If you wish to live in a palace built on a lake, Udaipur is the place for you. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? Well, North India awaits you, my friend.

 
 

Hills

To say that India is beautiful would be the understatement of the century. Its magical! And the hill stations play a huge role in making North India what it is today - the epitome of beauty and splendour. “The Queen of Hills” - Shimla is the ideal place for you if you are looking for solace and some cuddling with nature. While Shimla is the go-to destination for hill stations, there are also plenty other choices for you like Kullu-Manali, fondly called the “Gateway to Heaven”. Its breath-taking views give you reason enough to believe that it is truly heaven on Earth. Winter season welcomes you with exhilarating ice-skating the you should definitely give a try. Dharamshala, the home of the famous Dalai Lama, the enchanting Nainital, the Yoga Capital Rishikesh are some of the other hill stations that explains why hill stations are a source of pride for us Indians.
 
 

Religious Inclination

India is a secular country in its every aspect and thus, it's quite natural that every religion gets a fair share of its religious institutions in the country. North India is famous for the same thing. It's a place where religion and beauty come together in the most extra ordinary manner. Varanasi, the oldest inhabited city in the world is like a crown set in the heart of North India. Open cremations are performed on the banks of Ganga and surprisingly, this exact thing is what attracts tourists from all over the world. This is a city which awakens your inner spirituality and is an oppurtune place for introspection. North India also has the honor of having the largest mosque in India – the Jama Masjid in Delhi.  From the alluring church of North India to the pious Golden Temple in Amritsar, as I said, North India is famous for a divine blend of elegance and spirituality.
