Gokarna, i feel has the clamness and the beaches are just...❣️
upvoteUpvotemessageComment
Goa is a beach State of India filled with innumerable beaches besides forts, getaways and monuments to explore. On the other hand Gokarna is called as a place to visit if you have seen enough of Goa. Being a beach town, you are not short of beaches, nature, seafood to explore. I would suggest Goa, but if you have visited enough of Goa then Gokarna would be my choice.

Nainital to Rishikesh is 9 hrs travel there are buses available which you can check via Yatra and goibibo and ixigo too. From Rishikesh to Mussoorie best way is taking a cab for its 1 hour drive. From Mussoorie Dehradun is 2 hours away. Next to Dehradun railway station there is a stop where buses come for Dehradun. Choose the route Yamunotri and bagkot to reach Dehradun. Else book a cab from Mussoorie to reach Dehradun.

Winter months. Anytime between December to March. February - March being the peak weather wise.

As Rajasthan is a very hot place so visiting in summer there might make to exhausted by the heat. Where as in visiting in winter may also not be the very perfect experience due to the cold and all that stuff , so it would be best to visit either it the starting of winters or the ending of winters so that you can have a proper experience of the place with traditional cold drinks and hot bonfire. Also the temperature is favorable to visit all the places you are wishing to.

No permission is needed to visit Dzukou valley however an Inner line permit is much needed to be obtained for Nagaland. This you should obtain from Kolkata or Guwahati.

Ladakh located between Karakoram ranges surrounded by Himalayas with Leh and Kargil nearby, it is a spot filled with abundant nature, cool weather and jaw dropping peaks. Summers are great in Ladakh Spiti on the other hand is known as trekking paradise which is completely surrounded by Himalayas. Summers pave way for trekking, mountain climbing and cool fresh air. I would suggest Ladakh though Spiti is also equally a lovely spot and must to visit.

Both Maldives and Andaman are equally good to visit but the Maldives has private islands for their tourists and Andamans is covered in every way with natural beauty.Maldives is an ideal destination for couples. And Andaman is cheaper than Maldives.

Maldives is an island very popular honeymoon, couple, tourist spot an archipelago filled with sandy beaches, lagoons and water villas. Andaman’s on the other hand is a virgin island tucked on the east coast of India, popular for sandy beaches and diving. Water sports is very popular here filled with light lovely beaches to view. My choice would be Maldives especially with forthcoming summer, where you get to experience cool waters blended with cool air. Cost wise Andaman travel is much economical than Maldives.
