Della Adventures Park

While this might not be a hidden gem to those who have heard, it’s such a fun side to what India has to offer. Della Adventure Park is India's largest extreme park, with over 50 activities to choose from. It’s better than the typical theme parks you get or any jungle gym you’ve heard of. It’s definitely for all the dare-devils alike who want to have some fun like we did when we were kids.

You’ve got the only swoop swing in India here, along with a motocross dirt bike ride, a buggy ride, paintball and the longest flying fox. Be sure to pack non-sentimental things you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, such as some gym leggings, as this park was made for those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty.

Ajanta Caves

If you want something that embodies both history and adventure. You are spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding how to tour this beautiful area. You could start with an early breakfast, you might need to hire a private car to get there if you don't want the hassle of trains and walking.

Ajanta offers sites into an ancient Buddhist civilization and what remains are architectural phenomena, statues and grand artwork. You will learn about the rich history of this once-populated civilisation; it's a must-go visit, and you will be star-struck leaving this place.

Gurez Valley

A surreal, picturesque and stunning landscape that those who are outdoor enthusiasts would love to add to the list. The valley not only gives you a good route for exploring but also offers so much opportunity for some quiet downtime away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. The fields, hills and running water give you a whole different part of India that we should all get to see.

It is located below the ‘Line of Control; which makes it one of the most safeguarded terrains in India. You don’t have to worry about finding this place, as it’s very easy to get there by car.

Dhanushkodi

You could have your beach-style holiday here and journey to Tamil Nadu. You get way more than you bargained for. It is full of history; this beach was once believed to have a connection to Sri Lanka. This coastal town is full of charm and character, ready to be unlocked. If you are done lounging on the beach, there are remnants of the old town that you can enjoy and venture around.

Mawlynnong

If you want to explore from village to village, you need to come to Mawlynnog in Meghalaya, it is known for being the cleanest village in South Asia. Its adorable and clean character is not something many of us have experienced so it’s a phenomenal place waiting to be explored. It gives people a view of what a civilised community looks like.

Filled with pristine streets, well-looked-after gardens and eco-friendly waste management, you can only imagine how friendly the residents are here. It’s a little gem in India, and there is nothing else like it!
