Diu: Daman & Diu

When you’re used to seeing Goa trump every list of beach getaways, Diu is definitely a surprise. Diu combines the colonial Portuguese influence you’ll see in Goa, with Pondicherry’s appeal of a small town. There are sparkling beaches where you won’t find as many people as you would in Goa.

All you need to do is to fly to Ahmedabad and take an overnight bus to Diu.

Lesser known than it’s famous neighbor, Shogi is serene and less commercialized. Soak in the nature at it’s best and the company of your beloved while take strolls in the Himalayas. If you crave a bit of bustle, you just need to drive down to Shimla!

Raison, Himachal Pradesh

The picturesque village cluster of Raison can be seen from afar as you approach it, and it has retained its colonial charm to this day. It is home to apple, kiwi and pomegranate plantations, and when these are in bloom, the region has a festive colour and heady fragrance.
