5 INDIAN DESTINATIONS TO VISIT BEFORE YOU'RE 30 (& BUCKET LIST OF TO-DOS WHEN YOU'RE THERE)

1. GOA FOR PARTYING & GAMBLING Well, India’s most happening beach town is famous (or, infamous, whatever you chose to call it) for its party and gambling culture. Do indulge in some of these fun activities to soak in the flavour of the town, although make sure you’re headed to a safe place. Also, bask in the ever-changing colours of the sand by the sea, treat your taste buds to the distinct flavours of the local cuisine, and drink up!

2. MCLEODGUNJ FOR ADVENTURE SPORTS You cannot plan a trip to this quaint hill station and not participate in the exciting adventure sports organised here - rock climbing, paragliding, ziplining, et al. That apart, reach for the skies during your trekking expeditions, experience life at a camp, visit Tsug La Khang (Dalai Lama's temple) and Tibetan monasteries, to get a feel of nature and the local culture.

.RISHIKESH FOR RIVER RAFTING Rishikesh is synonymous with river rafting. The adrenaline rush you feel while making your way against the natural flow of the river is unparalleled. That’s not all.

Also, go trekking, camping along the river, experience the dynamic Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat, to feel at one with the body, mind, and soul of this destination.

ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS FOR DEEP SEA DIVING The aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean embracing the cluster of islands that are a part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a sight to reckon with. Indulging in a host of water sports like scuba diving, snorkelling, and kayaking, for that adrenaline rush. Havelock is truly a paradise and is also one of the few places in India where you can experience bioluminescent beaches—the water at the beach appears to glow.
