Looking for a relaxing holiday? There are many terrific destinations around the world for a chilled-out holiday, but one of the best (and often most overlooked) is India. People often think of India as being an extremely populated and hectic place, and, while there certainly are areas like this, there are also much quieter and breathtakingly beautiful parts of the country which are all about being peaceful.
A Peaceful Country
In fact, peace is an important part of India’s cultural identity as it is a country that has never invaded another. Mahatma Gandhi is world-famous for his nonviolent civil disobedience leading India to independence over British rule and this has inspired movements across the world. This has ensured that India remains a very peaceful place and a superb place for a relaxing vacation.
Relaxing Areas
India is an enormous and very beautiful country with non-tourist areas being the best place for a relaxing holiday. In southern India, you will find idyllic retreats like Andaman which is perfect for those looking for relaxing beach holidays and a range of water-based activities. Coorg, meanwhile, is a nature lover’s paradise with beautiful natural surroundings which makes it a good place for hiking, sightseeing and adventure activities or simply relaxing in your natural surroundings. Another relaxing spot to consider is Ziro, Arunchal Pradesh which boasts picture-perfect scenery with endless paddy fields, pine trees and rolling hills - all you need to chill out and escape the stresses of daily life.
Guided Holidays
As such a large country, the best way to enjoy a relaxing holiday here and to get the most out of it is with a tour holiday. This can take all of the stress out of organising the holiday yourself so that all you have to do is relax and go with the flow. Additionally, these tour holidays will take you to the lesser explored areas, teach you about what you are seeing and allow you try a wide range of activities which would have been difficult to organize by yourself. Specialists like Jules Verne can arrange amazing tours of India which will allow for an unforgettable vacation that allows you to see the great beauty of this country and see the areas that not all tourists get to see.
India is, historically and culturally, a very peaceful nation. It is also one of outstanding natural beauty which means that it is the perfect destination for a relaxing holiday. A guided tour holiday is the best way to see the country and allow you to try a wide range of activities, see rare wildlife and relax in some of the most beautiful and secluded areas in the entire world. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, then India could be just what the doctor ordered.
