As you're probably aware, India is a vast country with a diverse range of landscapes and ecosystems. You can find yourself in the middle of the desert, just next to the ocean, or even in the Himalayas. The country also offers plenty of other incredible places that are perfect for camping, hiking, or just relaxing by the river.
You can find these beautiful destinations all over the country. But while some destinations are well-known, there are still plenty of places that are waiting to be discovered by travelers from around the world.
Here are the Best Unexplored Places in India to be experienced once in a Lifetime:
1) Kerala Backwaters, Kottayam:
Kottayam is a location of breathtaking beauty and is known as the "land of letters, latex, & lakes" because of its extensive stretches of serene backwaters, enormous rice fields, rubber plantations, & population of literate people. This stunning city is a hidden gem that is located in the basin of the beautiful Vembanad Lake and paradise for all types of your backwaters destination needs.
Whether travelling to Kerala with family, friends, or coworkers, tourists can reach this picturesque city, rent houseboats, sail through the crystal backwaters, and discover Kottayam's mystic charm. A trip to Kottayam is a must once in a lifetime for a magical experience that will last forever in your memories.
2) Sandakphu, West Bengal:
The name "Sandakphu" refers to the height of the poisonous plants for which the mountain is renowned. The highest peak in West Bengal, Sandakphu is situated at an elevation of 3,636 metres and is yet mainly unexplored. Even though the peak's poisonous plants (Himalayan Cobra Lilies) are infamous, the spectacular panoramic views of four of the world's highest peaks from its summit make it a worthwhile trip.
Starting from Manebhanjan & travelling through valleys and thick forests, you can hike to the peak. Although the journey is difficult and demands a great level of fitness, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Kanchenjunga, Everest, Makalu, and Lhotse once you reach the peak.
3) Khimsar Sand Dunes Village, Rajasthan:
The only ways to get to Khimsar, the Thar desert's undiscovered gem, are by jeep, camel, or horseback. The exclusive retreat is home to Rajasthani "Dhani" (dwellings) huts that are an essential element of the local Rajasthani population and surround a serene blue lake.
Take in a gorgeous sunrise or a colorful sunset, dine by a picturesque lake under a sky filled with twinkling stars, or go on a desert safari. Eco-friendly houses abound throughout the village, which aptly describes traditional Rajasthani culture. The rural charm of this location is undeniable and worth witnessing once in a lifetime.
4) Ziro Valley, Arunachal Pradesh:
Ziro Valley is one of the most beautiful and unexplored destinations in India. It is located in Arunachal Pradesh, which is one of the least explored states in India. It is well-known for its pine hills & rice fields and is where the Apa Tani tribe calls home. The Apatani cultural landscape is listed on the Tentative List for the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kile Pakho, the Talley Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, the Meghna Cave Temple, Dolo Mando, and Tarin Fish Farm are among the must-see locations in Ziro Valley. Ziro valley has so much to offer which is untouched and it is surely a place that should be visited by every traveler, at least once in their lifetime.
5) Hemis, Leh:
Hemis is a beautiful place to visit in North India which is not yet explored properly and should be travelled once in a lifetime. When you're looking to explore India during the winter, there are few offbeat places in India as idyllic as Hemis in Ladakh. The beauty of this place remains throughout the year.
