We don't all have the privilege of going abroad on a whim. Time and money are barriers that never let us experience all the wonders of the world. There is hope, however, because India has it's own set of places that reflect the essence of some of the world's nicest places down to a T. Check out some foreign places you can visit right here in India!

3. Pondicherry: The French Town

The architecture here reflects the stylings of the colonial times of the Portugese, Dutch and French. It's interesting to note the seamless transition of Tamil houses to French villas. Very quaint and very charming.

4. Alleppey: Watery Venice

With waterways being the main means of transport between houses and people, you don't need to book tickets to Venice to experience life as a water person.
