Feeling that travel itch but don't have the time for a long-haul flight?🤔

Written By - Anushka Srivastava
Story Highlights

Sometimes the best adventures are just a short hop away.


We often get 'gridlocked' on traditional travel ideas, but if you're craving something different—something that truly pushes your boundaries—look no further than these five adrenaline-

pumping destinations, all just a short flight from India.

Main Storytelling

Forget the done-to-death itineraries and swap them for these unforgettable experiences:

 

​🇳🇵 Everest Base Camp, Nepal: 

 

The quintessential bucket-list trek. Hike through Sherpa villages and rugged terrain up to 5,364m, keeping in mind the new considerations for permits and safety.

 

 

​🇱🇰 Sri Lanka – Surf, Sea and Sun: 

 

Perfect for all skill levels. Hit Arugam Bay (May-Sept) or Weligama/Mirissa (Nov-April) for fantastic surf and friendly beginner schools.

 

 

​🇴🇲 Oman – Desert Treks And Wadi Walks: 

 

An ideal introduction to desert adventure. Explore the stunning Sharqiya Sands (Wahiba Sands) by 4x4 or on foot, and hike the tranquil pools of Wadi Bani Khalid.

 

 

​🇹🇭 Krabi, Thailand – Climbing Limestone: 

 

Scale the iconic cliffs of Railay and Tonsai. Whether you're a beginner or advanced climber, the clear waters and bolted routes (best Nov-April) offer a dramatic backdrop for a high-octane holiday.

 

 

​🇲🇻 Maldives – Whale Sharks & Underwater Magic: 

 

Adventure beneath the surface! South Ari Atoll is the best spot for reliable whale shark encounters year-round, especially peaking in the dry season (Dec-April).

Conclusions

Adventure doesn't have to mean flying halfway around the world or sacrificing sustainability. These close-to-home destinations offer diverse landscapes and activities that challenge you, refresh you, and leave you with unforgettable stories.
