The term Indian subcontinent is no anomaly , the country is extremely diverse in every aspect which can be thought with regards to the word "civilization". Nature has also magnanimously endowed the nation with a tapestry of hues, colors, formations and what not. Hence it is utterly impossible to cover Incredible India in one lifetime. It is no wonder that the people here believe in reincarnation. Still, one can do its own life-time a bit of justice towards satiating his wanderlust by visiting the drastically contrasting gifts of nature. Let's have a look at the contenders listed in random order, after all beauty is subjective in nature.
1. Rann of Kutch, Gujarat : The only salt flat in the country and one of the handful present in the world. It is truly the nature's mirror. One could've scarcely believed that the barren, unhospitable land devoid of vegetation could find a place on anyone's itinerary but the Rann Utsav with excellent road connectivity changed all that. The white desert as it is also known truly justifies its name. In my personal I would like to suggest that one should visit the Rann twice in a day , once during daylight to experience the horizon in HD and second in a moonlit night where the surface creates an illusion of the barren land of the moon itself.

2. Sunderbans, Bengal : The largest mangrove forest on the largest river delta of the world, the sunderbans are as beautiful as they are deadly, Picture this, you are sitting on a small boat where there exists a possibility of encountering an alligator or the royal bengal tiger, or both simultaneously. After-all where do you find such danger majestically enveloped in the hands of nature's lap of Sundari trees. Definitely plan a visit to India's answer to amazonian rainforests

3. Sam Sand Dunes, Rajasthan : Just say out aloud the word Rajasthan and one immediately pictures colorful folks strutting around their business over the sand dunes, This picture though mightn't hold true in any of the major cities of the state but here closer to Jaisalmer it is completely accurate. Just like Kutch, there are two options of traversing through the desert, on camelback and via a jeep safari. In order to absorb it fully go witness a sunset on camelback and behold the sunrise while sitting atop a crazily paced jeep ride. Also do drive a Thar while you are in Thar

4. Aleppy Backwaters, Kerala : Kerala has beautufully and deftly ingrained an image in the mind of every Indian of its association with sea and houseboats. Hence no-one raises an eyebrow when the state places itself strongly as one of the favored holiday destination in India by foreigners, and why not. After all Kerala truly deserves its place, while one is here one can truly enjoy the shade provided by the lush canopy of palm and coconut trees while one indulges in the gifts of ayurveda with a houseboat to call its own.

5. Chambal Beehad (Ravines), Madhya Pradesh: Probably the latest in the list of tourist attractions in this list, the area has only been recently opened up for public thanks to the extinction of the dacoit threat in the region. The river cuts through deep ravines, creates eccentric sand hills and mind-blowing geographical formation. Through in alligators and blind riverine dolphins along with a throng of aquatic life and you have truly a safari to remember,

6. Tawang Hills, Arunachal Pradesh: Tawang needs no introduction as it has now been entrenched firmly in the minds of travel-freaks of the country. For those who are pining to visit it once, let me add some more fire. Leaving apart the monastery and the calm which surrounds it, the hospitality of the locals and the fame it got from roadies, the scenic beauty of snow clad Himalayas is awe-inspiring which I'm not going to write much about as it will simply be a bunch of superlatives thrown together, The snowfall, chilly winds and hot steamy of bowl of Thukpa with majestic mountains ahead are breathtaking indeed

7. Ladakh, Kashmir : Hands-down one of the most talked-about destination in current scenario, Ladakh is truly a crown jewel, whether you want to peek-a-boo at thangkas, challenge yourself with a bike-journey of your life, stare at your reflection at the crystal clear lakes, the love for adventure, the innumerable passes, the picture-postcard worthy surroundings all make it a trip worth your lifetime, And yeah plan it with your friends.

8. Loktak Lake, Manipur: World's largest floating lake, containing the only floating national park, India's largest freshwater lake, the last home of the sangai or the brow antler deer, the exhibition of novel fishing techniques by means of Phumdis, tourist lodges smack in the middle of water, host to a multitude of endangered aviates, fauna and flora. Wait , I realized I will just keep on rambling, because there is so much uniquely specific to this ecosystem, make sure you obtain your Inner Line Permit at any of the Manipur Houses and pack your bags to visit this paradise

9. Jaintia Hill Caves, Meghalaya: Out of the top 10 deepest caves in India, 9 lie within the state of Manipur. For the adrenaline junkies in India , these caves with a great many areas still waiting to be explored are a must visit stop. After all who doesn't enjoy entering into an uncharted arena where the last footsteps of humans were centuries ago, if not at all. The exploration is undertaken for both academic and recreational purposes. Make sure you book your tour for cave exploration in advance as it is risky to venture out on your own

10. Dhanushkodi, Tamil Nadu: If travelling through a ghost town while sitting atop a broad wheeled trucked customized to wade through sand under a film of water with the open sea to both your sides is your thing, then Dhanushkodi is your place to be. Wait, you didn't know that such thing was ever possible? Of course, you've heard of its more famous cousin Rameshwaram, Sitting very close to it the place offers spectacular vistas of the Indian ocean
