Every year, about 1.8 crore Indians travel to international destinations such as Bangkok, Singapore, Dubai, Maldives, and Bali. These destinations have been the preferred destination for a number of factors. Most of these countries are closer to India, which means less time consumed in travel, and the tickets to these destinations are cheaper as compared to countries that are far off.
Well, we have a good news. Forget the cliché cramped destinations and add these less-explored places to your travel bucket list because travelling to these destinations just got easier.
