The countryโs most popular tourist destinations seem to be becoming victims of their own success.
Every week, social media is filled with images of traffic jams and overcrowded hill stations. Holidays that were meant to be relaxing end up testing peopleโs patience.
Those places will have to find ways to cope with the surge in visitors.
But India is vast. And there is no shortage of beautiful destinations that remain relatively undiscovered.
So do share your hidden gems with me and Iโll try to amplify them here.
To start with: Valparai. Tamil Nadu
From these photographs, it looks like the Munnar many of us wish we had seen 30 years ago.
A winding drive up 40 hairpin bends from Pollachi, dams, rainforest views, and wildlife ranging from elephants to lion-tailed macaques and great hornbills.
