SHARING IS CARING # 13

Last day of the Sharing is Caring week. It was good practice for I read a lot, wrote a lot, got to know about many destinations etc. I realised I have so much to travel. Its a cliche for my blog but it is true that one life is not enough to travel this world.

I have so much more to share here in my blog and of course I will time and again. Now, this Sharing is Caring is about some of the beautiful villages of India. Yes Villages are always beautiful than the cities. Cities are polluted and always dirty. Villages are small, organised and clean.

The list from www.holidayiq.com is about 8 such villages as follows :

1. Kasol, Himachal Pradesh

This pristine village is an ideal place to just be and let go. Walk through and chill around with sceneries and landscapes borrowed from paradise and a distinct culture from its frequent Israeli visitors. Its glittering markets and breathtaking views will leave you asking for more.

2. Mokokchung, Nagaland

HolidayIQ Traveller Kalpesh Morekar says, “Visit Mokokchung and you can see the different cultures of India. The place is ideal for nature lovers. Avoid travelling in the rainy season. Start your travel from Dimapur (chopper facilities are available). You could also drive to Mokokchung.”

3. Malvan, Tarkali

HolidayIQ Traveller Mandar Joshi says, “Malvan has good offerings of typical Konkani food and cashewnuts. The village is beautiful with good people. The marine sanctuary with variety of corals and other sea life is a must-visit,” says HolidayIQ Traveller Faiz.

4. Kumaon, Uttarakhand

HolidayIQ Traveller MD Faizi says, “Kumaon is a good place for a holiday with friends. You can trek in the jungles, feel nature in the most pure form and spot various wildlife. We took an elephant ride. Because there were not many options with food, we cooked our own meals, which was fun.”

5. Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh

A fish farm, hills with a view, pine trees and paddy fields all over. This place in Arunachal Pradesh comes with absolutely nothing on its list of ‘must -do’ things and makes up for an ideal place to chill.

6. Kandaghat, Shoghi

A small little hill side town tucked away in the Himalayas, Kandaghat is cut away from the tourist circuit. It is located on the Chandigarh-Shimla Road and it nonchalantly springs up on you just before the capital town.

7. Chitkul, Sangla

HolidayIQ Traveler Sudhir Kalra says, “Last village on Indian side of border, which is accessible by road. Nothing but pure nature in its glory! It is a very small village with hardly any people around, and their livelihood depends on tourism. There are also patches of lands for cultivation. There are good streams of water all around.”

8. Malana, Manali

HolidayIQ Traveller A.S. says, “This is a lovely little village in middle of dense mountain forest. The approach is not scenic but after reaching it is worth every penny. The place is very refreshing with hospitable villagers. We played a cricket match with local boys and had a great time.”
