3 Most Coveted Beach Destinations in India

In the multihued country of India, there is no dearth of gorgeous beaches; some highly coveted and some lesser-known. But one thing common for most of them is that they are awesomely beautiful and offer the visitors a delightful amalgamation of sea, sand and surf. Travellers in hordes take holidays’ packages to these stunning beaches to leave behind their mundane worries or have a gala time before they turn their heels back.

Goa: When it comes to popular beach holidays in India amongst international tourists, this tiny Indian state scores over the majority, or perhaps all. An endearing entourage of beautiful beachside, some vibrant and some tranquil, make it a favourite haunt of travellers seeking fun-filled packages for holidays. Besides, Goa is a great place for those who wish to witness some colonial landmarks and catholic churches in India. 

Kerala: Though serene backwaters and surreal hills are the main highlights of Kerala packages, the state has no dearth of stunning beaches that welcome holidaymakers with superb blend of sea, sun and sand. Kovalam and Varkala are some of the most amazing venues that always cast on visitors a magical spell. Cochin, Kozikhode and Cherai are also some places which entice ‘sand-surf’ fanatics to book Kerala holidays in India.

Andaman: Andaman has emerged as one of the top seaside destinations for international tourists in the subcontinent. It may look a tad remote, located in the heart of the Bay of Bengal, but holiday packages to this place are widely available because of its increasing popularity as a fantastic destination. Radhanagar and Corbyn’s Cove are some places in Andaman where you can really see the sea at its best mood.

A Weakened Rupee Makes India Holidays Cheaper

The weakened Indian Rupee seems to have placed India among the top searched holiday destinations on the internet and the country’s influx of foreign travellers is likely to get triggered soon, owing mainly to the cheaper hotel deals.

Sources reveal that the devaluation of Indian currency has sparked off the enquiries by foreign travellers for bookings in relatively expensive Indian hotels for the peak season. These mid-segment travellers earlier visited the country only during the off season to score cheap flights and cheap accommodation options.

Sources indicate that Southeast Asian countries and London are amongst the regions that have shown noticeable rise in the enquiries for holidays and flights to India.

A number of mid-level international travellers have already started making advance bookings with airlines for cheap flights to India for peak season holiday break that lasts from October to February.

On the other hand, the depreciation in the rupee has made the outbound Indian holidaymaker’s feel somewhat gloomy, many of whom might have to settle for cheaper destinations such as those in Far-East or the Gulf instead of Europe or the US.

Unsurprisingly, many Indian travellers would restrict themselves to the neighbouring destinations such as Colombo and Kathmandu. The possibility of many taking a cheap domestic holiday tour or a staycation is also quite high.

While, for the time being, the Rupee fiasco may have balanced the equation in favour of the foreign tourists to India, experts believe that by the end or the fiscal year, the Rupee may appreciate significantly against Dollar.

Whatever be the case, Britons have a great opportunity at the moment to net some great deals to travel to India during the peak season.
