We all have that travel keeda within us, which keeps us awake at night just in the hopes of traveling to one of our favourite places. However, it’s the money that often limits the chances of ever getting on a plane for a visit to the country of our dreams.
Now, we all have our specific reasons behind visiting a particular city or country in this world. However, what if I tell you that you can visit a place almost identical to your fav. Foreign city, that too in India? Crazy, right? You would not have to spend a ton of money, plus, these places are insanely amazing, all while be easy to travel to.
So, check out 8 foreign equivalent places in India:
1. Shillong, a.k.a., Scotland of East India
Shillong is one of the most beautiful places in east India and everyone, literally everyone should at least visit it once. You get lush extensive grasslands, along with one of the most picturesque beauties in the world.
2. Pondicherry, a.k.a., a French town
Visit Pondicherry and you’ll instantly feel like you are visiting a French town with beautiful and colourful houses. The architecture in here reflects the beauty of Portuguese, Dutch and French colonial times.
3. Kasol, a.k.a Little Israel
If you’ve ever visited Kasol then you would instantly relate to the fact that Kasol has a massive Israeli population. Every corner of his town is stuffed with Israeli and some of the most delicious hummus.

If can’t afford to ever visit the Amazon Forest then don’t worry because our country has its very own Western Ghats that are nothing short of the mysterious and thick Amazon Forest. From wildlife to lush green, the Western Ghats have everything to amaze you.
5. Chitrakoot Falls, a.k.a, the Niagara Falls of India
Niagara Falls is nowhere near the beauty and amazingness of Chitrakoot Falls that change the concept of scenic beauty for any waterfall in the world. Plus, wait till you get a little spray of the falls on your face, it’s amazing!
6. Kashmir, a.k.a India’s Switzerland
Kashmir has for long been recognised as India’s mini-Switzerland, all thanks to its scenic beauty and Bollywood makers to show it to the world. One visit to Kashmir and you would never want to leave that place, it’s so beautiful.
7. Rann of Kutch, a.k.a, mini Bonneville Salt Flats
If Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, America, is on your travel list, then try to compensate it with Rann of Kutch, for now. The entire Kutch is basically a vast expanse of beautiful nothingness and that’s what is so amazing about it. Night time is absolutely the best time to be in there and just gaze at stars.
8. Andaman and Nicobar Island, a.k.a, the Ko Phi Phi of India
The Ko Phi Phi islands of Thailand are iconic in themselves and nothing can match them, except for the Andaman and Nicobar islands. These islands have some of the best scuba diving spots in the country and it’s an absolute pleasure to be in there, coming face-to-face with our underwater nature.
