Incredible India: Top Indian Destinations (Part 2)

By Super Admin

Sikkim:
Terraced emerald rice fields, wee sleepy villages clasping the mountainside, brightly-colored monasteries, apple-cheeked happy children, orange trees, and the majestic Kanchenjunga - Sikkim is one of India's most delightful destinations. A lifetime would certainly not be enough to spend in this land under the Himalayas. Provincial capital Gangtok, rising against a hillside, is small and pretty that brings an overflow with tourists and is one of the top destinations in India.

Sanchi:
Sometimes tourists are found to travel to destinations that are not as popular as others. One such destination is Sanchi. Restful, Mystic, Calm... a visit to this 3rd century BC monument located atop a small hillock in this tiny town is a truly spiritual experience. From the top of the hill, standing in the shadow of the monument, you can get a bird's eye view of the endless fertile farmland for miles around and occasionally hear a freight train chugging by. It's become one of the top destinations in India from the year 2006; it gained a lot of prominence as people are traveling to this place from all over the world.

Haridwar:
An aarti on the banks of the Ganga during sunset at Haridwar can be a deeply moving experience for even an atheist. As the sun dips below the horizon and casts a rosy glow on the Ganga, the riverside temples -- of all sizes and vintage - light up giant diyas. The robust and rousing tunes of "Jai Jai Jagdish Hari" re begin to emanate and reverberate from underneath the numerous bridges that span the holy river. Thousands line the river singing along joyfully. An unforgettable experience and the beautiful sights have made this place worth visiting and one of the top destinations in India.
