Leh to Turtuk
Known as "the last village of India," Turtuk is a settlement tucked away in the untamed mountains of Ladakh. It is a difficult day's journey from Leh to this final outpost of India before the Pakistani border. The route to Turtuk travels via Nubra Valley, a huge desert region home to Bactrian camels, and Khardung La, one of the highest motorable crossings in the world.
Pampore to Chandigarh
Kashmir is well-known for its excellent saffron. However, few are aware of Pampore, a tiny village located around 17 km from Srinagar that is home to the majority of the cash crops in the area. On the road to Srinagar, pass through Pampore; the usual route is by Pathankot, Udhampur, Patnitop, and Anantnag.
Cherrapunjee to Guwahati
From Guwahati in Assam to Cherrapunjee in Meghalaya, take an unusual road trip that provides views of rolling hills, deep valleys dotted with waterfalls, lush vegetation, and the constant promise of rain. The four-hour drive to one of the world's wettest locations is a veritable slideshow of breathtaking scenery.
Pune to Malshej Ghat
After spending months alone, a trip to Malshej Ghat via the Western Ghats range that hugs the Konkan coast and a stay in this serene valley could be exactly what you need. This mountain pass in Maharashtra, with its profusion of wildlife and waterfalls, is around three hours' drive from Pune.
Saputara to Ahmedabad
Saputara is well-known as the lone hill station in Gujarat, located in the centre of the Western Ghats. It is breathtaking, covered in a thick layer of vegetation and frequently referred to as "nature's womb." Travelling from Ahmedabad to Saputara passes through several important cities. In Vadodara, take in the magnificent Lukshmi Vilas Palace; in Bharuch, see the century-old Golden Bridge; and in Navsari, explore Dandi Beach, where Mahatma Gandhi once walked.
