As soon as a traveller hears this name, their imaginations will run wild supported by beautiful images of backwaters in Alleppey, a romantic hill station covered in the mist like Munnar, and a herd of elephants drinking water from Periyar River. Kochi is the best place in India to visit in 2020 and one of the top 10 cities in the world according to Lonely Planet. Festivals like Onam, Theyyam and Thrissur Pooram are a treat to watch for the banana leaf feasts, orchestration of caparisoned elephants, powerful Chenda Melam beats, and other bizarre traditions. The world’s richest Padmanabaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, the oldest church in India – St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in Palayur, and the oldest mosque in India – Cheramaan Juma Mosque in Thrissur are beautiful destinations to visit in Kerala.
The acoustic technologies of the Golkonda Fort, the divine beauty – Birla Mandir, the antique collections of Salar Jung Museum, spiralling antique steps of Charminar, the famous bangle street – Laad Bazaar, and lip-smacking Hyderabadi Biryani will make travellers undergo a wholesome tour experience. Hyderabad has served as the capital of Andhra Pradesh from 1956 to 2014. The Qutb Shai Sultans of the Golconda had discovered Hyderabad. The old buzzing bazaars, vintage landmarks, amusement parks, and chai shops of Hyderabad are the most important attractions. On the other side of the coin, hi-tech zones like Cyberabad with IT firms, and malls in Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills make Hyderabad a complete city of everything.
The seven sister states of North-East India consists of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura. Every state has a unique character and attraction – Arunachal Pradesh is famous for its eternal hero Jaswant Singh Rawat who single-handedly saved AP from the Chinese Army.

Likewise, mega rock-cut structures of Unakoti in Tripura, the wettest place in the world, Cherrapunji and the living root bridges of Meghalaya, hornbill festival of Nagaland, and Kaziranga National Park and tea leaves of Assam are the noteworthy attractions in NorthEast India.

The best place in India for UK tourists is Kolkatta or Calcutta since this vintage city served as the erstwhile capital of British India. The colonial architecture, Bengali sarees and cuisine, predominant hipster vibes, heritage holding chaotic streets of North Kolkata, and suburbs like Hoogly and famous Howrah Bridge in Kolkatta are noteworthy attractions. The Writer’s Building, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Victoria Memorial are amusing examples of the city’s great culture and past. Uk travellers can visit the city’s impeccable museums, Belur Math, Kalighat Temple, Princep Ghat, and take a leisurely stroll down the Botanical Garden. This city of charm is a must-visit destination for the UK tourists for the long-established connection with India.
The above-listed destinations are just a snippet of the potent tourism territory of India. It’ll be a nostalgic experience to connect with India on good terms for UK tourists. As the third most tourists come to India from the UK after Bangladesh and the USA, places like Tamil Nadu for its Temples and Culture, Uttar Pradesh for Taj Mahal, the Backwaters of Kerala, Erotic Carvings and Forts of Madhya Pradesh, and luxury stays in Rajasthan for their significant contribution to Indian architecture, art, culture, food are the most highly visited states by UK travellers in India.
