[Last Updated: 12th Oct 2015] We have made slight modifications in the list as per the changing circumstances. We have also added couple of destinations that we think should be mentioned here.
[divider]I have not done a top 10 list for a long time now, and with Summer Holidays on, I thought it was a good time to post this list – The top 10 tourist destinations in India.
India is very very diverse – probably the most diverse of countries that you will find on this earth. We have some of the Coldest places in Kashmir, A place that has highest rainfall in world – Cherrapunji, and also one if the driest places on the Earth – The Thar Desert. Adding to that – More than half of Indian boundary is home to beautiful beaches. And don’t forget that Northern part of India hosts Himalayan Ranges snow capped mountains.
Mix all this with different cultures and hundreds of Languages and Dialects – You have a got a potent mix of diversity. If you really think, I really am amazed that with such diverse people & geographies how do we operate as one single democratic country !
Anyways, I am digressing here. Let me now give you

The Top 10 Tourist Destinations in India
Agra
Agra’s Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings in the world, the mausoleum of Shah Jahan’s favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is one of the New Seven Wonders of the world, and one of three World Heritage Sites in Agra.
Completed in 1653, the T?j Mahal was built by the Mughal king Sh?h Jah?n as the final resting place for his beloved wife, Mumt?z Mahal. Finished in marble, it is perhaps India’s most fascinating and beautiful monument. This perfectly symmetrical monument took 22 years (1630-1652) of hard labour and 20,000 workers, masons and jewelers to build and is set amidst landscaped gardens.
Jaipur / Udaipur
Jaipur is also popularly known as the Pink City, is the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Jaipur is a very famous tourist and education destination in India.
Lots of people flock to Jaipur to view the various forts and monuments in Jaipur which reflect its glorious past. Tourism is a significant part of Jaipur’s economy. Some of the world’s best hotels are located here.
Forts & Monuments
- Hawa Mahal
- Amber Fort
- Jaigarh Fort
- Nahargarh Fort
- City Palace
- Jantar Mantar
- Jal Mahal
- Rambagh Palace
- Chandra Mahal, The City Palace, Jaipur
- Diwan-e-Aam, City Palace
- Central Museum, (Albert Hall Museum)
Goa
Goa is Famous for its pristine beaches, infact 90% of all the tourism in Goa happens only for its beautiful beaches in Coastal Areas. Goa has two main tourist seasons: winter and summer. In the winter time, tourists from abroad (mainly Europe) come to Goa to enjoy the splendid climate. In the summertime (which, in Goa, is the rainy season), tourists from across India come to spend the holidays.
In 2008 there were more than three million tourists reported to have visited Goa, more than half million of whom were from Foreign visitors. Infact, many foreigners have made Goa as there home for its laid-back and relaxed lifestyle !
Kashmir
Kashmir was once called Heaven on Earth, and once of the most beautiful places in the world. However, in last couple of decades, terrorism has faded its charm – A place home to Himalayan Ranges.
The State of Jammu & Kashmir has main three geographical regions known as “The Lesser Himalayas” or the “Jhelum Valley” (Kashmir), “The Inner Himalayas” or “The Indus Valley” (Ladakh & Frontier areas) also called “Trans-Himalayas”, and “The Outer-Himalayas” or “The Southern mountain range” (Jammu). The area of Jammu & Kashmir is 2, 22,236 square kilometers.
Kanyakumari
Though there are several places of tourist-interest in the town and district, Kanyakumari is especially popular in India for its spectacular and unique sunrise and sunset. The confluence of three ocean bodies – the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea – makes the sunrise and sunset even more special. On balmy, full-moon evenings, one can also see the moon-rise and sunset at the same time – on either side of the horizon.
Kerala (Backwaters)
Kerala, situated on the lush and tropical Malabar Coast, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Named as one of the “ten paradises of the world” and “50 places of a lifetime” by the National Geographic Traveler magazine, Kerala is especially known for its ecotourism initiatives, Beautiful Backwaters and Alternative healing massages.
Old Delhi
Delhi, Capital of India has many attractions like mosques, forts and other monuments that represent India’s history. The important places in Old Delhi include the majestic Red Fort. New Delhi on the other hand houses many government buildings and embassies, apart from places of historical interest.
The Qutub Minar, Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb have been declared World Heritage Sites.
Ajanta Ellora
Ajantha & Ellora are 28 – 30 rock-cut cave monuments created during the first century BC and 5th century AD, containing paintings and sculptures considered to be masterpieces of both Buddhist religious art and universal pictorial art.
The caves are located just outside the village of Ajantha / Ellora in Aurangabad district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
Since 1983, the Ajanta & Ellora Caves have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Darjeeling
Darjeeling in India owes’ its grandeur to its natural beauty, its clean fresh mountain air and above all, the smiling resilient people for whom it is a home. Known for its natural splendor, Darjeeling’s best gift to its’ visitors is the dawn of a new day. The mountains awaken first with a tentative peeking of the sun.
A steep ride, five kilometers from Ghoom, or an invigorating walk up a steep incline, leads sun worshippers to Tiger Hill. The air is chilly with darkness and damp. To the east, a dull orange sun emerged painting the sky with brilliant strokes of magenta, gold, orange and fuchsia. The snow capped Everest, Kabru, Kanchenjunga, Jannu and other peaks slowly emerge from slumber to start a new day. The sun worshippers gasp at the magnificent sight.
Mysore
Mysore is a tourism hot spot within the state of Karnataka and also acts as a base for other tourist places in the vicinity of the city. The city receives the maximum number of tourists during the period of the Dasara festival when festivities take place for a period of 10 days. One of the most visited monuments in India, the Ambavilas Palace (also known as Mysore Palace) is the center of the Dasara festivities.
New Additions [2015]
Leh / Ladakh
The Ladakh capital city of Leh lies near the eastern parts of Jammu and Kashmir, on the crossroads of the historic “Silk Route” from Sinkiang to West Asia and to the plains of India. The humbling monasteries of Shey, Hemis, Alchi, Thikse and Lamayuru will nurture your spiritual needs, and the landscape of Leh provides for a number of adventure activities including mountaineering, white-water rafting and trekking along the Markha Valley.
Gangtok
The capital of the state of Sikkim, Gangtok is an attractive tourist destination, reflecting a unique ambience which derives from its happy blend of tradition and modernity. Alongside the deeply felt presence of stupas and monasteries, Gangtok also bustles like any other thriving town. Some of the key places to visit include Rumtek Monastery, Do-Drul Chorten, Enchey Monastery, Tashi View Point and the local bazaar, Lal Bazaar.
If you like Cold places
Rohtang Pass
If you are fond of cooler temperatures, Snows and mountains, Rohtang Pass HAS to be on your list! There are multiple reasons for it.
First and foremost, Rohtang Pass is one of the very few places in India where you will find snow throughout the year – if you love skiing, you cannot miss this place.
However, do check your calendars properly as this place is closed in the winter months for nearly six months. The season starts from April-May and runs until October, after which this place gets lots of snow and the place is closed. Afterall, this is 13,000 feet above sea level!
Hope you have found this Top Tourist Destinations in India article interesting. If you have any questions, do drop in a comment
What are you waiting for – Go ahead and book your travel tickets right now :)

Hi Arun, After reading this post i am feeling like taking a break from my busy schedule and going on a trip to some of the most beautiful places in India. I admire how in this post the destinations are well described and helps in deciding which one to visit at what time of the year. Keep providing with the other awesome places to visit in India.
Thank You
Agree here! India is the land of beautiful, historical places. You can add several places in your list such as Shimla, kasauli,kullu manali, Dharmshala and many more. I am planning to visit kullu manali. rohtang pass and laddakh during summer vocations. So what are your plans?
I recently had the opportunity to visit Amritsar and the recently opened Gobindgarh Fort. This fort is over 300+year old and has never been open to the public/ civilian atleast for the last 170 years. It has a history of having been under Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the British raj, post independence- the Indian army. Even the gorgeous Kohinoor diamond was stored here.
History here is told via the means of state of the art technology through their various shows. Currently there are 2 shows. 1 show being a 3D with special effects on Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the other a beautifully done evening show using projection mapping. What a marvellous way to teach and learn history!!
This fort is very different from any fort you have been to earlier. Very neat clean and tidy spaces. Offering the best of Amritsari/ Punjabi food and also goods to purchase.
I am made to believe that in the near future several more shows and activities are to be added.
This is a must visit destination for every and anyone visiting India/ Punjab.
Undoubtedly India is one of the most beautiful places to travel. A very vivid and beautiful description of the subcontinent is made here. I would also like you to check out https://blog.collectoffers.com/2017/02/20/incredible-india-from-tales-to-trails/

by far one of the best posts around the Top 10 places in India… would still love to see some more places in the south featured in such a list – like Hampi… but all in all a very good list!
India is surely one of the most visited countries in Asia with a great number of world-class tourist attractions. I like this list and specially the ranking is completely perfect. Agra deserve the top spot in any top any list of top places to visit in India…and that is obviously for the Grand Taj Mahal….
Hi, your post is nice. I want to share my personal experience with Nainital. Recently I have visited Nainital & stay at Himalaya Hotel. It’s a Lakeside Hotel. I had booked rooms in hotel through the website http://www.himalayapavilion.com. Amazing experience. Now I’m thinking to visit Gangtok in summer. Can you elaborate how would be the weather in Summer?
Hi Sia,

I would be most eager to assist people (irrespective of nationality) in touring around. I am learning French too!
In case, you can refer someone to me, i would be obliged.
Warm regards,

Jaipur/Udaipur?… Well these two places are almost 400 km apart, and not at all similar. Plus you have mentioned only about Jaipur with that title. Either separate them or remove one of them please. Personally Udaipur and mount Abu should be under a single title and deserves a place in the top ten. Best places you will ever visit in India.
Whole of the India is beautiful. There are so many beautiful places like Goa, Shimla, Kullu Manali, Kashmir etc.. I Love My INDIA !
according to me hampi should top the list followng by mysore.
Hi Arun
Great Places you have Covered !!Helps Us to find interesting places to be visited !! These place are Very famous.
Thanks For Sharing

Sure you can use… But attribution is a must!
yes, will do. thanks a lot
oh awesome it’s so nice to see this post! i thing it’s really nice if i see this in person :)
It is a very good try to enlist top 10 tourist destinations in India, but it is critical to make a serial list or top 10 or 20 or like this. Person to person differ their test…………., so the list should be maximized …………
north east has some really breathtaking natural beauty. What nature really is, you will get the answer by visiting northeast destinations.
¤ Arunachal Pradesh
¤ Tripura
¤ Mizoram
¤ Manipur
¤ Assam
¤ Meghalaya
¤ Sikkim
¤ Nagaland
¤ Information
¤ Wildlife
¤ Hill Stations
¤ Adventure Sports
How much ($) money require while visiting and seeing these wornderful places/sites?
Should have included Kullu-Manali in the place of old Delhi

east or west, JAIPUR is best…for tourism
everything that a tourist wana see, jaipur can satisfy his high expectations
b-coz jaipur contains everything, fort, lake, Palace, fascinating and beautiful monument, glorious past, paintings and sculptures, Art Centres, India’s Greatest Culture…..and many more that cant be explored through words
I LOVE JAIPUR

Bihar has given birth to all 4 religions. first capital of bharat. great people, good culture, richest state in india for natural resources. i humbly request you to post some for bihar…. future is for bihar.

India is such a diverse country that it is difficult to choose just 10 places.
u r ryt india is really INCREDIBLE!!!!!
no its not its crap
@Sarah Garner
You are right, there are a lot travel destination in India. Nobody choose top 10 for all of person’s choice.
Sir,
I am Ahmad Faisal from Pakistan. I have some reservations regarding visit to India, that Pakistanies are arrested without any reason. Is this right, otherwise i am very found of to visit India specially Taj Mahal. Can you reply me on email about my reservations.
India is democracy and country is governed by people not by Army like Pakistan. So don’t worry you will be as free to go anywhere in India as a person from any other country. Dost hamara Dil bahut bada hai, hundreds of people from your country working in entertainment industry of India without any problem. But don’t do anything illegal in India…
Kashmir is no doubt most beautiful place in the world.. Its a place which is whole and entirely beautiful..its every part..its villages, towns, cities.. roads,,trees..birds…. PEOPLE… breezes.. climate… mountains.. valleys… every inch of KASHMR is beautiful….. But kashmir belongs to Kashmiris only… But guests are always welcome… Guests from Indian and all over the world come here.. no doubt they enjoy but we too enjoy der company…. They love kashmir and we kashmiris Love them…..
all are nice places. I seen four places. those are super. You done good job bro.
tour to kanyakumari and kashmir is awsome experience, great.

Hi Komal…Whr r u these days..missing u
Have fun!! and your book of lovely Sufi stories is with me, left it in India ..will send it to you if smone goes to chd ! love you..
Yury,
As you mentionned that you are going to visit India with your wife for 6 days so I would suggest you manali or Auli to visit……..these places are very cool and you will definitely enjoy the tour……It would be better to visit one place completely instead you go for 2 or 3 different places as you have just 6 days….and if you want to visit 2 or 3 places so go to Agra and fatehpuri seekri which is about 35 k.m. from Taj mahal…..then you can go to jaipur and udaypur…..choice is yours……….good luck.
I am agree that kashmir is the most beautiful place of our country but so far as the beauty and safety are concerned, there are some other places to visit in India which is safe and where we can find the natural beauty like : manali, Rohtang pass, dalhousie, kullu, simla, lahaul spiti , khajjar, nainitaal, mussorie, auli, dhanaulti, dharamshala etc…….where plenty of tourists goes every year so why these beautiful places are being avoided………….
I really love to be in kovalam beach and Kanyakumari was amazing experience………
every one can fight for 2 to 10 stage but dont fight for 1 ,first is only for taj whether u compare on international level……becouse taj mahal is logo or symbol of india…..somebody only knows india becouse of taj mahal…..tajmahal which is highest capital earning tourist palace in india. So please dont west ur time for 1st rank it will be alwys resrv.
IT REALLY HELPED ME A LOT FOR MY PROJECT. THANKS BRO FOR THAT FASCINATING PROJECT!!!!………………………
All are awesome . i am seen above three place and another is going to next year. good job bro

You’re Joh
Well, Kanheri Caves in Sanjay Gandhi National Park is also a nice place.
Nice list I agree with you. However, Kerala is not just famous for its backwaters. In addition to the backwater tourism, kerala is a hot spot for beaches like varkala, kovalam etc and hill stations like munnar, thekkadi etc. Major attraction of kerala is its wonderful greenery.
‘God’s own country’ Kerala is the best place in india
It’s really gaild to know that we so to much visit or know about our country
Nice oneeeeeeeeeeeee
Hello Sir,
Isn’t Manali a best place?
Ok, since many of you are very familiar with India, I would like to ask for suggestions. My wife and I will be travelling in India in early August. However, we only have six full days. We will be flying into/out of New Delhi. The suggestions I have received so far have been New Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi. I am not interested in seeing tons of temples, but want to see Indian culture. Considering that most flights are fairly short, we don't need to limit ourselves to only Northern India. I'm not interested in visiting lots of temples, but am interested in Indian culture, history, food, and shopping. Hyderabad has also been suggested. I don't want to visit more than three cities. All suggestions are welcome. This will be our first time in India. One last thing… the Taj Mahal/Agra is already covered (before the said six days). Thank you
Ask Julie. She traveled with her friend in India :)
Visit jaipur and than fly from there to hyderabad for roundtrip of two day in beteen for 6 days…
Jaipur & hyderabad both got indian culture + history + shopping destinations
You can get good genuine pearls from hyderabad( you required to check govt proved places)…. Similarly jaipur you will get best leather goods and indian clothes and even show-pieces….
In terms of history both places have amazing museums and heritage tourists places…
as u wud be landing delhi and you dont have much of a time i wud suggest that u visit agra n move to jaipur jodhpur jaisalmer, udaipur n back to delhi. In agra u wud c one of the seven wonder of the world, in jaipur & jodhpur u will be able to c the rich heritage, culture, history and food, in jailsalmer u will be able to see the sand dunes and the awesum sonar fort but it will be pretty hot during ur stay and udaipur (the venice of the east) it has loads of place to wud luv n then back to delhi . travelling too far extend wud not serve the purpose that u want as u want to enjoy the heritage, food, history and shopping.
Ok, so it looks like I will be visiting Kerala (Cochin) for 2.5 days, 1 full day in Jaipur, and 1.5 days in Udaipur. What suggestions do you have for Kerala? Flying in on July 31, out on 8/3.
Hi, I am Abhishek from India near to Delhi….if you guys want to see Indian culture, then go to Gurgaon city. and in gurgaon you can go "Kingdom of dreams".

TANJORE once it was the capital of the great chola dynasy of india..better u can see any one of this city(my preferense is madurai) OOTY its a hill station der u wud find the nilgiris train it is world heritage train running since from 1895 and also u could find the muthumalai reserve forest der u could see tigers, elephant, leopard etci.. next kerala Gods own country.. so many back water tourist spots r their, one day u can spend in boat house its completely extrodinary.. u can feel a complete dravidian culture in south india and u can see the one of the oldest culture and one of the oldest speaking languaga(tamil)..

Khajuraho,Leh, Konark,Bedaghat,auli(winter season),Valley of Flowers, Hampi, Tarkarli, Madurai temple and Golden Temple may be missing from the list.
where is odisha puri?
Really agree with you and bikarm, puri is the weasome plase, it’s has the natural beauty as well as the holy palce of Load Jagganath so it should be there in top 10 coz there is no season for tourist, they come 365 days here in puri. not only puri but also various place of odisha is planty of nature, so i would suggest peolpe to be there once.
jaipur is beautiful allora maharastrame kaha hai.

India is a tourist hub. And Uganda has Gorillas plus the beautiful River Nile.
Sebo Hon. Kiganda, tho India is a tourist hub, its easier milking a lizard than finding an Indian tourist in Uganda.

Hi Manisha Sharma
I would like to know is it safe to travel kashmir now ?
Kashmir is very safe now, i went their last month. i realize why Pakistan is fighting for this place? really beautiful place. I don’t know how to say about Kashmir Valley,
Its beyond the words……..
It is the most beautiful place in the world.. n Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris…ONLY KASHMIRIS…..
tour to kanyakumari and kashmir is awsome experience, great.
where is the konark and odisha
gud one….
Hi there .. great post .. It is most interesting blogs i’d like to visit again and again .. I am looking forward to see more interesting content like this .. Now i agreed that India is one of the beautiful place in this world .. specially their hotels :)
Mr. Author: Arun Prabhudesai:
I would like to draw your attention towrds this lin of your where you have posted top10 places to visit in India. I would like to tell you that you have acknowledge Bihar drawing more tourist than Goa than why can’t we see Bihar/Boghgaya as being top 10 tourist places in India. Please make some change here so that Bihar could improve upon its image and status as one of the best tousit places of this great Counrty.
There are some here I wouldn’t rate among the top ten but everyone’s take on things are bound to be different.
Goa and the Backwaters are okay but doesn’t deserve to be here. Kanyakumari, Mysore and Darjeeling are crap. I agree with Harpal. Golden Temple is truly special. Deserves to be here. No comments on Kashmir because I haven’t been there.
@Arvind, you must have not visited Mysore palace, from inside, one of the best art and architecture you can ever imagine. And it is the 2nd most visited place in India. Backwaters of Kerala are surely one great tourism efforts from people of kerala, they are world class, believe me and Kanyakumari i’m not sure why it has made up in top 10.
The top 10 list is complete i feel with a little bit of debate left to the people to comment.
How can you leave out Amritsar, the Sikh holy city where the Harmandir Sahib (Golden temple) is located. It recieves more visitors than the Taj Mahal. Go to Amritsar in Punjab, India you won’t regret it.
Oye! Harpal paji, tussi kamal kar ditta yaar. Golden temple is holy place not a tourist place. But hamara Amritsar hai bada changa, khub baddia.
pakki gal aa veer
Harpal Ji Golden temple is a place of worship not tourism
tusi kamal kartay ho ji
A nicely composed and informative article. Though I wonder why Mumbai is not up there.
i like ol this places in india very much.. i wish i can roam here wid my dear ones . the best place is kashmir where i hav evere gone.! it was very enjoyable..! kashmir was a trip bto heaven for me..!!!
if we talk about beautiful resort places of the world.. i suggest you guys to visit hawaii island…. i was on a holiday to hawaii with my family … and the places was extremely awesome…
