1. Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh – The Swiss Feel in India

Known as the Mini Switzerland of India, Khajjiar is a stunning hill station surrounded by deodar forests, alpine meadows and a quiet lake. Its lush green landscape and gentle slopes offer a view that feels straight out of the Swiss countryside. The cool weather, grazing cattle and picture-perfect backdrop make it a dreamy escape tucked away in the Himalayas.

2. Auli, Uttarakhand – India’s Austria of Snowy Slopes

If snow-covered peaks and alpine skiing are what you associate with Austria, then Auli is where you need to be. This Himalayan gem offers clean white slopes, panoramic mountain views and dense forests. From cable car rides to skiing during winter, Auli delivers an experience that rivals any European ski town.

3. Coorg, Karnataka – A Misty Slice of Scotland

Also called the Scotland of India, Coorg is a lush green region with rolling hills, coffee plantations and misty mornings. Its climate and hilly terrain bear a striking resemblance to Scottish landscapes. With its peaceful vibe, cool breeze and aromatic air, Coorg offers a romantic and refreshing getaway that feels both local and faraway.

4. Rann of Kutch, Gujarat – Echoes of South America’s Salt Flats

The vast white expanse of the Rann of Kutch is nothing short of magical. Under the moonlight, the desert transforms into a glowing canvas that reminds many of Bolivia’s salt flats. During the Rann Utsav, the cultural colours of Gujarat blend beautifully with the surreal landscape, creating a destination that feels both exotic and unforgettable.

5. Puducherry – A French Escape in South India

Walk through the lanes of White Town and you might just forget you are in India. With its colonial French architecture, pastel buildings, French street names and quaint cafes, Puducherry brings a European charm to the South. The mix of Tamil culture and French influence creates a unique blend that is elegant, laid-back and undeniably photogenic.

6. Andaman and Nicobar Islands – India’s Answer to the Maldives

White sand beaches, clear blue waters and vibrant coral reefs make the Andaman and Nicobar Islands a top pick for tropical beauty. Whether you are scuba diving in Havelock or relaxing on Radhanagar Beach, the experience is very close to a luxurious Maldives escape. The islands offer adventure, serenity and luxury in one perfect package.

7. Chitrakoot Falls, Chhattisgarh – Niagara’s Little Sibling

Often referred to as the Niagara Falls of India, Chitrakoot is especially stunning during monsoon. As the water crashes down wide rock cliffs, it creates a visual that is both powerful and breathtaking. While not as massive as its American counterpart, the thunderous beauty of Chitrakoot still manages to leave visitors completely awestruck.
