Tulip Garden, Srinagar — Jammu & Kashmir: Witness a Riot of Colours

Happy travels.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Go for : A new island hotel and amazing outdoor adventures

For the longest time, a trip to the Andamans meant picking between homestays or the only premium boutique hotel on the island. That’s changed in the past few years, with resorts like Taj Exotica Resort & Spa and Jalakara . The most recent entrant to the mix is Tilar Siro , a CGH Earth outpost in Havelock Island (now, Swaraj Dweep). The 25-key property is breezy, green and immersive. You can learn about the island’s history and food, take scuba diving courses and enjoy guided walks through the dense rainforests. There’s a lot to do beyond Havelock, including sea safaris at Cinque Island and kayaking expeditions with stargazing thrown in. Take a day trip to Barren Island to visit India’s only active volcano or take a ferry to Little Andaman Island for pristine beaches and lagoons.  Arundhati Ail

Arittapatti, Tamil Nadu

Go for : Tamil Nadu’s first Biodiversity Heritage Site

A first for the state, Arittapatti village – roughly 230kms from Coimbatore – has been declared Tamil Nadu’s first and India’s 35th Biodiversity Heritage Site. As green spaces across the globe shrink, this move by the state government is a step towards a greener future and an attempt to preserve the unique landscape of rocky hills that supports 72 lakes, 200 natural spring ponds, and three reservoirs, apart from the 75 species of birds, raptor species, megalithic structures and rock-cut temples that date back 2,000 years in the area. While the state government prepares to build the area’s tourism potential, go before the crowds surge, to enjoy birdsong, gushing streams and a biodiverse ecosystem.  Smitha Menon

Go for: Cruises on the Brahmaputra River

Cruises across the mighty Brahmaputra River and an exploration of its riverine culture has thrown a new spotlight on Assam’s culture, history and biodiversity. These river cruises are offered both by Assam Tourism and by private operators like the Assam Bengal Navigation Company which have upped the ante on luxury travel with vessels that encapsulate the heritage and culture of the region and tours that provide a window into the history, culture and crafts of the state. The latest of these is the soon-to-be-launched Ganga Vilas Cruise, the world’s longest cruise from Varanasi to Assam via Bangladesh which will embark on its maiden voyage in January 2023. These cruises offer a unique perspective of the land from water and provide access to islands and national parks and include craft tours, local food experiences, tea garden trails, village walks, visits to age-old temples and a chance to see the Great Indian One Horned Rhino in the wild.  Diya Kohli

Arunachal Pradesh

Go for : The newfound accessibility, Ziro Festival, untouched nature

CNT Editors , CN Traveller

Olivia Morelli

Arunachal Pradesh is the ideal destination for a retreat into silence. Jaw-dropping sunsets take over the valleys here, more than 500 species of birds call the wooded landscape of this state their home and the gush of a hidden waterfall will be the only sound to break your chain of thought. Until now, the state’s natural beauty remained unexplored for the lack of accessibility. But in November 2022, the inauguration of the Donyi Polo airport opened gateways to the possibility of a novel getaway. With this airport located in Hollongi, some 15 km from Itanagar, travellers finally have direct access to the capital city and a new entry point into the state. Visit Tawang Monastery – the largest monastery in India – while you’re here, trek through the untouched fields of Bomdila or make plans to drop by for the Ziro Festival for a weekend of music and eco-conscious living against the stunning Himalayan backdrop.  Ria Gupta

Bengaluru, Karnataka

Go for : The Museum of Art & Photography, benne dosa, Cubbon Park promenade

Namma Bengaluru has something new to offer you every time you visit it. If you are an art lover, the city’s latest offering, the Museum of Art & Photography – which will go public in early 2023 – will open up a whole new world encompassing photographs, ancient and modern art, sculptures and textiles and more. Let the colours of contemporary artist Jangarh Singh Shyam’s  Portrait of a Barasingha  wash over you or marvel at the intricacies of the bronze sculptures from decades ago at the cultural space which is located in the heart of the city on Kasturba Road. Once you have had your art fill, head to the Airlines Hotel less than 500 metres away and enjoy a plate of crispy masala dosa with piping hot sambar, coconut chutney and a freshly brewed tumbler of filter coffee – all under a lush green tree canopy. Burn all of it off with a leisurely walk at Cubbon Park just a few metres away and head to the good old Blossom Book House or its newer, hipper contender, Champaca to pick up your next read.  Sneha Kanchan

Belur and Halebid, Karnataka

Go for : The sacred temples of the Hoysala Empire – India’s official nomination for the  UNESCO World Heritage Site tag in 2022-23

Why should you visit 12th-century temples in 2023? For starters, these magnificent structures about 200kms from Bengaluru are intricately carved and shockingly well-preserved reminders of the Hoysala dynasty, a secular family – that receives less attention from history lovers as compared to the Vijayanagar Empire’s Hampi – that ruled across the Deccan region from 1006 to about 1346 CE. The Hoysaleswara temple in Halebid, which loosely translates to old capital or ruined city, demonstrates how the rulers of yore encouraged the intermingling of religions and ideologies: the structure follows the Shaivism tradition but includes themes and motifs from Vaishnavism and Shaktism, along with images from Jainism. Inside, painstakingly hand-carved sculptures depict scenes from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Bhagavata Purana. Along with this temple, the nearby Kesava temple in Belur has also been proposed to be listed under the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The ensembles blend Dravidian-style design with Bhumija and Nagara traditions of temple architecture from central and northern India, respectively.  SM

Go for : New hotels and restaurants and the Goa Carnival

Spanish tapas at Mystras in Assagao, a taste of spiced Indian fare at Juju in Colva and cocktails and mushroom cakes at Fig & Maple – these are only some of the new delights on Goa’s burgeoning food and drink scene. Helming the revolution of South Indian cuisine in Goa is the newly opened Hosa, a Portuguese-styled outpost set up by Rohit Khattar of Indian Accent, Comorin and Koloman. With JW Marriott’s new property slated to pop up in Vagator next year, there’s ample to keep you hooked to the sunny state. For a taste of the spirit of Goa, make sure you witness the processions of the Goa Carnival 2023. Come February , the streets of Panjim, Mapusa, Margao and Vasco will come alive with dancers, acrobats, musicians and the escorts that tail the carnival’s King Momo. It’s the time of year when pranksters come knocking on doors, street plays celebrate the art of mockery and everyone unites for the love of food, drink and merriment. Don’t leave without taking back a souvenir in the form of one of the many homegrown spirits coming out of the state.  RG

Hanle, Ladakh

Go for : India’s first Dark Sky Reserve, Hanle Monastery

Experience a starry night like never before at Hanle, a picturesque hamlet in Ladakh. Hanle is set to be the main character in India’s astronomical tourism story as the site for the country’s first Dark Sky Reserve which will be operational by early 2023. Situated 4,500 metres above sea level as part of the Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary, the reserve aims to lower light pollution for better observation of the inky night sky dotted with stars and planets. Once there, do not forget to visit the 17th-century Hanle Monastery located on a hilltop for some inner peace and a panoramic view of the village and its unique landscape.  SK

Jaipur, Rajasthan

Go for : Safaris, the Jaipur Literature Festival and new hotel and bar openings

Safari enthusiasts can now go on a leopard game drive just 30 minutes away from Jaipur city. In May 2022, the Rajasthan state government opened up the Amargarh Leopard Reserve, which sprawls across 1,524 hectares and is home to 16 cats and 250 species of birds. Besides the leopard, keep your eyes peeled for hyenas, jackals, wild cats, foxes, civets, nilgai, sambar and birds including peacocks, parakeets and woodpeckers. Amagarh is also home to an 18th-century fort built by Maharaja Jawai Singh II. Time your visit to one of India’s most exciting literature festivals. The Jaipur Literature Fest is slated to take place from 19 to 23 January and will feature speakers like Anthony Sattin and Sudha Murty. Stay at the newly opened Villa Palladio , a nine-room boutique hotel that looks straight out of a jewel box, from the duo behind the famous Bar Palladio. For a drink, check out Johri & Sons, a slick new bar concocting smashing cocktails with a twist, and a side of ker sangri samosas and roomali khakra. It’s a fitting end to a day spent in the wilderness.  Shradha Shahani

Srinagar, India

Go for: New infrastructure for easier road tripping, elevated nature retreats

Srinagar, an alluring and once hard-to-visit destination in the Kashmir Valley, is opening up to travellers in a big way in 2023, with new roadways making it easier than ever to get in and around.

In the heart of the Kashmir Valley, the gem of Srinagar – with its winding waterways and colourful houseboats – is equally alluring and challenging to plan a visit to. Yet the destination seems to be shifting gears, with the government greenlighting development projects that will benefit travellers.

Srinagar has some vibrant new openings:  Karan Mahal , a swanky, intimate stay in the historic residence of Kashmir’s former rulers and amid nearly 60 acres of orchards and woods, launched last year, while  Qayaam Gah , a stylish, Sufi-inspired nature retreat in the Zabarwan Hills, with unfettered bird’s-eye views of Dal Lake, opened this summer. Additionally, Indian Hotels Company Limited (also behind the Taj Hotels) will bring its affordable brand, Ginger Hotels , to Srinagar in the first half of 2023.

The capital is also about to get a boost in accessibility, with a spate of highways and tunnels planned to open in 2023 that will, among other connections, make it easier to drive from Kashmir – across breathtaking landscapes – to neighbouring Ladakh, even in winter. Other side trips that will be easier to reach, thanks to the new infrastructure: Sonamarg (which translates to “golden meadow”), a stunning hill station that is poised for substantial tourism development in the years to come, and Pahalgam, an idyllic getaway that has long drawn travellers to its pastoral charms. The latter will see, in early 2023, the opening of  Shepherd’s Barn , a cottage stay by Ramneek Kaur (whose family owns the Bollywood-favourite Pahalgam Hotel), which will add rooms to an existing program of craft tours and local activities under the auspices of the Shepherd Crafts Cultural Centre. With so much change underfoot, there is no better time to experience the area – and before everyone else starts to do the same. Saumya Ancheri

Jeypore, Odisha

Go for: New trekking trails

Amid the heritage structures and urban strongholds of Odisha, Jeypore poses as a fine repository of all things natural. From caves hidden in the depths of forests to bold waterfalls, there’s ample to see and discover here. Thanks to the local administration’s efforts, one of its key areas – the Nakti Dangar hill of Jeypore’s Pangi forest reserve – will soon have a designated trail route for travellers. This means that you will now be able to navigate through the wild at a height of 1,400 metres. On the way, you can spot various endangered species such as the Jeypore Hill Gecko. The project is expected to be completed towards the end of 2023 and will present a resting stop at the top of the hill to complement the trail. The city also packs within it a host of cultural outposts. Think temples, palaces and the forts that let you in on the city’s past as a trading hotspot – all surrounded by the Eastern Ghats and blanketed in a cool breezy climate.  RG

Kochi, Kerala

Go for : Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Chinese fishing nets, history lessons

Come December , the bright bylanes of fort Kochi will don different expressions of art as Kochi-Muziris Biennale returns physically after a brief pandemic-induced hiatus. The Biennale, an international contemporary art exhibition, will spill into the next year and end in April 2023 with installations and events set up in and around several locations of the scenic Fort Kochi. Be sure to set a couple of days aside to cover as many locations and artworks as you can while taking in the beauty of the place and its architecture on foot. For the history buffs, there are the 16th-century Mattancherry Palace built by the Portuguese and the Paradesi Synagogue in Jew Town that will momentarily transport you back to that era. As the sun sets, Chinese fishing nets will beckon you with a lively and fun fish auction experience.  SK

Go for : The coast’s newest surf school and beach zipline in Devgad

In 2021, the Chipi Parule Airport in Sindhudurg was finally inaugurated after a wait of more than 20 years. This year brought another reason to visit the Konkan coast. Adventure company Flying Konkan has launched the very first Board Surfing School on the coast at the Devgad and Taramburi beaches. At the Flying Konkan Surfing School, beginners and experienced surfers are welcome to catch some waves. The coast at Devgad (about 100km from Ratnagiri, towards Goa) is less crowded and less explored than most shores, creating an ideal atmosphere for slow, leisurely surfing. Waves are typically 3-5ft in April and can reach 10ft in May. If you’re not interested in surfing, you can enjoy the school’s very own coastal zipline over the beach.  AA

Kuno, Madhya Pradesh

Go for: The comeback of cheetahs, vibe with the wild

When you draw up your travel calendar for 2023, do not forget to squeeze in a quick trip to the centre of the country for a very special reason. Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park recently became home to cheetahs that have made a comeback in India seven decades after being declared extinct. By 2023, you should get a chance to spot the Namibian cheetahs (all eight of them if you’re lucky!) roaming in all their spotted glory in the lap of the Vindhyas at Kuno. If the cheetahs are elusive, you can always hop onto a safari jeep and let the park’s flora and fauna – with close to 30 mammals, 200 birds and 14 species of fish – whisk you away from the fast-paced city life.  SK

Mumbai, Maharashtra

Go for : Lollapalooza, Van Gogh 360 and the exciting sports scene

There are ample reasons to visit the city of dreams on any given day. It could be for the serendipity of catching your favourite stars shooting in the middle of Kala Ghoda, or for the miraculous urban forest where leopards roam in midst of all things manmade. But in the coming year, some never-before moments will accentuate the bustling little world that is Mumbai. Chicago’s international music festival Lollapalooza ( 28-29 January 2023 ) is making its Asia debut in the city in 2023. Indigenous artists such as AP Dhillon, Prateek Kuhad, Bombay Brass and others will share the space with international hit bands Imagine Dragons, Cigarettes After Sex, Zhu and Diplo. While you’re here for the love of music, also head to Van Gogh 360 (20 January to 17 February 2023), an immersive art experience that’ll display 300 artworks by the Dutch painter in a never-before setting. The floors and ceilings of Mumbai’s World Trade Centre will be drenched in colour, complemented by audio-visual elements for a dreamy experience. 2023 is also a big year for sports in the country. With India hosting the 2023 ICC World Cup, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is expected to run at least a few of the matches on the roster.  RG

Go for : Offroading, the Hornbill Festival

In a spur to promote off-roading tourism in Nagaland, the state’s government has been urging travellers to head off the beaten track. Nagaland Offroad, an initiative by the Government of Nagaland with Wander Beyond Boundaries, encourages travel beyond the conventional destinations of Kohima and Dimapur. This is a land where between the slush and ridges, local communities welcome you with open arms and a jungle of wilderness awaits exploration. As part of the initiative, you can stay in local homestays, eat at regional restaurants and discover craft shops on your way. You can choose a track across 13 districts, each presenting unique topographies, flora and fauna and local culture to interact with. After a brief hiatus, the famous Hornbill Festival held near Kohima also sprung back in 2021. If you haven’t yet, watch the tribes of Nagaland display the best of their traditions in wrestling matches, bamboo festivals, walkathons, heritage walks, loin loom events and more.  RG

Pune, Maharashtra

Go for : The indie food scene

Butchers, brewers, bakers and even candlemakers: this hip city is home to all. Pune has a combination of things going for itself like its proximity to Mumbai, affordable housing and a laidback but driven attitude. This chill vibe has since attracted young working professionals and entrepreneurs looking to start up in a city that has access to green open spaces and an audience that wants the coolth of Mumbai minus its hustle. Feeding this community is a crop of food folks hungry for more. There’s Dohiti, which churns not just warm, flaky croissants out but also cinnamon rolls with local ingredients like jaggery and finger millet and swaps blueberry for the local kokum (Garcinia indica) in cheesecakes; Niket Drego of The Daily Cut, which focuses on small-batch experimental cold cuts such as vindaloo chorizo, and WeIdliwale, a restaurant and delivery kitchen that zooms into regional cuisine from Karnataka. Tipplers have a range of options to choose from as well: craft brewery Great State Aleworks collaborates with farmers for new brews while others like Yavasura, Kimaya Brewing Co., Doolally and Moonshine Meadery, believed to be Asia’s first meadery, are all based out of the city. Experimental food pop-ups with brewers, chefs, bakers and mixologists add to the inventive dine-out scene.  SM

Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

Go for : A truly luxurious wellness circuit

Rishikesh, often referred to as the birthplace of yoga, became a port of call this year for travellers looking to meld wellness with classic luxury. Vana, a wellness retreat near Dehradun, Uttarakhand, announced a rebrand as Six Senses Vana that offers everything from a four-day fast fix-up to complete detoxification of body and mind during a month-long Ayurvedic Panchakarma retreat. At Ananda in the Himalayas , situated around a restored Maharaja's palace in the hills above Rishikesh, guests can pick from Eastern healing philosophies – Ayurveda, Vedanta, yoga – blended with Western techniques. And Taj Rishikesh , which sprawls over 12.5 acres of lush gardens on the slopes of the Garhwali Himalayas along the banks of river Ganga offers spa treatments influenced by the characteristics of the mighty river. Think sensitivity, calm, energy, generosity and strength.  SM

Santiniketan, West Bengal

Go for : The Baul Festival, art, culture and Rabindranath Tagore

Santiniketan, home to the acclaimed Viswa Bharati University and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, is a hub of literature, art and culture in West Bengal. This prestigious university, set up by Tagore in 1921, was an extension of the ashram and school started by his father Maharishi Debendranath Tagore. Envisioned as a space of learning, scholarship and propagation of the arts, the university is the green heart of the town of Bolpur and it is surrounded by the idyllic surrounds of the Birbhum countryside, complete with picturesque rivers, red earth and forests of mango, sal and golden acacia trees. Its history and heritage structures are likely to be inscribed into the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2023. These include the stunning Kanch Mandir, a prayer hall made of Belgian glass and the Kala Bhavana or fine arts faculty with sculptures, frescos and murals by its illustrious faculty including modern Indian art and sculpture pioneers Nandalal Bose and Ramkinkar Baij. Unhurried tours on foot or cycle rickshaw allow visitors to take it all in and stop for an occasional tea break at any of the charming cafes in the area. Apart from Tagore’s own enterprise and its legacy in his poetry and songs, Santiniketan also straddles the region’s folk culture, food and craft – from baul musicians to local food and cotton weaving – all of which are showcased in community-run spaces and weekly fairs or haats under the trees. Visit between winter and spring to participate in the Poush mela (December), the Baul mela (January) and the Basanta Utsav (March) – where songs reverberate through the land and men and women dance in joyous celebration.  DK

Go for : New hotels, cherry blossoms, music and food festivals

If you consider nature a luxury, there was never a dearth of luxury in Shillong. The Meghalayan capital, with its pink winter and green trekking trails, holds an abundance of wild escapades. But to add to that, the state-owned Crowborough Hotel also opened its doors as Vivanta Meghalaya in September 2022. Being Meghalaya’s first five-star property, this hotel is the state’s first take on a luxury getaway. The next big thing on the cards is the opening of Courtyard by Marriott next year. Travellers will now have a host of stay options for when they visit to explore the city’s indie rock scene or wild forests. While you’re here, catch the Shillong Autumn Festival as the banks of Umiam Lake turn into a hub of local food, crafts and music, and watch the landscape bloom with flowers at the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival. Save an extra day and drive 20 km to Umbir, where every November, the eco-friendly Hills Festival presents an opportunity to camp under the stars, learn about local foraging and feast on local cuisine.  RG

Tons Valley, Uttarakhand

Go for : Idyllic mountain views and a truly local experience

After setting up an online shop in 2020 to enable city dwellers to buy produce like fresh apples and kidney beans from farmers based in rural Uttarakhand, the Tons Shop is under threat, due to a rise in shipping prices. One way to help bring capital back to the locals in the idyllic rolling hills and lush green valleys of Uttarakhand is to sign up for a trail of Tons, organised by Tons Trails , a social enterprise promoting sustainable tourism in the region. In the spring, instead of crowding Dehradun, tourists can follow nomads into mystical grasslands, drink from glacial streams and learn about seasonal flowers and medicinal plants via a tour led by locals.  SM

Udupi, Karnataka

Go for : a new pet-friendly homestay, birdwatching and untouched beaches

Most people would associate the word "Udupi" with India's many Udupi restaurants—a genre of restaurants across Indian cities serving South Indian classics like idlis, vadas, dosas and more. But there's a lot more to the region in Karnataka. About an hour's drive from Mangaluru, Udupi is home to several vibrant temples, the most popular of which is the Udupi Sri Krishna Temple. In 2022, travelling pet parents Priyanka Jena and Tanveer Taj set up Praana Experience , their three-bedroom homestay, on a parcel of land right by the sea in the district. The homestay also has a studio home that recently opened for long-term rentals. You're welcome to bring your pets, of course, and there are chirping birds and sounds of sea waves to keep you company. An observatory within and a forest close by allow for some quiet birdwatching and you could spot hornbills and peacocks. There are more than a few beaches to explore – Maravanthe, Mattu and Malpe are closest – and most are crowd-free and pristine.  AA

India’s luxury trains

Go for : a timeless travel experience

After a temporary halt due to Covid-19, two of India’s most luxurious trains are set to be back in action. The carriages of Rajasthan’s Palace on Wheels, launched in 1982, were once those of the maharajas and nizams. The eight-day journey starts in Delhi and takes you to all the best sights of Rajasthan, from the palaces of Udaipur and Jaipur to the nature and wildlife of Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, before heading to Agra for the iconic Taj Mahal. The Deccan Odyssey, which is likely to restart operations in 2023, is counted among the world’s most opulent trains. Pick from six-week-long journeys that go through Maharashtra, Ranthambore National Park, Goa, Hyderabad, Gujarat or Agra. You will, of course, be well taken care of onboard both trains, at the massage centres, bars and restaurants.  AA

Guests at Tilar Siro can take scuba diving courses or go on sea safaris.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Go for : A new island hotel and outdoor adventures

For the longest time, a trip to the Andamans meant picking between homestays or the only premium boutique hotel on the island. That’s changed in the past few years, with resorts like Taj Exotica Resort & Spa and Jalakara . The most recent entrant to the mix is Tilar Siro , a CGH Earth outpost on Havelock Island (now, Swaraj Dweep). The 25-key property is breezy, green, and immersive. You can learn about the island’s history and food, take scuba diving courses, and enjoy guided walks through the dense rainforests. There’s a lot to do beyond Havelock, including sea safaris at Cinque Island and kayaking expeditions with stargazing thrown in. Take a day trip to Barren Island to visit India’s only active volcano or take a ferry to Little Andaman Island for pristine beaches and lagoons. — Arundhati Ail

The new Biodiversity Heritage Site at Arittapatti village has over 75 species of birds.

Arittapatti, Tamil Nadu

Go for : Tamil Nadu’s first Biodiversity Heritage Site

A first for the state, Arittapatti village—roughly 143 miles from Coimbatore—has been declared Tamil Nadu’s first and India’s 35th Biodiversity Heritage Site. As green spaces across the globe shrink, this move by the state government is a step towards a greener future, and an attempt to preserve the unique landscape of rocky hills that supports 72 lakes, 200 natural spring ponds, and three reservoirs, apart from the 75 species of birds, raptor species, megalithic structures and rock-cut temples that date back 2,000 years. While the state government prepares to build the area’s tourism potential, go before the crowds surge—birdsong, gushing streams and a biodiverse ecosystem await. — Smitha Menon

Cruises on the Brahmaputra River incorporate art and cultural experiences.

Go for : Cruises on the Brahmaputra River

Cruises across the mighty Brahmaputra River, and an exploration of its riverine culture, have thrown a new spotlight on Assam’s culture, history, and biodiversity. These river cruises are offered both by Assam Tourism and by private operators like the Assam Bengal Navigation Company, which have upped the ante on luxury travel with vessels that encapsulate the heritage and culture of the region and tours that provide a window into the history, culture, and crafts of the state.

Travelers can trek through untouched fields near Tawang Monastery, the largest in India.

Arunachal Pradesh

Go for : The newfound accessibility, Ziro Festival, untouched nature

CNT Editors

Steph Koyfman

Shannon McMahon

Arunachal Pradesh is the ideal destination for a retreat into silence. Jaw-dropping sunsets take over the valleys here, more than 500 species of birds call the wooded landscape of this state their home, and the gush of a hidden waterfall will be the only sound to break your chain of thought. Until now, the state’s natural beauty remained unexplored for the lack of accessibility. But in November 2022, the inauguration of the Donyi Polo airport opened gateways to the possibility of a novel getaway. With this airport located in Hollongi, some nine miles from Itanagar, travelers finally have direct access to the capital city and a new entry point into the state. Visit Tawang Monastery—the largest monastery in India—while you’re here, trek through the untouched fields of Bomdila, or make plans to drop by for the Ziro Festival for a weekend of music and eco-conscious living against the stunning Himalayan backdrop. — Ria Gupta

Restaurants offering a variety of dosas, new museums, and hip bookshops will draw travelers to Namma Bengaluru.

Bengaluru, Karnataka  

Go for : The Museum of Art & Photography, benne dosa, Cubbon Park promenade

Namma Bengaluru has something new to offer you every time you visit it. If you are an art lover, the city’s latest offering, the Museum of Art & Photography —which will go public in early 2023—will open up a whole new world encompassing photographs, ancient and modern art, sculptures, textiles and more. Let the colors of contemporary artist Jangarh Singh Shyam’s  Portrait of a Barasingha  wash over you or marvel at the intricacies of the bronze sculptures from decades ago at the cultural space that is located in the heart of the city on Kasturba Road. Once you have had your fill of art, head to the Airlines Hotel less than 500 yards away and enjoy a plate of crispy masala dosa with piping hot sambar, coconut chutney, and a freshly brewed tumbler of filter coffee—all under a lush green tree canopy. Then take a leisurely walk at Cubbon Park just a few yards away and head to the good old Blossom Book House or its newer, hipper contender, Champaca to pick up your next read. — Sneha Kanchan

The region's sacred temples have been nominated as a new UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Belur and Halebid, Karnataka

Go for : The sacred temples of the Hoysala Empire—India’s official nomination for the UNESCO World Heritage Site tag in 2023

Why should you visit 12th-century temples in 2023? For starters, these magnificent structures, about 124 miles from Bengaluru, are intricately carved and shockingly well-preserved reminders of the Hoysala dynasty, a secular family that ruled across the Deccan region from 1006 to about 1346 CE. The Hoysaleswara temple in Halebid, which loosely translates to old capital or ruined city, demonstrates how the rulers of yore encouraged the intermingling of religions and ideologies: the structure follows the Shaivism Hindu tradition but includes themes and motifs from Vaishnavism and Shaktism, along with images from Jainism. Inside, painstakingly hand-carved sculptures depict scenes from ancient epics like the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Bhagavata Purana. Along with this temple, the nearby Kesava temple in Belur has also been proposed to be listed under the UNESCO World Heritage Sites . The ensembles blend Dravidian-style design with Bhumija and Nagara traditions of temple architecture from central and northern India, respectively. — SM

During Goa Carnival, the city's streets come alive with performers of all kinds.

Go for : New hotels and restaurants, the Goa Carnival

Spanish tapas at Mystras in Assagao, a taste of spiced Indian fare at Juju in Colva, and cocktails and mushroom cakes at Fig & Maple —these are only some of the new delights on Goa’s burgeoning food and drink scene . Helming the revolution of South Indian cuisine in Goa is the newly opened Hosa, a Portuguese-styled outpost set up by Rohit Khattar of Indian Accent, Comorin, and Koloman. With JW Marriott’s new property slated to pop up in Vagator next year, there’s enough to keep you hooked to the sunny state. For a taste of the spirit of Goa, make sure you witness the processions of the Goa Carnival 2023. Come February, the streets of Panjim, Mapusa, Margao, and Vasco will come alive with dancers, acrobats, musicians, and the escorts that tail the carnival’s King Momo. It’s the time of year when pranksters come knocking on doors, street plays celebrate the art of mockery, and everyone unites for the love of food, drink, and merriment. Don’t leave without taking back a souvenir in the form of one of the many homegrown alcoholic spirits the state is known for. — RG

Hanle is set to be named India's first Dark Sky Reserve in 2023.

Hanle, Ladakh

Go for : India’s first Dark Sky Reserve, Hanle Monastery

Experience a starry night like never before at Hanle, a picturesque hamlet in Ladakh. Hanle is set to be the main character in India’s astronomical tourism story as the site of the country’s first Dark Sky Reserve , which will be operational by early 2023.

Once there, do not forget to visit the 17th-century Hanle Monastery located on a hilltop for some inner peace and a panoramic view of the village and its unique landscape. — SK

Jaipur's Literature Festival draws travelers from all around the globe.

Jaipur, Rajasthan

Go for : Safaris, the Jaipur Literature Festival, new hotel and bar openings

Safari enthusiasts can now go on a leopard game drive just 30 minutes away from Jaipur city. In May 2022, the Rajasthan state government opened up the Amagarh Leopard Reserve , which sprawls across 3,765 acres and is home to 16 cats and 250 species of birds. Besides the leopard, keep your eyes peeled for hyenas, jackals, wild cats, foxes, civets, nilgai, sambar, and birds including peacocks, parakeets, and woodpeckers. Amagarh is also home to an 18th-century fort built by Maharaja Jawai Singh II, which is worth a visit. Time your trip to one of India’s most exciting literature festivals: The Jaipur Literature Fest is slated to take place from January 19 to 23 and will feature speakers like Anthony Sattin and Sudha Murty. Stay at the newly opened Villa Palladio , a nine-room boutique hotel that looks straight out of a jewel box, from the duo behind the famous Bar Palladio. For a drink, check out Johri & Sons, a slick new bar concocting smashing cocktails with a twist, and a side of ker sangri samosas and roomali khakra. It’s a fitting end to a day spent in the wilderness. — Shradha Shahani

Srinagar will see some vibrant new hotel openings in 2023—and a boost in accessibility to the best slopes in the region.

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

Go for :   New infrastructure for easier road tripping, elevated nature retreats

In the heart of the Kashmir Valley, the gem of Srinagar—with its winding waterways and colorful houseboats—is equally alluring and challenging to plan a visit to. Yet the destination seems to be shifting gears, with the government greenlighting development projects that will benefit travelers.

Srinagar has some vibrant new openings:  Karan Mahal , a swanky, intimate stay in the historic residence of Kashmir’s former rulers and amid nearly 60 acres of orchards and woods, launched last year, while  Qayaam Gah , a stylish, Sufi-inspired nature retreat in the Zabarwan Hills, with unfettered bird’s-eye views of Dal Lake, opened this summer. Additionally, Indian Hotels Company Limited (also behind the Taj Hotels) will bring its affordable brand, Ginger Hotels , to Srinagar in the first half of 2023.

The capital is also about to get a boost in accessibility, with a spate of highways and tunnels planned to open in 2023 that will, among other connections, make it easier to drive from Kashmir—across breathtaking landscapes—to neighboring Ladakh, even in winter. Other side trips that will be easier to reach, thanks to the new infrastructure: Sonamarg (which translates to “golden meadow”), a stunning hill station that is poised for substantial tourism development in the years to come, and Pahalgam, an idyllic getaway that has long drawn travelers to its pastoral charms. The latter will see, in early 2023, the opening of  Shepherd’s Barn , a cottage stay by Ramneek Kaur (whose family owns the Bollywood-favorite  Pahalgam Hotel ), which will add rooms to an existing program of craft tours and local activities under the auspices of the Shepherd Crafts Cultural Centre. With so much change underfoot, there is no better time to experience the area— and before everyone else starts to do the same. —Saumya Ancheri

Jeypore is an ideal retreat for nature lovers.

Jeypore, Odisha

Go for : New trekking trails

Amid the heritage structures and urban strongholds of Odisha, Jeypore poses as a fine repository of all things natural. From caves hidden in the depths of forests to bold waterfalls , there’s plenty to see and discover here. Thanks to the local administration’s efforts, one of its key areas—the Nakti Dangar hill of Jeypore’s Pangi forest reserve—will soon have a designated trail route for travelers. This means that you will now be able to navigate through the wild at a height of 4,600 feet. On the way, you can spot various endangered species such as the Jeypore Hill Gecko. The project is expected to be completed towards the end of 2023 and will present a resting stop at the top of the hill to complement the trail. The city also packs within it a host of cultural outposts; think: temples, palaces, and the forts that let you in on the city’s past as a trading hotspot—all surrounded by the Eastern Ghats and blanketed in a cool breezy climate. — RG

The city's Biennale will stretch until April 2023.

Kochi, Kerala

Go for : Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Chinese fishing nets, history lessons

Come December this year, the bright bylanes of fort Kochi will don different expressions of art as Kochi-Muziris Biennale returns physically after a brief pandemic-induced hiatus. The Biennale, an international contemporary art exhibition, will spill into the next year and end in April 2023 with installations and events set up in and around several locations of the scenic Fort Kochi. Be sure to set aside a couple of days to cover as many locations and artworks as you can while taking in the beauty of the place and its architecture on foot. For history buffs, there is both the 16th-century Mattancherry Palace built by the Portuguese and the Paradesi Synagogue in Jew Town that will transport you back to that era. As the sun sets, Kochi's famous Chinese fishing nets beckon with a lively and fun fish auction experience. — SK

Devgad is known for slow and leisurely surfing.

Go for : The coast’s newest surf school and beach zipline in Devgad

In 2021, the Chipi Parule Airport in Sindhudurg was finally inaugurated after a wait of more than 20 years. This year brought another reason to visit the Konkan coast. Adventure company Flying Konkan has just launched the Flying Konkan Surfing School, the very first board surfing school on the coastline, at the Devgad and Taramburi beaches, where beginners and experienced surfers are invited to catch some waves. The coast at Devgad (about 100km from Ratnagiri, towards Goa) is less crowded and less explored than most shores, creating an ideal atmosphere for slow, leisurely surfing . Waves are typically three to five feet in April and can reach up to 10 feet in May. If you’re not interested in surfing, you can always enjoy the school’s very own coastal zipline over the beach. — AA

Cheetahs have returned to Kuno, 70 years after being declared extinct.

Kuno, Madhya Pradesh 

Go for : The comeback of cheetahs

When you draw up your travel calendar for 2023, do not forget to squeeze in a quick trip to the center of India for a very special reason. Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park recently became home to cheetahs that have made a comeback in India seven decades after being declared extinct. By 2023, you should get a chance to spot the Namibian cheetahs (all eight of them if you’re lucky!) roaming in their spotted glory in the lap of the Vindhyas mountain range. If the cheetahs are elusive, you can always hop onto a safari jeep and let the park’s flora and fauna—close to 30 mammals, 200 birds and 14 species of fish—whisk you away from the fast pace of city life. — SK

Inside Van Gogh 360

Mumbai, Maharashtra

Go for : Lollapalooza, Van Gogh 360, an exciting sports scene

There are ample reasons to visit the city of dreams on any given day. It could be for the serendipity of catching your favorite movie stars shooting in the middle of Kala Ghoda, or for the miraculous urban forest where leopards roam in midst of all things manmade. But in the coming year, some never-before moments will accentuate the bustling world that is Mumbai. Chicago’s international music festival Lollapalooza (January 28-29, 2023) is making its Asian debut in the city in 2023.

50-year Wall Street Insider Names #1 stock for AI “Tidal Wave”

Published on april 1, 2024 at by insider monkey staff.

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.

So you can see why CNBC’s Jim Cramer has said he’s learned to never bet against Marc.

The Lyrids meteor shower is peaking. Here's how to enjoy it with a bright moon

A Leonid fireball is shown during the storm of 1966 in the sky above Wrightwood, Calif.

Stargazers can get ready to watch one of the oldest-known meteor showers soon — they'll just need to find some darkness from a nearly full moon.

The Lyrids meteor shower is active until April 29 and is predicted to peak overnight from Sunday into Monday, according to the American Meteor Society. It's best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere, the group says.

Views throughout the night will change as Lyra, the constellation from which the shower radiates and gets its name, moves through the sky. Lyra hangs high at dawn so that will be a better time to view, the AMS says .

The nearly full moon over the weekend will make it more difficult to see the meteor shower, but viewers can still see some, and it always helps to make the sky you're looking at as dark as possible. Astronomy website EarthSky advises avoiding city lights as you would in most stargazes, but it also suggests finding a place where the moon can be blocked from view, like in the shadows of a mountain or under trees.

A rare fireball flew over Maine. Now there's a $25K reward for pieces of space rock

Meteor watchers should prepare to stay warm and lie back. NASA recommends lying with your feet facing east, and allow 30 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Photography fans will need slower shutter speed, higher ISO and the stability of a tripod to capture the shooting stars.

While we are unlikely to see bright trains from the Lyrids' travel through the Earth's atmosphere, we can watch out for bright flashes called fireballs, according to NASA.

Fireballs are brighter than the planet Venus. NASA has set up over a dozen cameras across the country to record them. The agency says the data helps them better understand objects floating in space near the Earth and is important for spacecraft designers.

Never seen an exploding star? This year, you'll have your chance

The first recorded sighting of the Lyrids came from Chinese people over 2,700 years ago. Meteor showers happen when the Earth passes through the trail of dust and debris that comets and asteroids leave behind when they come around the sun. The Lyrids come from the trail of comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher , which was discovered by amateur astronomer A.E. Thatcher in 1861.

While the Earth passes through the comet's trail every year, it takes over 400 years for Comet Thatcher to orbit the sun. The last time it reached its closest point to the sun was in the year it was discovered.

The next meteor shower for the Earth is the Eta Aquariids that is better viewed from the southern tropics in early May, according to the AMS. The next one people in North America can see well is the Alpha Capricornids at the end of July. The moon will be darker then.

India election 2024 Phase 2: Who votes and what’s at stake?

Across 13 states, 88 constituencies go to the polls on April 26 in the second phase of the world’s largest election.

The juggernaut of India’s mammoth parliamentary elections rolls into the second of seven phases on April 26 with all eyes on the southern states of Kerala and Karnataka.

The contenders in round two include a former leader of India’s main opposition who has never won a general election for his party, a former top United Nations official and author, and an erstwhile Bollywood star who is running for a third time but has disappointed her constituency by her absence on the ground.

Keep reading

Rahul gandhi files nomination for india election from kerala seat, will modi win 400 seats in india’s election the south holds the answer, manipur’s bjp cm inflamed conflict: assam rifles report on india violence, india’s modi visits srinagar, first since kashmir autonomy removed in 2019.

India’s general elections for 543 seats in the lower house of parliament, or Lok Sabha, kicked off on April 19 . The results of the world’s largest-ever democratic exercise are set to be announced on June 4.

With 969 million registered voters – or more than the combined population of the United States, the European Union and Russia – India has the largest electorate in the world.

Apart from numerous regional and national hopefuls, the two main alliances are the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and a coalition of 28 parties called the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance ( INDIA ), led by the main opposition Indian National Congress , welded by the aim of unseating the BJP.

Who votes in Phase 2?

Voters from these 88 constituencies from 13 states and union territories will go to the ballot box:

• Kerala:  All 20 of the southern state’s seats
• Rajasthan: 13 of the western state’s 25 seats
• Karnataka:  14 of the southern state’s 28 seats
• Uttar Pradesh: Eight of the northern state’s 80 seats
• Madhya Pradesh: Six of the central state’s 29 seats
• Assam: Five of the eastern state’s 14 seats
• Chhattisgarh:  Three of the central state’s 11 seats
• Bihar: Five of the eastern state’s 40 seats
• Maharashtra:  Eight of the western state’s 48 seats
• West Bengal: Three of the eastern state’s 42 seats
• Tripura: One of the northeastern state’s two seats
• Jammu and Kashmir: One of the union territory’s five seats
• Manipur: Parts of one of the northeastern state’s two seats, which voted in the first phase, will also vote on April 26.

Which are some of the key constituencies?

• Wayanad, Kerala: Prominent opposition leader Rahul Gandhi will face-off against left-wing candidate Annie Raja of the Communist Party of India, as he fights to hold onto the constituency that elected him in 2019. Both Gandhi’s Congress and the communists are part of the national opposition INDIA alliance but are rivals in Kerala. Gandhi is the son, grandson and great-grandson of former prime ministers, but his Congress party has suffered two landslide defeats against the BJP. Also running is the BJP’s state president K Surendran. Wayanad has been a Congress stronghold since the 2009 elections. Kerala is the only major Indian state that has never elected a BJP member of parliament.
• Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala: Shashi Tharoor – a senior Congress member, ex-minister, former UN undersecretary-general and author – is seeking re-election for a fourth consecutive term. His main opponent is the BJP’s Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a junior information technology minister, with the ruling party hoping for victory against the odds as it has neither the numbers nor evidence of broad support. The BJP has come in second place in this constituency in the last two general elections, behind the Congress. Kerala’s population is 55 percent Hindu, 27 percent Muslim and 18 percent Christian. But the Hindu nationalist BJP has so far struggled to even win the bulk of the Hindu vote in Kerala.
• Mandya, Karnataka: The BJP has never won the Mandya seat in southern Karnataka. While Modi boasted of a target of crossing the 400-seat mark on the back of his alliance this time, only strong wins in southern India can make that possible. The BJP did win 25 of the state’s 28 seats in the 2019 general elections and also ruled at the state level from 2008 to 2013, and from 2018 to 2023. But the Congress, which is back in power in Karnataka, is hoping to garner a large victory as it has campaigned against the government, saying it discriminates against the southern states, which get few resources from the federal government. The Congress candidate, Venkataramane Gowda – also known as Star Chandru – is up against former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy of the Janata Dal Secular, an ally of the BJP.
• Mathura, Uttar Pradesh: Bollywood actor Hema Malini of the BJP has won this seat since 2014. She faces the Congress’s Mukesh Dhangar, the party’s state president. Mathura is a BJP stronghold, and along with other cities in India’s most populous state, is home to mosques that Modi’s party claims were built on demolished temples . In Mathura, it is the 17th-century Shahi Idgah mosque. Mathura may vote for the BJP, but Malini is known more for her absence from the constituency, where she is accused of showing up only at election time.
• Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh: Former minister Mahesh Sharma of the BJP has won twice from here. The village of Bisahda in this constituency is where Mohammed Akhlaq was lynched in 2015 on suspicion of stealing and slaughtering a cow. The 52-year-old Muslim ironsmith was dragged from his home and beaten to death over the rumour. More recently, Prime Minister Modi has faced criticism for fanning anti-Muslim hatred by equating the community to “infiltrators”. At an election rally in the western state of Rajasthan, the prime minister said the opposition wanted to distribute wealth to “those who have many children” in comments widely seen as referring to the Muslim minority.

When does voting start and end?

Voting will start at 7am (01:30 GMT) and end at 6pm (12:30 GMT). Voters already in the queue by the time polls close will get to vote even if that means keeping polling stations open longer.

Who rules states that vote in the second phase?

• Kerala is governed by a left-wing alliance led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which is part of INDIA.
• The BJP governs Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
• The BJP rules through alliances in Bihar and Maharashtra.
• The Congress governs Karnataka.
• West Bengal is governed by the All India Trinamool Congress Party, a part of INDIA.

Who won these Lok Sabha seats in 2019?

• In the last Lok Sabha election, Congress-led alliances United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala, won 23 of the 88 seats that will vote on April 26. Several parties from the UPA are now part of the INDIA bloc.
• The BJP-led NDA won 62 of the seats in 2019.
• Two independent candidates won seats in 2019 in Karnataka and Maharashtra each. The Bahujan Samaj Party took one seat in Uttar Pradesh.
• A delimitation exercise in Assam last year changed the organisation of constituencies. In 2019, Assam had a constituency called the Autonomous District which comprised Diphu as an assembly segment among others. Diphu has now replaced the Autonomous District as a constituency in 2024. The BJP won the Autonomous District in 2019. Additionally, Darrang-Udalguri was previously called Mangaldoi, which the BJP won.

How much of India has voted so far?

On April 19, 102 constituencies in 21 states voted in the first phase of the elections. Voting has concluded for all seats in Tamil Nadu, as well as Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep and Puducherry.

While voting took place for both of Manipur’s seats during phase one, Outer Manipur is heading to polls for a second time in phase two.

The third phase will be held on May 7.
