Kodaikanal is without a doubt one of the best places to visit in India before you die. It has lush forests surrounded by hills, waterfalls that cascade, and pillar formations.

Pondicherry or Puducherry, also known as the “French Riviera of the East,” is one of India’s most popular tourist destinations for those seeking a relaxing beach vacation. Visiting Pondy is a must if you want to see the charming French town’s beautiful culture and sample its delicious seafood.
