Year Ender 2024: Top 10 most searched travel hotspots in India you don't want to miss

Travel has always had a distinct fascination, serving as a portal to new experiences, cultures, and adventures for those looking to reconnect with the globe and discover new places outside of their daily routines. The overall travel outlook is changing dramatically, driven by post-pandemic recovery and a desire for tourist locations that offer authentic and meaningful experiences.

Notably, McKinsey recently reported that over 80% of travellers visit only 10% of the world's tourist attractions. In India, this is seen in the growing popularity of visiting alternative destinations in addition to regular tourist hubs.

In 2024, rapidly rising Caucasian countries such as Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Georgia will become increasingly popular tourist destinations for Indians.

The blending of influences from Europe and Asia, their unique cultures, breathtaking landscapes, rich and ancient civilisation history, and relatively low travel costs have all contributed to the increasing popularity of these destinations, attracting tourists from India and around the world.

Ayodhya, the holy city in Uttar Pradesh, India, has seen a major increase in popularity this year, owing mostly to the continuing construction of the Ram Temple, an important religious destination for Hindus.

Jaipur, Manali, Kashmir, and South Goa are well-established Indian tourist destinations, and their popularity is growing due to factors such as Jaipur's rich history and vibrant culture, Manali's adventure sports, Kashmir's breathtaking natural beauty, and South Goa's laid-back atmosphere and vibrant nightlife.

Here's the full list.
