What are the best places to stay in India for vacations?
India is known for its colors and cultures. There are many prime spots to stay in India. Here, we are listing the top 5 places to stay for relaxing and enjoying and taking time out at a peaceful place or let’s call it the best staycations of India.
The tourism world has coined a new term. “Luxury Staycations”, is a relatively new idea in the tourism industry. Derived from two words: stay and vacation, implying taking domestic tourism consisting of tourist-based activities close to home and not necessarily requiring to leave one’s city or buying airline tickets. Best way to ease out the daily chores’ pressures and undo the lockdown blues.
Lately, working from home became irritating being a couch potato and hectic too. One can always opt for luxury staycations which are at times lavish too and full of colorful vibes.
I had a wonderful experience while treating myself with a number of staycations, working super efficiently, and charging myself up during the pandemic havoc. This indeed was among the best experiences and a day or two at these selective staycations actually proved to be exciting and relaxing, both at the same time.
We are shortlisting here exotic and naturally wonderful top 5 luxury staycations. One can book a room in one of these serene Work from a home staycation in India which Themusafir.in has pruned for you.
