India is a unique country that combines Culture and Modernization. In terms of landmass, the position of this country is 7th, and in population, the country is the 2nd largest. And the country lacks no lack of tourist places. My team has conducted deep research on the top 10 tourist spots in India.
1. Kashmir:
Whenever there is a mention of the best place to visit in India in March and April, Kashmir always tops the charts as it is literally the paradise on earth. Kashmir is a tourist favorite for its scenic splendor, snow-capped mountains, plentiful wildlife, exquisite monuments, and handicrafts. If you wish to cover Kashmir in its entirety, you must include Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonmarg, and Pahalgam in your trip. In Srinagar, you can take mesmerizing boat rides on Dal Lake and visit Mughal gardens like Nishad Bagh and Shalimar Bagh. If you are an adventure lover, Kashmir’s Gulmarg offers the world’s second-highest gondola ride to a mountain peak and the third-highest ski resort. You can also indulge in skiing, snowboarding, trekking, and other activities in Sonmarg or visit prominent attractions like Aru Valley and Betaab Valley in Pahalgam.

It’s an architectural masterpiece that was built more than 3.5 centuries ago by more than 20,000 workers.
