While most of our earliest memories of holidays are with our parents, and what blissful memories they are, travelling becomes a process of learning as we grow older. As kids, we enjoyed nothing more than heading out of the city to sample the sights, bites and uniqueness of new lands. As we get older however, it becomes important to experience new places on your own or with your friends for several reasons. Some spots will scandalise, some will give them heart problems and some places are just best enjoyed alone, so for everyone's sake, leave your folks out of it!

9. Pondicherry

Head out of the city, find a clear stretch of sea (there's no dearth of them) and give Kovalam School a call to hook you up with a surfboard. Ride the waves till the sun goes down and then dance around a fire to get in touch with your wild side. Definitely don't want your folks to see that!

10. Lavasa

This might seem a little underwhelming but Lavasa does have one of the only sky-diving options available in India. It's really exciting but seems like something your parents wouldn't be too pleased about.
