7 reasons Kerala belongs on your 2026 list
Backwaters, Ayurveda and hill-station tea trails — here's why God's Own Country still steals hearts, and how to see the best of it in a week.

A first Rajasthan trip is paralysing — every city sounds magical. Here's the honest breakdown.
Jaipur is the introduction. The Pink City is the easiest first stop — direct flights, big-name hotels, and the Amber Fort plus City Palace deliver the classic Rajasthan picture.
Udaipur is the most romantic. Lake Pichola, the floating Taj Lake Palace and the City Palace make it the obvious honeymoon choice. Two nights minimum.
Jodhpur is the most photogenic. The blue lanes spreading below the Mehrangarh fort are striking in any season.
Jaisalmer is the most cinematic. The golden sandstone fort and a night in a desert camp are unforgettable — but the drive there is long.
Pushkar and Bundi are the bonus tracks. Smaller, quieter, and full of character — perfect for a second trip.
For a first-timer: do Jaipur–Udaipur as a four-night taste. For a deeper trip, add Jodhpur or Jaisalmer.
