Most remote escapes
The novel coronavirus just got even more interesting, or rather, a tad scarier than it was in 2020. A new strain of the virus was found in the UK recently, that is being hailed as out-of-control as it is very easily transferable. Yet another strain has now been found that is linked to South Africa; supposedly even more transmissible than the one found in the UK. At this rate, we cannot say for sure that 2021 is going to be any better. Don’t you feel like just getting up and running away to someplace? To the further corner of the world? As the year draws to a close, here are some places you can go to in order to evade the new virus.
Mana, Uttarakhand
Often called the last village of India, this one is set near the Indo-China border. Its beautiful surroundings can shelter you all throughout the year. This is also where you will find River Saraswati that is associated with the great Indian epic, Mahabharata. One of the charming places in the country, you can bid 2020 adieu.
Sandakphu, West Bengal
The highest point in West Bengal, this is where you run away for a great escape. Four of the five highest peaks in the world can be spotted from here, so trekking all the way up is really worth-it. This is one of the most popular treks in the Eastern Himalayas, and anyone interested in trekking must go for it.
Haflong, Assam
Take a bunch of lakes, waterfalls, and lush forests, throw them all in a hill station, and you get Haflong. Trekking and camping are very popular in this region as you submit yourself into the hands of Mother Nature. This is really a good place for a quiet family vacation, so take everyone of your family members and hide in the lap of nature.
Dhanushkodi, Tamil Nadu
An abandoned town that was destroyed in 1964 during the Rameswaram cyclone, this is really a sort of no man’s land. You get the feeling that you are all alone in this beautiful place. The beach, of course, is mesmerising, and to add to the charm there are some ruins that still stand.
