It cannot be considered as an exaggeration if one would say that India still remains unexplored or under-explored, not only by foreigners but also by Indians. The country is highly diverse and a beautiful one. Although there is no dearth of places to visit, we tend to keep on visiting the same places year after year.

Many of us would want to head to Goa for New Year's Eve or Kasol for a long weekend, Coorg for the folks from Bengaluru and the list simply goes on. These places are indeed wonderful, there is no doubt about that; however, one cannot deny the joy of heading on a road which is less-travelled.
