One of the best designed domestic tour packages is the Golden Triangle tour which includes New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.

Whenever in doubt about picking a holiday, simply go to Goa. Irrespective of the weather, the season Goa is beautiful all year around. A lot of people do not prefer going to Goa during monsoon but for those who have enjoyed Goa’s rains once know who beautiful the place looks when it pours. You can pick your stay according to the season, for instance during monsoon you can pick a comfortable lavish hotel so you can relax and enjoy the monsoon with all luxuries at your disposal without worrying having to miss a rocking party somewhere in north Goa. Beaches, bars, fun and sun-kissed sand is just the perfect idea of a holiday.
In contrast to the plains and jazz of the north is the red and heartwarming South Of India. Witness diversity, relics, heritage and culture in South Of India. Rock-cut shrines at Ajanta and Ellora; the palaces, tombs, forts and mosques of Muslim dynasties on the Deccan, Chola temple and beautiful ruins of Vijayanagar capital at Hampi.

Be it trekking, Buddhist and Tibet Monasteries, dramatic and soul stirring landscapes Sikkim is gold for those who call themselves mountain kids. You can include places like Gangtok, Lachung, Pelling, Darjeeling and Tsmogo lake.
Even though the prime time to visit this desert heaven in from November to February instead of all year around but to not include Rann Utsav in this list would be unfair for it is one of the best experiences that one can have when travelling in India.

The coasts and hills of Malabar aren’t romanticized for nothing. You can add cities like Coorg, Kabini and Wayanad in your tour package.
