On the occasion of India Tourism Day, we list some unconventional destinations in India that you could explore.
Keith Bellows, a visionary journalist, author and globetrotter has aptly put his thoughts about India, "There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won't go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds.”
