While our cities are getting noisier, there are many serene and harmonious corners in our huge, huge, beautiful country.

World Tourism Day 2024, coming up on September 27, is about peace this time.

'Tourism and Peace' is the theme, as per a United Nations announcement and how travel brings peace because it brings understanding. Sustainable development and sustainable tourism follow from this theme.

Peaceful places always have an enchanting connection with their environment and an unspoken agreement with Nature.

Which are the most tranquil locations you have been to in India?
