The best holiday packages in India for those who want to explore the wilderness is a tour that covers the north eastern part of India. The popular destinations are Dzongu, Parvati Valley, Kurseong and Mirik.
Dzongu, Sikkim :- Shadowed off from the rest of the world by the mighty Khangchendzong, Sikkim feels like a world lost in time. Explore the Buddhist monasteries in Gangtok and head to Dzonghu, the land of the Lepchas. Take a stroll in the Khangchendzonga National Park and breathe in the crisp mountain air. Spend two days in a homestay with the Lepchas to experience their culture and revel in the stunning surroundings.
Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh :- Located in the heart of Parvati Valley, Kasol is a quaint little hamlet where you can enjoy some peace and quiet. Lounge by the riverside and experience sheer tranquility - the only sound you will hear is that of the breeze rushing past the trees. A little further into the valley is the Manikaran settlement where you can relax in one of the numerous hot springs and baths.
Kurseong, Darjeeling :- A quaint hill station that is locally known as Kharsang (translates to 'Land of the White Orchids'). The town offers a relaxing concoction of terraced tea gardens, white orchid nurseries, the Teesta River and the soothing green valley of Darjeeling.
Turik , Meghalaya :- Turik is just what you need if you are trying to get away from the robotic urban grind. This town is washed year around by torrential rains and is a step away from all that is modern. Located in the West Garo of Himalayas, here you can spend the day at Pelga Falls, enjoy a picnic lunch at the confluence of Rongram and Ganol rivers and trek the stunning Tura Peak.
