Forget European visas and spending millions! These 7 corners of India give the same feeling

Whenever it comes to travelling, Europe tops our dream list. The snowy valleys of Switzerland, the canals of Venice and the beautiful streets of France… who wouldn’t want to go there?

But to fulfill these dreams, a big bank balance, long holidays and visa hassles are necessary. But what if we tell you that you don’t need to go out of the country to get the beauty and feel of Europe? Yes, there are some such magical places in India itself, seeing which you will forget for a moment whether you are in India or Europe.

So next time you plan to travel, before spending lakhs, definitely take a look at these ‘mini Europe’ of India.

1. If you dream of Switzerland then go to Kashmir
There is no doubt why Kashmir is called ‘Paradise on Earth’. High snow covered mountains all around, lush green valleys, and calm lakes… the view here is in no way less than Switzerland. Be it skiing in Gulmarg or Shikara ride in Dal Lake, the beauty of Kashmir will win your heart.

2. If you want fun like the canals of Venice, then come to ‘Alleppey’ of Kerala.
Venice is known for its canals and floating houses. You will get the same experience in Alappuzha, which is called the ‘Venice of the East’ of Kerala. The experience of staying in a houseboat on the calm backwaters here is one to remember for a lifetime. Coconut trees, greenery and the music of slow waves of water all around… it is no less than heaven.

3. The streets of Pondicherry remind of France
If you have your heart set on the colorful and artistic cities of France, then you will fall in love with the ‘French Quarter’ of Pondicherry. Beautiful yellow and pink buildings, people cycling on old streets and cute cafes… you will never feel like you are in India even for a moment.

4. If you want lush green views like Scotland, then look at Coorg.
Scotland is famous for its lush green mountains, mist and coffee plantations. You will find all this beauty in the ‘Scotland of India’ i.e. Coorg, Karnataka. Coffee and spice plantations spread far and wide, mist shrouding the mountains and cool breeze, Coorg will take you to a different world.

5. Even Greece pales in comparison to the blue sea of ​​Andaman
Greece is known for its blue waters and white sandy beaches. But any beach in the world can pale in comparison to the beauty of Havelock and Neil Islands of Andaman and Nicobar. The crystal-clear blue waters, magnificent coral reefs and tranquil atmosphere will leave you spellbound.

6. Experience Arabia in the Thar Desert
If you dream of a ‘desert safari’ in Dubai or the Arabian desert, then the Thar Desert of Rajasthan is for you. Camel ride in Jaisalmer, sunset view over the sand dunes and enjoying Rajasthani music and food at night in the camp… it is a royal experience.

7. ‘Auli’ of Uttarakhand is the mini Switzerland of India.
In winter, when Auli is covered with a white blanket of snow, its beauty is worth seeing. This is one of the best skiing destinations in India. The snowy slopes here and the views of the Himalayas all around will remind you of Switzerland, that too at a very low cost.
