Dhanushkodi, Tamil Nadu

Known as the 'Ghost Town', Dhanushkodi is situated 620 kms from Bangalore, on the southern tip of Pamban Island in Tamil Nadu. Around 50 years ago, the deserted island was wiped out by a powerful cyclone, leaving structures ruined. In the serene surroundings and a resplendent view of the Indian Ocean meeting the Bay of Bengal, Dhanushkodi intrigues with its enchanting beauty, mythological stories, and interesting legends.

Landour, Dehradun

Away from the maddening noise, Landour is a perfect weekend-getaway. Explore the city on feet, through the sharp and steep curves of the hill, with a backdrop of beautiful deodars and red rhododendron flowers. Take a stroll through the Landour bazaar and visit the residence of Captain Young, the man who discovered Mussoorie.
