crore,\u201d and the story behind it is stranger than the translation suggests. According to local legend, Shiva was traveling to Kashi with a crore of gods and goddesses. He told everyone to wake before sunrise. Only he managed it. The rest overslept, and an angry Shiva turned every last one of them to stone. That left exactly one figure short of a crore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enormous rock-cut sculptures now cover the hillside here. They\u2019re old enough and significant enough that Unakoti sits on UNESCO\u2019s Tentative World Heritage List. It\u2019s one of northeast India\u2019s more overlooked historical sites, best visited between October and March.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Satara_Maharashtra\"><\/span><b>Satara, Maharashtra<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15710\" title=\"Satara Maharashtra\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Satara-Maharashtra.webp\" alt=\"Satara Maharashtra\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Satara-Maharashtra.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Satara-Maharashtra-280x147.webp 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSat\u201d means seven. Satara takes its name from the seven forts that once ringed the city, a legacy of its time as a Maratha Empire stronghold and briefly its capital. These days the forts matter less than what surrounds them, the Kaas Plateau, its waterfalls, and the Western Ghats stretching out behind the city. Mumbai and Pune locals treat it as a go-to weekend escape, especially once the monsoon hits between July and February.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Naukuchiatal_Uttarakhand\"><\/span><b>Naukuchiatal, Uttarakhand<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15711\" title=\"Naukuchiatal Uttarakhand\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naukuchiatal-Uttarakhand.webp\" alt=\"Naukuchiatal Uttarakhand\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naukuchiatal-Uttarakhand.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naukuchiatal-Uttarakhand-280x147.webp 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right next to the much busier Nainital sits Naukuchiatal, and somehow it\u2019s stayed quiet. The name means \u201clake of nine corners,\u201d describing the oddly shaped lake at its center, ringed by forest. Local belief holds that seeing all nine corners at once brings enlightenment. Most visitors settle for something simpler: boating, birdwatching, or a walk without a crowd trailing behind them. It\u2019s one of the best hidden places to visit in India if Nainital\u2019s tourist traffic isn\u2019t what you&#8217;re after. Best window: March to June, or September to November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, if you\u2019re planning to visit Uttarakhand, book <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/flights-to-delhi\"><b>cheap flight tickets to Delhi from USA<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before finalizing your itinerary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nandi_Hills_Karnataka\"><\/span><b>Nandi Hills, Karnataka<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15712\" title=\"Nandi Hills Karnataka\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Nandi-Hills-Karnataka.webp\" alt=\"Nandi Hills Karnataka\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Nandi-Hills-Karnataka.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Nandi-Hills-Karnataka-280x147.webp 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most tourists show up here for the sunrise and never learn the name\u2019s backstory. Nandi Hills takes its name from Nandi, Shiva\u2019s bull. Locals say the hills resemble a sleeping Nandi from a distance. Thick cloud cover rolls into the valleys below most mornings, thick enough that standing at the top genuinely feels like standing above the clouds instead of under them. An hour outside Bengaluru, it\u2019s one of the easiest weekend mountain trips in the south. October through March is the clearest stretch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ashtamudi_Lake_Kerala\"><\/span><b>Ashtamudi Lake, Kerala<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15713\" title=\"Ashtamudi Lake Kerala\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Ashtamudi-Lake-Kerala.webp\" alt=\"Ashtamudi Lake Kerala\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Ashtamudi-Lake-Kerala.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Ashtamudi-Lake-Kerala-280x147.webp 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAshta\u201d is eight, \u201cmudi\u201d means branches. Ashtamudi earned both halves of its name honestly, eight separate waterways converge here before draining into the Arabian Sea. As one of Kerala\u2019s largest backwaters and a Ramsar Wetland of international importance, it\u2019s one of the unique places in India that photos never quite capture. Houseboats, mangrove forests, small village life along the banks, and sunsets that are hard to overstate make it one of Kerala&#8217;s most complete destinations in one stop. Best time: October to March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seven_Sisters_Falls_Meghalaya\"><\/span><b>Seven Sisters Falls, Meghalaya<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15714\" title=\"Seven Sisters Falls Meghalaya\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Seven-Sisters-Falls-Meghalaya.webp\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Falls Meghalaya\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Seven-Sisters-Falls-Meghalaya.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Seven-Sisters-Falls-Meghalaya-280x147.webp 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cherrapunji gets some of the heaviest rainfall on Earth, so a dramatic waterfall showing up here isn\u2019t exactly a surprise. <\/span><b>Seven Sisters Falls<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes its name from the seven distinct streams that tumble down the limestone cliffs once the monsoon sets in. At peak flow, the entire cliff face turns into a single wall of water stretching hundreds of feet. During the monsoon, photographers travel from across India just to capture the waterfall at full flow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Panchgani_Maharashtra\"><\/span><b>Panchgani, Maharashtra<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15715\" title=\"Panchgani Maharashtra\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Panchgani-Maharashtra.webp\" alt=\"Panchgani Maharashtra\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Panchgani-Maharashtra.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Panchgani-Maharashtra-280x147.webp 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panchgani translates to \u201cland between five villages,\u201d Dandeghar, Godavali, Ambral, Khingar, and Taighat. The hill station grew out of these settlements before becoming one of Maharashtra\u2019s most visited retreats. Table Land, Sydney Point, strawberry farms, and colonial-era schools are the draw now, along with weather that stays cool for most of the year. Being just a few hours from both Mumbai and Pune keeps it busy nearly year-round. Best visited September through May.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zero_Point_Sikkim\"><\/span><b>Zero Point, Sikkim<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15716\" title=\"Zero Point Sikkim\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Zero-Point-Sikkim.webp\" alt=\"Zero Point Sikkim\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Zero-Point-Sikkim.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Zero-Point-Sikkim-280x147.webp 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every name on this list comes from mythology. In Zero Point&#8217;s case, it&#8217;s pure geography. It marks the spot where the motorable road simply ends, beyond Yumthang Valley near the Indo-China border. Past this point, you either turn back or need special permission to continue. Northeast India doesn\u2019t get more dramatic than this \u2014 snow-covered peaks, alpine meadows, and a silence you won&#8217;t find anywhere closer to the cities. For a lot of travellers doing a full northeast India itinerary, Zero Point ends up being the actual highlight. Best time to go is April to June, or October to December.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India\u2019s headline landmarks earn their reputation fairly.
