the cityscape, making it a hub for India’s architecture. You’re in for a treat if you’ve never gone to Agra. Remember to invest in travel insurance as there might not be a direct flight to the city.
3. Rajasthan
Rajasthan, ‘the country of kings,’ attracts history, architecture, wildlife, and food. Also, make sure to invest in travel insurance, international or local, as a road journey here will take you to several picturesque little towns where you may learn more about the vibrant Rajasthani culture.
4. Delhi
The Indian capital of New Delhi is a typical yet famous tourist attraction. Delhi’s abundance of historic Mughal structures, temples, heritage sites, theatres, colourful bazaars, posh shopping complexes, planetariums, museums, and restaurants offer something for everyone. Also, if your travel insurance can cover two states, sign up to visit Delhi and Rajasthan together, as the distance is 3 hours only.
5. Munnar
Munnar, in Kerala’s Western Ghats, is a renowned tourist destination. The hill station is known for its stunning scenery, which includes mountains, valleys, woods, waterfalls, streams, parks, tea and spice plantations, and meandering pathways. But Munnar’s undeniable colonial enchantment keeps visitors coming back for more.
6. Coorg
Coorg, also known as Kodagu, is a popular tourist destination in India due to its picturesque setting in the foothills of the Western Ghats. This Karnataka hill station is a favourite weekend destination for peace & quiet seekers and outdoor enthusiasts. The beauty of Coorg is unparalleled, from its verdant hills and rushing streams to its quaint villages and expansive coffee and spice farms.
7. Manali
Manali, in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu Valley, is a renowned tourist destination for its beautiful scenery and laid-back vibe. In summer, city dwellers escape to the hill station. This hill station is one of the most visited in India because of its stunning natural beauty, which includes snow-capped mountains, dense forests, riverine valleys, and sparkling streams.

Incredible scenery, including the Nilgiri Hills, clean lakes, verdant tea plantations, and colourful flowers, can be seen around Ooty.
