Wear your best shoes, carry enough water and snacks and you’re good to go right here! Irshalgad is a fort located between Matheran and Panvel to be seen only after a trek of 6.5 kms out and back, but it’s all WORTH IT. It’s a fantastic sight to watch, especially in the monsoons. Imagine having a cup of hot tea with a view like this *starry-eyed*!

3. Munsiyari, Uttarakhand

One of the most undiscovered and underrated gems of North-East India, the vibe of this place is gonna transport you to some other dimension.

It’s a peace-seeker’s paradise as a quaint old town in Arunachal Pradesh and is home to a unique tribal group. Also, don’t miss out on the Ziro festival of Music where independent artists come to showcase their exquisite talent!
