t's that small measure of peace we all look for, but very few of us find. If you're looking for peace and introspection, here's a list of 20 places in India that you can visit to help discover your true being.

9. Havelock Islands, Andaman & Nicobar

Visiting an island is quite rare for most Indians. But the beaches and the quiet life at Havelock and the surprisingly less use of technology shows how simple life can be. It's like travelling back to the '90s. If you want to get away from your phone and laptop, this is the place to be!

10. Auroville, Tamil Nadu

Hailed as the City of Dawn, Mira Alfassa - the mother of Auroville - said in her first public message: "Auroville is meant to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity." Isn't that reason enough to experience a place like this and find our part in it?
