What's the most beautiful place in India?

India packs in everything from the Taj Mahal and the palaces of Rajasthan to Himalayan valleys and Kerala’s backwaters, so “the most beautiful” is never a settled question.

We’d love to hear which spot tops your list - whether you’ve been lucky enough to see it in person, or it’s the one place you’re still dreaming of visiting.

Tell us where, and what makes it special to you. :backhand_index_pointing_down:

I’ve been lucky enough to travel by train all over India.

You’ve certainly hit the India Highlights with ‘the Taj Mahal and the palaces of Rajasthan’; both can get crowded though, so visit early.

The trains were crowded too.

Next time I think I’d like to do the Palace on Wheels.

I got interested in India when I watched the 3 Idiots, and later on I met Indian friends and they were lively and fun to talk to. I’s like to visit India and try their cuisine, especially the curry from the original place.

If there’s a spot there that tops my list it is Taj Mahal – Not only I love architecture, but this place is a timeless symbol of love. Visiting at sunrise is especially magical, with the white marble glowing in the morning light. This one has been on my list! - Chanel Justine Mizoguchi

We absolutely fell in love with Mumbai. We had a wonderful driver who looked after us and after two days we were sad to say goodbye. Taking a little boat to Elephanta island was a highlight.

Haven’t been yet, but Goa is on my bucketlist for beaches

To roam around just places is not enough to check what real Indian beauty is sometimes it was some unexplored places built by locals or a culture or any festivals which celebrates by the regional public only. It is about the crafts the markets, handmade things which is actually shows the real art and skill. This is also a beauty of india according to me.

If I have to pick the absolute top of my list, it’s seeing the Taj Mahal in Agra at sunrise for sure. I don’t think pictures have prepared me for how pretty it’ll be! It’s the ultimate dream destination for me

I did the main sites so I have to Taj Mahal but I’m sure there are some hiidden gems.

Rann of Kutch!

Tigers in the far north

For me, it’s Udaipur! I’ve never been to India, but Udaipur has completely captured my attention. The beautiful lakes, the City Palace, the colorful streets, and the peaceful atmosphere make it look like something out of a storybook.

When I travel, I’m not looking to rush from one attraction to the next. I love slowing down, talking with local people, trying traditional food, and taking in the little moments that make a place unforgettable. I can picture myself sitting by Lake Pichola at sunset, simply soaking it all in. That’s the kind of travel experience I love, and it’s why Udaipur is at the top of my India bucket list.

Absolutely the Taj Mahal. I had the opportunity to visit the Taj in 1990, before it was on the tourist circuit. There was a slight drizzle that day and there were only a couple dozen people on the grounds so photography was great! The mausoleum is perfect and the architecture is stunning. It is unlike any building I have ever seen because it appears to be so light that it looks like it’s floating. Seeing the Taj Mahal was a life altering experience.

I haven’t been to India yet, but it’s def one of the countries I dream of visiting one day (hopefully). I studied interior design for 4 years, so architecture is something I’m really passionate about along with being able to see certain places in person

I’d love to see Taj-ul-Masajid in Bhopal (the pink facade and grand domes are just stunning!!) and Hazratbal Shrine in Kashmir (mainly bc of the mountain scenery in the background.) I have a feeling I’d spend just as much time admiring the architecture as I would exploring everything else :sweat_smile:

North India looks fascinating! And Indian food is luscious.

Northern India looks amazing

I’d love to see India, I have very good family friends from there and I’d love to experience India for myself! The customs, the Taj Mahal and Rajasthan. I’d love to see some of the beaches as well. I don’t know much about India, so I’m very curious.

I would be lucky enough to travel all aver India and see it’s wonderful places.

Been a dream to go to India for years. I have always loved the animals since I was little but as a teen got into the history and culture. Its high on my bucket list. The Taj mahal is of course always a top choice but I admit I want to go to Rajasthan for tigers.

I did a camel safari, riding on a camel, across the desert. Several days with camping, I’ll remember it forever.
