Of course, we couldn’t let him keep all those incredible spots a secret! So, here's what he has to say about his list of 20 best travel destinations in India that he loved and would revisit in a heartbeat (and you should too!). 

Udaipur

Udaipur is the first city I went to when I started creating content so it will always be special for me. Witnessing sunset by the lake is my favourite thing to do in Udaipur apart from exploring the most iconic palaces.

Goa

If you want to explore the better and more beautiful part of Goa; my vote would go to South Goa, with its pristine beaches and quaint cafes, this place has a tranquillity of its own.

Little Rann of Kutch

Part of the Rann of Kutch, it’s famous for its Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary. The sanctuary is named after a subspecies of wild ass (Equus hemionus khur), the last population of which it harbours.

Mumbai

Mumbai is the perfect amalgamation of modernity and historic charm. My love for this place is never-ending. 

Shimla

The ‘Summer Capital’ of the British stands tall with colonial-era architectural marvels with picture-perfect spots in the hotspots. Do not miss the toy train ride here which is also a UNESCO heritage site.

Pondicherry

This place is straight out of your Pinterest. The picturesque French colonies and the beaches, everything is absolutely charming. 

Pushkar

My favourite time to go here is during the camel festival. If you’re a creator you must go there, at least once during that festival time. 

Rishikesh

Situated just beside the Ganges river, it feels peaceful and pious to be there. A trip here would quench your soul like no other place!

Agra

The misty winter mornings make the Taj seem like a magical place when you enter it. With fog surrounding the tomb, it seems clouds have come down and the whole thing looks all sorts of mystical. My favourite activity here is to take a boat ride behind the Taj.

Kolkata

The city of joy truly fills my heart with joy. This city has an old-world charm to it, moving at its own pace. A metropolitan city yet so different from the other cities.

Spiti

Its postcard-perfect hamlets, surreal landscapes, tons of trekking trails, ancient monasteries and scenic lakes are a delight to every traveller. I went there once and had the most memorable trip. Cannot wait to go back again soon!

Varanasi

On the banks of the Ganges, is a city of timeless spirituality. Known as the Spiritual Capital of India, it offers experiences like the divine Ganga Aarti, visits to the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple, explorations of its historic lanes and is a metaphoric journey into India's soul.
