  • Pangot

Located just 15 km from Nainital, Pangot is a small picturesque village famous for its thick jungles, diverse flora and fauna, and quiet walking trails.

This place is also regarded as Punjab’s Taj Mahal. If you love exploring the history of a place, you can visit here to learn about Punjab’s glorious past by taking a short tour around Pul Kanjari. 

  • Kumbalangi

Another fascinating place to visit in South India is Kumbalangi. Although this place is India’s first ecotourism village, most people are not aware of it, and hence the place stays quiet and calm throughout the year. You can book the top family suite in Kumbalangi, like Collection O 82588 safe hotel, and experience the enchanting views of this location. You can watch the golden sunset in the backwaters while visiting Kumbalangi. 

  • Dausa

Dausa is the best place to experience ancient Rajasthan. It is one of the top offbeat destinations near Delhi. If you love exploring India’s history, you can visit this Rajasthani village on Independence day weekend. This place is believed to have had rulers like Badgurjars and Chouhans who ruled over Rajasthan during the 10th century A.D. An interesting fact about this place is that Mahadev encircles it from Sahajnath, Nilkanth, Baijnath, Somnath, and Gupteshwar directions. 

You can make reservations by searching for a ‘family lodge near me’ like OYO 5550 Jaipur stays or OYO HOME 82670 Sahariya Marriage Garden for a stay and exploring these historical facts with your family. Dausa has incredible architectural beauty that will make your weekend trip here worthwhile.  

  • Chembra Peak

Trekking enthusiasts can visit Chembra peak on the Independence day long weekend getaway. This place is considered the top peak at Wayanad and features an incredible view of flora and fauna.

Once you have made your choice, pack your bags and get ready to have a memorable time with family or friends in these unseen corners of India on the coming Independence Day long weekend.
