Summer Vacations are here and thankfully, there is no travel restriction in most parts of the world so you have a chance to plan a fun getaway without any worries. Everyone loves the idea of long holidays to a foreign country and exploring new cultures, places and food. However, applying for a visa can be a hassle with long waiting lines stretching over weeks sometimes. Luckily, there are plenty of countries where Indians can travel without visas and with no questions asked. All you need is a valid passport and a flight ticket!

Bhutan

There is a reason Bhutan is amongst the happiest countries in the world – the country prides itself on sustainable approach to tourism with a focus on Gross National Happiness. It is the last Himalayan kingdom with pristine landscapes, snow-capped peaks rising above the lush forests and traditional villages with majestic dzongs and monasteries. You must divide your time between the three destinations here, Thimpu, Paro and Punakha. Must-visit attractions include Punakha Dzong, Tiger’s Nest monastery and Paro Dzong. Indians travelling to Bhutan are required to carry either a valid passport with validity of minimum 6 months or a voter’s card issued by the Election Commission of India.

Barbados

Famed for its powdery beaches and turquoise bays, Barbados offers so much more – a UNESCO-listed capital, beautiful gardens and an amazing nightlife. What else could you need for a perfect holiday? Top attractions include Miami Beach, Shark’s Hole, Hunte’s Garden and Animal Flower Cave. Indians travelling to Barbados are issued visa upon their arrival for a stay up to 90 days.

Mauritius

According to highly acclaimed writer Mark Twain, heaven must have been copied from Mauritius and for the most part, it's true. The country is popular for its crystal-clear waters and white-powder beaches but there’s so much more to it than just beaches. Go hiking in the forested and mountainous landscape and you’ll be rewarded with some of the greatest views. Enjoy boat trips to its near-perfect islets and indulge in water sports like diving and snorkeling. You’ll find the real Mauritius away from the beach-resorts!

The Maldives

The Maldives is renowned for its unrivalled beaches, luxury resorts and amazing underwater world, making it a perfect holiday destination for those seeking a tropical getaway. It is home to some of the best beaches in the world scattered over its nearly 1200 islands and offers world-class diving and snorkeling opportunities. The Maldives has undergone vast changes in the last decade since inhabited islands have been opened to tourism and locals are permitted to build guesthouse, opening the destination to bag packers who have long been away.

Nepal

Boasting breathtaking Himalayan views, ancient temples and charming hill villages, Nepal is one of the world’s greatest travel destinations and a paradise for trekkers. It is the ultimate goal for very mountain lover with iconic hiking trails to Himalaya, Annapurna and beyond. Those who want to explore in a more relaxed manner can admire sunset views from the Himalaya viewpoints, stroll through medieval city squares of Kathmandu and Patan, and go on a spiritual journey to centuries-old stupas and monasteries. Indians who wish to visit Nepal simply need their passport or voter’s card issues by the Election Commission of India for travelling to this country.  

Fiji

Fiji is blessed with dazzling beaches, exquisite underwater marvels and fascinating culture but still feels a bit untouched and offbeat. It has much to offer to every kind of travelers – adventurous kinds, nature loving families or honeymooners seeking luxurious retreats. There are plenty of exciting activities too such as kayaking, sailing, kite-surfing and snorkeling. If you want to take off the beaten track, explore the northern highlands of the main island of Viti Levu with Talanoa Treks, which offers a range of hikes across mountains, sparkling rivers and historic caves.
