India is a country which has plenty of destinations for one to explore, relax and learn. Some of the places have become very common but still a large number of people go ahead with the more known places, for example, Shimla and Ooty. These are two largely popular destinations which are being flooded with tourists, but there is not much to see around these places, especially Ooty.
