India has no dearth of lovely travel destinations. But India is home to a plethora of equally incredible tourist destinations that remain hidden from the eyes of tourists, and that doesn't mean that lesser-known places have anything less to offer; just that they haven't been explored as much. Here you'll learn about the unexplored places in India – gems that are vastly unknown but worth a visit. If you want to unveil the beauty of lesser-known destinations in India, this is an article for you.
1. Lambasingi, Andhra Pradesh
Lambasingi is home to stunning landscapes in Andhra Pradesh's Vishakhapatnam district. What makes this place one of those rare places in South India is snowfall. Lambasingi is one of the coldest escapees in South India with temperatures ranging from 0 to 10 degrees Celsius and is claimed to be the 'Kashmir of South India.' If you are interested in capturing nature's impeccable elegance, then this spot should definitely be considered.
2. Tarkali, Maharashtra
With its clean seas, long and narrow beaches with Shuru trees in the backdrop, Tarkarli, in Sindhudurg district in Maharashtra, is one of India's most pleasant and non-commercialized beaches. It is an exquisite place to avoid the hustle and bustle of cities and let your body and soul rejuvenate in the lap of nature. In addition, when you take a break from its beautiful beaches, there are traditional markets and historical temples and forts that you can visit.
3. Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh
Ziro is a small town in the Lower Subansiri district of Northeast India, in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, and has hosted the Ziro Music Festival in September every year. These are the aspects that describe Ziro Valley for you: Green rice fields, gurgling rivers and picture-postcard villages of the Apatani tribe. It is surely one of the places which need more publicity in India.
4. Osian, Rajasthan
Another beautiful yet underrated destination in India that has successfully stayed away from urbanisation is Osian in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. For those who love historic architecture, it is a delight and the fact that you get to see it all in an oasis in the Thar Desert makes it a double whammy. Owing to the exquisitely sculpted temples, the small town of Osian has earned the nickname "Khajuraho of Rajasthan." There are temples built between the 8th and 11th centuries that make it an exclusive site for archaeology.
5. Valparai, Tamil Nadu
Valparai's natural bounties are no less enchanting than any other South Indian hill station. A beautiful land on the Anamalai mountain range established 3,500 feet above sea level, Valparai is not just a small area, it is a majestically woven green patch of divine land. As never before, the lush greenery, salubrious air, expansive tea plantations and undisturbed tranquilly would cast a spell on you and it is only 120 km from Coimbatore.
