Where to next
Destinations
From Kerala’s backwaters to Bali’s temples, explore where we plan holidays and what makes each place special.
Domestic destination
Goa
Goa blends Portuguese-era churches and spice markets with some of India’s most relaxed beaches. North Goa suits travellers who want energy and nightlife, while South Goa is quieter and better for slow mornings and long dinners by the sea.
Plan around the monsoon, which can disrupt water sports between June and September.
Highlights
- Beach shacks and sunset cruises
- Old Goa heritage churches
- Spice plantation visits
Domestic destination
Kerala
Kerala is known for its slow-moving backwaters, tea-covered hills and Ayurvedic traditions. Spend a night on a houseboat, then head up to Munnar for cool air and sweeping estate views.
Kerala’s monsoon season is lush and quiet, and many properties offer discounts during this time.
Highlights
- Houseboat nights on the backwaters
- Munnar tea estate tours
- Kathakali performances in Kochi
Domestic destination
Rajasthan
Rajasthan is a land of forts, palaces and desert sand. Jaipur’s pink city, Jodhpur’s blue lanes and Udaipur’s lakeside palaces make a classic circuit that rewards a slow, unhurried pace.
Evenings in the desert, with a camel ride and a cultural dinner, are among the most memorable moments of any trip.
Highlights
- Amber Fort and City Palace
- Blue city walks in Jodhpur
- Desert camp nights near Jaisalmer
Domestic destination
Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh offers pine forests, alpine meadows and snow-capped peaks within a day’s drive of Delhi. Manali and Solang Valley suit adventure seekers, while Kasol and Tirthan suit quieter, nature-led breaks.
Mountain roads demand care, so we plan drive times conservatively and recommend an SUV for higher routes.
Highlights
- Snow activities in Solang Valley
- Riverside cafés in Kasol
- Rohtang Pass permit assistance
International destination
Dubai
Dubai combines futuristic skyline views with desert traditions. Watch the city from the Burj Khalifa, explore the old Al Fahidi district, then spend an evening under the stars on a desert safari.
Shopping festivals and cooler winter temperatures make the November to March window ideal for families and city breaks.
Highlights
- Burj Khalifa observation deck
- Desert safari with BBQ dinner
- Abu Dhabi day trip
International destination
Bali
Bali is a favourite for couples and wellness seekers. Temples perch on sea cliffs, rice terraces step down into green valleys, and Ubud’s cafés and studios make every afternoon easy to fill.
The dry season from April to October offers the clearest skies for sunset cruises and beach days.
Highlights
- Ubud temple and rice terrace tours
- Sunset dinner cruise
- Private pool villa stays
Domestic destination
Ladakh
Ladakh is a high-altitude desert of turquoise lakes, ancient monasteries and dramatic mountain passes. Leh is the gateway, with Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake a scenic drive away.
Altitude needs respect, so every itinerary includes a rest day in Leh to acclimatise before heading higher.
Highlights
- Overnight stay by Pangong Lake
- Camel safari in Nubra Valley
- Thiksey and Hemis monasteries
Domestic destination
Varanasi
Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world, and the spiritual heart of India. Sunrise boat rides, evening Ganga Aarti and narrow temple lanes make it unforgettable.
