I believe that on every holiday you should explore some new destination. Because travelling is not all about exploring a new place it also makes you more wiser and knowledgeable through your experiences.  Every year travellers and tourists bounce between places like Kasol, Madurai, Guwahati, Shillong, Ahmedabad etc like they are in a steady relationship. And while there’s something to explore the common favourites, there are literally so many destinations out there beckoning to be discovered. Ahead, know about 4  unbelievable, lesser-known Indian destinations that you may not be even aware of—but need to visit in 2018.

 Kotagiri, Tamil Nadu

Located quite close to Ooty, Kotagiri is quite possibly Tamil Nadu’s best hidden gem. Not only is this the home of abundant greenery and wildlife, but the hill station is also a shining jewel in the crown of Nilgiri area for its natural beauty. For a weekender, Kotagiri is bubbling with so much to do and see: visit the Rangaswamy Pillar and the popular Kodanad View Point. Of course, this site has enough good accommodation for a comfy stay.

 Shojha, Himachal Pradesh

The Himalayan village of Shojha or Shoja, having virgin charisma, is famously endowed with natural and architectural beauty. The charm of Dhauladhar and Himalayas is worth beholding from Shojha during the autumn season. The allure of this beautiful village extends deep into every part of the Seraj Valley where it is situated.
