Aali Masjid

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

Discover Srinagar's second-largest mosque, an architectural marvel known for its traditional Kashmiri wooden structure and a vast prayer hall with 378 pillars.

The best months to visit are from April to October when the weather in Srinagar is pleasant. During these months, temperatures are comfortable for exploring. Avoid the winter months from December to February, as heavy snowfall and extreme cold can make travel difficult. Visiting on a weekday morning is ideal to experience the mosque's peaceful atmosphere with very few people around. Friday afternoons see large prayer congregations, making it crowded.

1 hour

Masjid Dastgeer Sahib

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

A revered Sufi shrine in Srinagar's Khanyar area, known for its unique Kashmiri architecture and housing a sacred relic of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani.

The best time to visit Srinagar is from March to October when the weather is pleasant. September and October offer clear skies and comfortable temperatures. While the shrine is open year-round, winters (December to February) can be very cold with heavy snowfall, which might pose travel challenges. Visiting during the annual Urs of Dastgeer Sahib offers a unique cultural experience, but expect very large crowds during that period.

30 minutes

Panchtarni

Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir

The final base camp for the Amarnath Yatra, a high-altitude meadow where five streams converge, located 6 km from the holy cave.

The only time to visit Panchtarni is during the annual Shri Amarnathji Yatra, which is officially scheduled by the government. This period typically falls between late June and August. The dates change every year. During this time, the route is open and essential facilities are operational. The rest of the year, the area is covered in heavy snow and is completely inaccessible.

Full day (6-8 hours)

Shah-e-Hamdan

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

An exquisite wooden mosque and shrine in Srinagar's old city, celebrated for its unique Kashmiri architecture and intricate papier-mâché interiors.

The best time to visit is from March to October when the weather in Srinagar is pleasant, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures ideal for sightseeing. The summer months from May to August see the peak tourist season. For a quieter visit with beautiful surroundings, consider the spring months of March and April or the autumn months of September and October. Winters (November to February) are cold with chances of snow, which offers a different but equally beautiful perspective of the shrine.

1 hour

St. Mary's Church

Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir

A historic Victorian-era stone church set in the meadows of Gulmarg, known for its rustic charm and peaceful ambiance.

The best time to visit is from April to June for pleasant weather and clear views of the green meadows. For those wanting to see the church covered in a blanket of snow, the months from December to February are ideal. However, access during heavy snowfall can be challenging. The monsoon months of July and August should be avoided due to rain. September and October also offer good weather with fewer tourists.

30 minutes

Dargah Hazratbal Shrine

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

A revered Muslim shrine on the banks of Srinagar's Dal Lake, known for its pristine white marble architecture and for housing a sacred prophetic relic.

The best time to visit is from March to October when Srinagar's weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing. During these months, the gardens are lush and the lake is beautiful. Winters, from November to February, are very cold with sub-zero temperatures, but the shrine against a snowy backdrop is a unique sight. Avoid visiting on major Islamic festival days if you want to avoid extremely large crowds, though these times offer a powerful display of faith.

1-2 hours

All Saints Church

Shillong, Meghalaya

An iconic colonial-era wooden church in Shillong, known for its distinct architecture, historical significance, and serene atmosphere.

The best time to visit Shillong is from October to May when the weather is pleasant and dry. This period is ideal for sightseeing without the disruption of heavy rain. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September. A visit during December is special due to Christmas decorations and festive services, although temperatures are quite low. For a comfortable experience, spring (March-April) and autumn (October-November) are perfect.

30 minutes

Tawang Monastery

Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh

Explore the largest monastery in India, a 17th-century Tibetan Buddhist center with stunning architecture and a massive Buddha statue in Tawang.

The best months to visit are from March to June and September to October. During these periods, the weather is pleasant with clear skies, offering great views of the mountains. Avoid the monsoon season from July to August due to heavy rainfall and the risk of landslides. Winter, from November to February, is extremely cold with heavy snowfall, which can be beautiful but often leads to road closures. Visiting in late January allows you to experience the Torgya festival.

2-3 hours

Golden Temple

Coorg, Punjab

The holiest shrine in Sikhism, a spiritual sanctuary of gold and marble surrounded by the sacred Amrit Sarovar pool in Amritsar.

The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is cool and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 5°C to 20°C. This period is ideal for sightseeing. The summer months from April to June are very hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C. Monsoons last from July to September. Visiting during Sikh festivals like Vaisakhi (April), the birthday of Guru Nanak (November), or Diwali offers a chance to see the temple beautifully illuminated, though it is extremely crowded.

2-3 hours

Talakaveri

Coorg, Karnataka

The origin of the sacred River Kaveri in the Brahmagiri hills, featuring a temple, a holy tank (Kundike), and panoramic mountain viewpoints.

The ideal time to visit is from October to May. October is special due to the Tulasankramana festival, but it's also very crowded. November to February offers pleasant and cool weather, perfect for climbing to the viewpoint. March to May provides clear, haze-free panoramic views. The monsoon season, from June to September, sees extremely heavy rainfall which can make the steps slippery and cause travel disruptions, though the landscape is exceptionally green.

1-2 hours

Koti Tirtha

Gokarna, Karnataka

A sacred man-made water tank in Gokarna, revered for ritual dips and surrounded by numerous small shrines and lingams.

The best time to visit is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 32°C. This period is ideal for exploring the town on foot. The festival of Mahashivratri, in February or March, offers a vibrant cultural experience but attracts very large crowds. The summer months of April and May are hot and humid, while the monsoon season from June to September brings heavy rainfall, making the stone steps slippery and potentially unsafe.

30 minutes

Rajagopuram

Murudeshwar, Karnataka

A towering 20-story gopuram at Murudeshwar Temple with an elevator offering panoramic views of the giant Shiva statue and the Arabian Sea.

The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is pleasant and not too humid. This period is ideal for sightseeing and beach activities. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September due to heavy rainfall. Summers, from April to May, can be very hot and humid, making daytime visits uncomfortable. The winter months also coincide with festivals like Mahashivaratri, which sees large crowds.
