This giant country\u2019s coastline stretches north-to-south and south-to-north for over four thousand miles, out of which, on its eastern edge, explodes the Ganges \u2013 one of the most famous rivers in the world. India is also home to an unfathomable amount of wildlife, from tigers and panthers to elephants and rhinos. Without further ado, let\u2019s explore this country\u2019s beautiful regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Himalayan North<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Himalayan<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Himalayan North<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Himalayan North of India is home to the states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and the contested northernmost state of Jammu and Kashmir. Besides the politics and modern history of this area, there is nothing to stop this being one of the most beautiful regions in the world: a land of green hills, verdant forests, and jagged, sky-piercing mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see something like the Swiss Alps but on steroids, take a trip to Valley of Flowers National Park in Uttarakhand. The first week in August sees this green valley painted pink with gigantic Himalayan balsam for a glorious sight. Epic vistas also await in Himachal Pradesh, with the alpine forests of Manali and the famous Dharamshala \u2013 home to the Dalai Lama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Punjab & Haryana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Punjab & Haryana<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

South of the Himalayan regions of India are the two states of Punjab and Haryana. While business-minded Haryana almost envelops the country\u2019s capital of Delhi, Punjab \u2013 coming from Persian and meaning \u2018five rivers\u2019 \u2013 is a different story. This western state encompasses a major cultural region of India, as well as rich history; there are plenty of abandoned forts to explore in the sprawling countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for its Sikh population, Punjab is populated by a number of Sikh temples (gurdwara). It\u2019s in this state that you will find the city of Amritsar \u2013 or more specifically, its most famous landmark: the Golden Temple. Also known as the Harmandir Sahib, this temple was built in 1577 and is the foremost pilgrimage site for Sikhs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Rajasthan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Rajasthan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vast western\u00a0state of Rajasthan\u00a0is the largest in India, and one its driest places. This region is characterized by desert and majestic fort towns like Jaisalmer and Jodhpur, known as the pink city and blue city respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most notable is the Thar Desert near Jaisalmer, where camel rides and stone ruins exhibit the Mughal history of the region. The Aravalli Range ends up in Rajasthan, at the southwestern-most edge of which is Mount Abu \u2013 one of the coldest areas in the state and home to forests, waterfalls, and lakes.Also situated in Rajasthan is the famed Ranthambore National Park, a large conservation area known for its population of Bengal tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Gujarat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Gujarat\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Gujarat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

South of Rajasthan is Gujarat, India\u2019s westernmost state and one of the most diverse regions of the country. A portion of the Thar Desert can be found in Gujarat, part of which is made up of the Rann of Kutch \u2013 wide salt flats that are also known as the White Desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Marine National Park in the Gulf of Kutch is an intriguing place; at low tide, the sea rolls back for miles to reveal rocks, sea slugs, and a variety of birdlife. Dry grasslands can be seen at Blackbuck National Park in Velavadar.Part of the enormous mountain range known as the Western Ghats is located in Gujarat. There\u2019s also Mount Girnar, the state\u2019s highest peak, home to some of the most ancient Jain temples and holy sites in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Maharashtra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Maharashtra\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Maharashtra<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located for the most part on the Deccan plateau, the large state of Maharashtra makes up most of west-central India and is the location for one of the nation\u2019s largest and most famous cities \u2013 Mumbai. This is the richest city in India, complete with the nation\u2019s largest population of millionaires and billionaires; it\u2019s also home to the largest slums in the country.Taking up part of the western shore of the country, the 700-kilometer-long Konkan Coast is lined by miles of pristine, untouristed beaches; for example, the relatively isolated Kashid Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inland, the Amboli Nature Reserve is a hill station where you can be among the clouds and lush treetops, with waterfalls and stunning sunsets to soak up. In the district of Aurangabad are the famous Ellora and Ajunta Caves, a stunning collection of ancient Hindu, Jain and Buddhist monuments set among one of the largest temple-cave sites in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Goa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Goa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known the world over for its coastline, the former Portuguese colony of\u00a0Goa\u00a0is all about palm-lined beaches. One of the best beaches here is the clean and little known Galgibaga in South Goa; this beautiful spot is where turtles are known to nest. There are more famous beaches though, like Palolem and its beachside eateries; the laid-back atmosphere of Mandrem; or the more hippie-flavoured vibes of Anjuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fascinating slice of India, only handed back to the country when the Portuguese governor-general signed a surrender after the Indian army annexed Goa in 1961. Today there is evidence everywhere of the Portuguese legacy, from crumbling fortresses, churches still in use (25% of Goans are Christian), and even in the cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Delhi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Delhi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capital of India, Delhi is surrounded by the National Capital Region, with districts taken from neighboring Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan making up its area. This frantic, frenetic city is the second-most populous in India and has been lived in \u2013 continuously \u2013 for over 2,500 years. Naturally, sights abound, from the 20th-century Lotus Temple (HQ of the Bahai Faith) to the colonial shopping district of Connaught Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though this region is marked by increasing urbanisation, there\u2019s still a lot of natural beauty to be found here. Part of the city-meets-nature feeling of the area can be found at Okhla Bird Sanctuary; though it\u2019s a place to spot rare birds in their natural habitat, it\u2019s served by its own metro station on Delhi metro\u2019s magenta line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Uttar Pradesh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Uttar<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Uttar Pardesh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

East of Rajasthan and bordering Nepal to the north, Uttar Pradesh is India\u2019s most populous state. It\u2019s a cultural home for Hinduism, with Krishna\u2019s birthplace traditionally pinpointed to a location in this state, whilst Buddhism also has a claim to fame; it\u2019s in this state that Guatama Buddha gave his last ever sermon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also here where the rivers of the Yamuna and Sarswati meet to make the mighty Ganges even more mighty. And it\u2019s along the banks of the Ganges that you\u2019ll find one of India\u2019s most iconally \u2018Indian\u2019 places: Varanasi. One of the holiest spots on the river, this is where people come to bathe, wash their clothes, and be cremated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the state where you\u2019ll find the city of Agra, home to the iconic Taj Mahal, and state capital Lucknow, which abounds with beautiful buildings documenting its history as a Mughal stronghold, Nawab capital and a key city in British India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Bihar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Bihar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bihar is located to the east of Uttar Pradesh and for the most part, is a subtropical region known for its vast, fertile plains. The only national park in the area is the globally renowned Valmiki National Park. Situated close to the border with Nepal, here you may be able to spot Bengal tigers, Indian elephants, and Indian rhinos amid its lakes and forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also the marshy Kanwar Lake Bird Sanctuary, where you can catch a glimpse of exotic avian life \u2013 including the Siberian crane \u2013 at Asia\u2019s largest oxbow lake. Other natural wonders lie in places like Bodh Gaya, a holy site known for the Bodhi tree under which Gautama Buddha allegedly attained enlightenment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Madhya Pradesh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Madhya Pardesh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This central Indian state bears the remnants of various eras of Indian history, from the Maruyan Empire to the Rashtrakuta dynasty, and much more, leading to its nickname \u2018The Heart of India.\u2019 It also happens to be rich in natural wonders, many of which are often neglected by tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bandhavgarh National Park is a beautiful natural environment, marked by jungle, hilly terrain, and Bengal tigers. Pench National Park, located in the Plains of India, is where you can spot monkeys, deer, and other wild animals very easily; it\u2019s home to the forest that inspired The Jungle Book, after all. There are even 30,000-year-old cave paintings at Bhimbetka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Eastern India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Eastern India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eastern India is a varied region of the country. From the high-altitude tea-growing area of Darjeeling to the hot and humid coastal state of Odisha. West Bengal is the home of Kolkata; formerly Calcutta, this city \u2013 India\u2019s 7th-largest \u2013 is home to grand colonial architecture, arts and culture festivals and was the centre of the so-called Bengal Renaissance in the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get into the forests and wetlands of the utterly sprawling Ganges Delta at\u00a0Sundarbans National Park, where over 400 Bengal tigers roam. Heading up to the foothills of Darjeeling, Tiger Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views; if you\u2019re lucky, on a clear day, you may catch sight of Mt Everest in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darjeeling itself began life as something of combination health spa and military outpost in the British Colonial days. Fast-forward to modern times and this area has some of the last steam locomotives still in use in India (e.g. the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway) as well as some of the best British-style public schools in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Northeast India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Northeast<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Northeast India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far-flung Northeast India provides incredible landscapes \u2013 from soaring mountains to deep river gorges. This region is landlocked and bordered by China, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, almost cut-off from the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of Arunachal Pradesh is a snowy, mountainous area, while Nagaland is a semi-autonomous region blooming with beautiful floral valleys \u2013 like Dzukou Valley, known for its seasonal lilies. Elsewhere in Meghalaya, the Nohkalikai Waterfall is the tallest single-drop waterfall in India, and Mizoram features its own famous Vantawng Falls. Sikkim\u2019s Yumthang Pasture is a meadowed wonderland, and Assam boasts the world\u2019s largest river-island \u2013 Majuli Island. Northeast India has a lot to show off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Karnataka<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Karnataka\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Karnataka<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

South of Maharashtra and Goa and north of Kerala, Karnataka is known for its firm place in history; it was a stronghold for ancient and medieval Indian civilisations for around 12 centuries. Today the city of Mysore (or Mysuru) boasts a number of historical buildings, such as the Mysore Palace and the soaring St Philomena\u2019s Cathedral, and is known as a cultural capital of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Bangalore (or Bengaluru) is the actual capital of Karnataka and is a forward-facing urban centre. Replete with Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, Christian, Muslim and Hindu places of worship, this is a multicultural city with skyscrapers and tech companies galore, pushing the way forward for India\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of the cities, Karnataka\u2019s jungles are wild: as well as tigers and monkeys, these are home to the largest population of elephants in all of Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Andhra Pradesh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Andhra
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Andhra Pardesh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making up part of what is geographically east-central India, Andhra Pradesh \u2013 on the east coast \u2013 and inland Telangana were once one entity, until 2014 when Telangana became India\u2019s newest, and 29th, state.There\u2019s a lot of nature to soak up here. In Andhra Pradesh, situated high in the Eastern Ghats is the Araku Valley. It\u2019s a lush, paradise-like land, with streams, waterfalls, coffee plantations, and different tribal cultures to discover. Nearby is Ananthagiri, a cooling hill station with amazing views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Telangana on the Deccan Plateau, there are various parks within easy reach of its capital Hyderabad \u2013 like Jawahar Deer Park \u2013 while in the north, there is Adilabad, famed for its many waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Kerala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Kerala\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Kerela<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like practically all of India, Kerala is culturally different from a lot of the country, complete with its own language and script \u2013 Malayalam.It\u2019s also one of the most relaxing places you could visit in the country. Alleppy, at the foot of the Western Ghats, is where you will find the backwaters; canals and rivers where you can stay on ornate boats and drift along on cruises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher in altitude, Munnar is a hill station in the district of Idukki where you\u2019ll find tea plantations. Close to Munnar is also the location of Eravikulam National Park, the state\u2019s first national park, where you can see the endangered Nilgiri Tahr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Tamil Nadu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Tamil<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Tamil Nadu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eastern neighbor of Kerala, Tamil Nadu is a distinct entity, a direct descendant of three great empires \u2013 Chola, Chera, and Pandya \u2013 with influences from the colonial empires of Britain and France, which ruled parts of this state, thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madras (or Chennai as it is known today) is the state capital and is a city pulsing with life; it\u2019s here that you\u2019ll find colonial relics and the heart of the Tamil film industry. Elsewhere Madurai is known as the \u2018Athens of the East\u2019 thanks to ancient historic sights like the colourful 6th-century Meenakshi Temple and Koodal Azhagar Temple, as well as the beautifully ornate 17th-century Thirumalai Nayak Palace.Chettinad mansions and old French bakeries in Pondicherry seal the deal for Tamil Nadu\u2019s cultural credentials. And that\u2019s not to mention the awesome wildlife and jungles of the Western Ghats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Andaman & Nicobar Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Nicobar\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. <\/code>Andaman & Nicobar Island<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made up of around 300 islands located in the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands are ringed by coral reefs and inhabited by indigenous communities. They\u2019re closer to Thailand and Myanmar than the Indian mainland.One of the islands is home to the Sentinelese, an uncontacted people whose technology incredibly remains in the paleolithic era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 38 of the hundreds of islands are permanently inhabited. When it comes to nature, expect tropical rainforests with over two thousand varieties of plants, dense mangrove forest and \u2013 of course \u2013 palm-tree fringed beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
