What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?
If you ask me which country is at the top of my bucket list, my answer might disappoint all those fancy international travel brochures.
India. Yes, India. And preferably by road! 😃
Why rush to tick off countries when my own country still has so many beautiful corners waiting to be explored? My India travel bucket list is far from complete, and honestly, India seems to have no intention of making it easy for me!
Kashmir’s breathtaking valleys, Kerala’s dreamy backwaters, Gujarat’s colourful culture, the mysterious charm of the Northeast, and the turquoise waters of Lakshadweep — so many places, so little time!
Some cities have already been my home, some I’ve explored as a tourist, and others are still waiting patiently on my travel wishlist. I intend to get to them eventually. No promises about the timeline, though. Life has its own itinerary, and it rarely asks for my approval!
My ideal trip? A long road journey with beautiful landscapes rolling past the windows, unexpected stops, local delicacies that make me forget every diet plan I ever considered, and a little shopping along the way. 😜
And honestly, have you seen the sheer variety India has to offer? Snow-covered mountains, golden deserts, lush green forests, sunny beaches, ancient forts, magnificent temples, colourful festivals, and charming little towns with stories waiting to be discovered.
Then comes the food! Kolkata’s kathi rolls, Hyderabad’s biryani, Mumbai’s street food, Gujarat’s farsan, and South India’s crispy dosas. Every region brings something different to the table, quite literally! And shopping? Let’s just say I might return with wonderful memories, but my luggage could need some extra space. 😂
And when the road ends? Well, there’s always a flight! I’m adventurous, not unreasonable.
Travel: Exploring the Beauty of India
Of course, international trips are welcome too. I’m not going to turn down a passport stamp! But for now, my heart has plenty of unfinished travel plans right here in India.
My dream is to explore India, one road trip at a time — with a curious heart, a hungry stomach, comfortable shoes, and enough luggage to suggest that I’m relocating permanently. 😂
Because travelling, for me, isn’t just about reaching a destination. It’s about the stories collected along the way, the unexpected discoveries, the flavours that linger in my memory, and those beautiful views that make me forget to check my phone.
From scenic road trips to hidden gems waiting to be discovered, there’s always something new around the next bend. Honestly, how can one ever run out of places to explore in a country as beautiful and diverse as India? ❤️🦋
So, while I’m still figuring out which part of India to explore next, one thing is certain: my travel bucket list is long enough to keep me happily occupied for years!
Tell me, what’s at the top of your travel bucket list? And if it’s India, which place would you send me to first? ❤️
