I’d love to go to India!! I like to watch people and take pictures… I think the most beautiful thing is it’s people!
I’ve been lucky enough to see the Taj Mahal and Kerala, Id love to see the Himalayan Valleys, Goa and the Luxury Train. I would definitely not mind going back to Jaipur and Rajasthan.
Chitrakote Waterfalls in Chhatisgarh for natural beauty, Chittorgarh Fort in Rajasthan for history.
Dharamshala, where the Dalai Lama lives
I’ve never been to India and don’t want to leave my run too late as I’m 63 now. My favourite place to go to would be Varanasi. But I would love to see beautiful colourful temples as well.
I have travelled to India 5 times, the fist being 50 years ago. There are so many amazing places to experience. For me it is the people, the cacaphony of noise, the seeming chaos, the colours & the the most beautiful smiles . Although there is poverty & hardship for some they create & surround themselves in a cocoon of order & beauty.
First on my list is The Taj Mahal; next is the Chand Baori Stepwell.
I was privileged to trek in Sikkim last year, my First time in India and can’t wait to return. I’d love to see the Golden Triangle, the south, and follow in Kipling’s footsteps.

For me the most beautiful and unforgettable place on my tour of India is Varanasi.The panoramic boat trip down the Ganges at sunrise and the iconic and spectacular aarti ceremony is an experience I will never forget.
Haven’t been yet but would love to and so much to see! Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences
I have not visited India but from photos and research, I find the Taj Mahal to be the most beautiful place. I love the majesty of it, the calmness and the look of the structure itself. It feels serene and looks beautiful. It would be top on my list to visit if I win.
I would love to visit Shivamogga district, for the combination of rainforests, the stunning mountain landscapes of the Western Ghats and history/culture to explore. The pictures look just amazing!
Ive never been but id love to visit Udaipur "City of Lakes, to see palaces, take a boat ride, and enjoy romantic sunsets.
If you forced travelers to choose just one spot across India’s 3.3 million square kilometers, the crown for raw, breathtaking beauty goes to Ladakh—specifically Pangong Tso and the high-altitude desert of the Nubra Valley. While palaces and monuments offer architectural grandeur, Ladakh offers an otherworldly scale that makes you feel completely removed from ordinary life. Sitting at an altitude of over 3,000 meters in the trans-Himalayan region, it is a dramatic study in contrasts. Pangong Tso, a high-altitude saltwater lake stretching into Tibet, shifts colors throughout the day from brilliant emerald green to turquoise, deep indigo, and golden bronze. Surrounding it is a stark, “moonland” terrain of arid, jagged mountains carved by lush green river valleys where apricots and poplars thrive against the rocky backdrop. Topping off this incredible landscape are centuries-old, white-washed Tibetan Buddhist monasteries like Thiksey and Diskit that cling improbably to vertical cliff faces under a deep cobalt sky.
Because beauty is subjective, India’s incredible geographic diversity also offers several other distinct aesthetic champions depending on the atmosphere you are looking for. For tranquil, slow-paced luxury, the Kerala Backwaters offer 900 kilometers of interconnected emerald canals shaded by dense coconut groves. For alpine biodiversity, the Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand is a UNESCO-protected meadow sitting at 3,500 meters that erupts with over 300 species of endemic alpine wildflowers every monsoon season. And for pure architectural perfection, nothing rivals watching the sun rise over the Taj Mahal in Agra, where the flawless 17th-century Mughal marble glows in soft pink hues.
If you are dreaming of experiencing Ladakh or the high Himalayas in person, timing is everything. Unlike the rest of India where winter is the peak travel season, Ladakh’s high mountain passes are buried in snow from October to May, making July and August the absolute prime window to visit and see the landscapes at their absolute best.
I have never been but I would definitely like to see the Taj Mahal.
Never been – I’d love this tour!
