The Tsongmo Lake also known as Changu Lake is one of the most attractive tourist spots in Sikkim. The lake has snowy mountain slopes on either side and looks incredibly gorgeous even as the mist tries to hide its beauty.

Located in the easternmost part of this Himalayan state, the Changu Lake can be visited while returning from the Nathu La Pass in the Indo-China border.

This lake is a treat to the eyes that desperately looks forward to seeing nature’s marvels. The best time to visit the place would be between April and mid-June. During winters, the lake remains frozen and the road to this lake becomes difficult to access.

Enchanting beauty of these unexplored destinations in India will leave you mesmerised! Plan your vacation now

Planning a vacation this season? Try unexplored regions in the country like Dindi, a lazy village nestled on the intersection between the mighty Godavari River and the Bay of Bengal and Anaikatti, a green haven in the lap of the Nilgiris, says an expert.

Rajeev Menon, Chief Destination Officer, Sterling Holidays, a vacation ownership and leisure hospitality company, has shared four unexplored holiday destinations, which one can explore this season.

* Dindi: A slice of tropical heaven, Dindi is a lazy village nestled on the intersection between the mighty Godavari River and the Bay of Bengal. The mixing of salt and fresh water provides an excellent habitat for mangroves, in turn giving rise to exquisite plant and animal life. It is a mere two hours from Conringa Wildlife sanctuary, home to many endangered animals and birds including the curious fishing cat -- a tiger-like feline which swims and fishes.

* Yercaud: As you travel up the mountain ranges to Yercaud, exchange your worries for cool hills and tranquility. Yercaud is a mere five hour drive from Bangalore and a seven hour drive from Chennai. The town was established by the British in the late 19th century as a coffee plantation, and its cool, pleasant climate attracted missionaries. Yercaud's hilly, cool terrain makes it an ideal destination for trekking and dirt biking; both of which can be organised locally at nominal rates.

* Yelagiri: Get away from the hustle of Bangalore or Chennai and rejuvenate yourself with an experiential holiday in Yelagiri. It is a trekker's paradise, and you can hike to most of the local attractions, instead of driving. For instance, one can trek to the Jalagamparai Falls and bathe in them. The falls have medicinal properties because of the herbs that grow near the site. Other interesting trails include Perumadu waterfalls and Swamimalai Hill. Some of the less known but more exciting things to do at Yelagiri are paragliding at Kottur, Muthanoor and Raneri and visiting the Forest Department's Herbal Farm which houses and harvests rare herbs and medicinal plants on the edge of the picturesque Punganoor Lake.

* Anaikatti: Anaikatti is a quaint, lost in time place so remote, so untouched, that it doesn't even have a Wikipedia page! It is a green haven in the lap of the Nilgiris. The town is on the Tamil Nadu, Kerala border, an hour's drive from the famous Silent Valley. The Anaikatti district hosts the Nilgiri Biosphere reserve, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2012, famous for elephants.

This tiny hill-station in Maharashtra is an ideal monsoon destination

Though one can head to Matheran in any season, the monsoons add a distinctive charm to the tiny Maharashtra hill-station. Abundantly blessed by Mother Nature, Matheran’s beauty gets magnified when the clouds shower generously.

VIEW OF THE WESTERN GHATS FROM MATHERAN.

The hill-station is about 111 kilometres via Neral from Mumbai (India’s financial capital) and about 120 kilometres from Pune (Maharashtra’s cultural capital).

During the monsoons, one can find a thick canopy of clouds, waterfalls and lush green hilly slopes and fields. The misty view and the downpour will take you closer to nature.

The Charlotte Lake, the Alexander Point, The Monkey Point, the Echo point and the Panorama point are some of the places one can visit in Matheran.
