With the chill of the winter wind having already made its way in our lives, globetrotters in India are seeking escapades to scenic yet hassle-free travel destinations. To simplify it further, we’ve curated the top four must visit destinations for Indians this year.  

Thailand

Thailand is the go-to destination for Indians this winter. Why? Well, because Indian passport holders now enjoy a visa-free entry for up to 60 days. That means zero paperwork, just pack and go! Whether you’re hitting up the party hotspots in Pattaya, soaking in the serene beaches of Phuket, or exploring the temples of Krabi, Thailand is a perfect mix of culture, relaxation, and adventure. Bonus: It’s wallet-friendly too. Don’t forget to try the iconic mango sticky rice – it’s the ultimate sweet treat to fuel your Thai adventures.

Sri Lanka

If Thailand’s not your thing, then Sri Lanka is calling. Indians can enter visa-free until April 2025, so there’s plenty of time to plan that beach holiday or cultural getaway. Known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean,” Sri Lanka is all about picturesque beaches, stunning wildlife, and fresh seafood. Don’t miss the colonial charm of Galle, the hustle of Colombo, or the serene beauty of Kandy. Tip: Make sure to dive into Sri Lankan curry—your tastebuds will thank you.

Malaysia

Malaysia’s got it all – modern cities, rich culture, and gorgeous landscapes. And guess what? Indian travelers don’t need a visa until December 31, 2024. From the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur to the lush highlands of Cameron, Malaysia offers a blend of old-world charm and cutting-edge vibes. Penang and Langkawi are must-visit spots if you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both.

Bhutan

If you’re after peace, culture, and nature, Bhutan is calling your name. No visa required for Indian nationals for up to 14 days. Just a short flight from India, Bhutan offers a tranquil retreat in the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha are perfect for soaking in the serenity, stunning landscapes, and rich Buddhist heritage.Also Read: Visa Free Travel: Your Russian Downtime Itinerary For 2025 | Republic World
