However, going on a trip involves meticulous planning and budgeting, right from deciding on some fun resorts to choosing the best destinations to visit. Here is a list of the top ten destinations and nearby friends and family resorts in India that can make your experience memorable.

Top 10 Destinations In India Perfect For Your Road Trip With Friends

India has some of the most spectacular road trip destinations, such as Ladakh and Manali. You would have seen these scenic places on social media or in certain Bollywood movies. Nowadays, planning your road trips and vacations has become much easier with affordable and comfortable hotels across India. Here we have curated the top ten road trip destinations for you to visit in India.

1. Leh Ladakh, Kashmir

You must have come across several trending Ladakh trip videos on social media and have always saved them to your wish list. This is the chance for you to explore the mountains and valleys of Kashmir. Any traveller’s road trip to Ladakh is the most challenging yet memorable and thrilling experience. It has such breathtaking views that could give you an adrenaline rush.

After a tiring bike ride around the breathtaking roads of Ladakh, you can stay at a nearby family room hotel. OYO Flagship 92709 Ats Inn is the closest hotel that offers best-in-class amenities and top-notch services.

2. Manali, Himachal Pradesh

Want to recreate ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ with your friends? Manali, Himachal Pradesh, has been featured in numerous Bollywood films due to its almost paradisiacal beauty and breathtaking landscapes. Manali is renowned for its unending adventure opportunities, the famous Hadimba Temple, the picturesque Rohtang Pass and the snow-covered Solang Valley. You can easily search for ‘family hotels near me‘ and get a comfortable stay at OYO, like OYO 15129 Hotel Surbhi.

3. Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

The Hindu Char Dham pilgrimage, which includes stops in Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, begins in Rishikesh. The city is one of the top tourist attractions in India, known for its beauty, spirituality and fun resorts. It is the ideal location for camping and picnics with friends. Rafting in the River Ganga will bring unforgettable excitement and thrills.

Camping is a viable option for you while you are in Rishikesh; however, if you are travelling with a larger group, that might not be feasible, so why not stay in a resort? OYO 30598 Hotel Rudra Palace is a good resort in Rishikesh, which provides you and your friends with a comfortable and cosy stay.

4. Andaman and Nicobar Island

Do you recall the underwater scene from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara? That is indeed what you can encounter on Andaman Island. A completely new world lies beneath the crystal-clear blue ocean and the white sand beaches. If you are planning a summer vacation, what could be more exciting than scuba diving? The top diving sites here are Mac Point (6-15 Meters, All Levels), LightHouse (6-20 Meters, All Levels), and Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep).

5. Jaipur, Rajasthan

Are you looking for amazing sightseeing places near Delhi? India’s “pink city,” Jaipur, is the perfect place for a trip. Tourists come to Jaipur for its countless fairs and festivals, unique tourist attractions, back alley market shopping, and, most importantly, to visit its impressive forts and palaces.

The top things to see in Jaipur include the City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and Hawa Mahal. Jaipur travel would definitely require you to walk a lot around the corners of the city. Visiting various places and travelling can be hectic, which is why OYO 69690 Hotel Green Wood is a convenient place to stay.

6. Goa

Goa is one of the most popular friend group destinations for youngsters. Goa is a fiery concoction of fun and excitement that is hard to resist. A dynamic environment is created by the area’s lively flea markets, breathtaking beaches, dining options, risk-taking water sports, and hopping clubs and pubs. Goa is the place to be if you enjoy adventure, travel, relaxation, partying, and beaches.

7. Lonavala, Maharashtra

Are you planning for a short break or a weekend trip? Then Lonavala is the best spot for you and your friends. This hill town often referred to as the “Jewel of Sahyadri” and the “City of Caverns,” features stunning valleys and a spectacular landscape. A road trip to Lonavala with friends strengthens relationships and creates enduring memories that will keep your life fascinating.

8. Pondicherry

One cannot overlook Pondicherry because it is the gem of South India. This location is ideal for hot, humid summers and cool seaside breezes at night. There are numerous serene beaches in Pondicherry, but just a few are Promenade Beach, Paradise Beach, Serenity Beach, and Auro Beach. Additionally, to be ready and fully energetic for the next day of your trip, you can choose good family hotels in Pondicherry, such as OYO 19906 Hotel Bliss Inn, to unwind.

9. Nainital, Uttarakhand

The picturesque hill town of Nainital is located in the Himalayas in the lush foothills of the Kumaon ranges. The idyllic hill station, spectacular lakes, atmosphere, and stunning architecture of this location are well known. All that is required for history enthusiasts and serenity seekers is a vacation to Nainital with friends. During the summer, this location draws a significant number of visitors.
