through Ladakh, trekking through the valley of flowers in Himalayas to surfing in Orissa, here are some insane experiences.

1. Camping in The Arid Desert of Rajasthan

camping among the endless stretches of sand. As you camp in the rustic tents, on the horizon is nothing but the unbridled view
of sand and sky.

For once you step in here, you are in a place unlike any other with nature retained from acres of green fields to haunting caves,
the largest river island to bridges made of roots, cascading waterfalls to a lot more. Just make sure that you pack along oodles of
energy too, as this can get gruelling. Hence, before you turn 30 is the best time to do it.

Instead of taking the normal route to Dudhsagar Falls, how about trekking up to it? This trail brings along some exciting
adventures. Depending upon your fitness levels you can walk on the railway tracks (where you have to be weary of the trains
passing by and make sure you are not hit by one), cross the Mondovi River or tread through bountiful jungles.

The entire journey is rewarded with the breath-taking sight of Dudhsagar Falls. As the name suggests you will get to witness the
sea of milk gushing through the rocks. On days of no rain, you can also take a dip in the pool below, but at your own peril.

The places in India to visit are several and varied, holds to the taste of many young, energetic and even middle aged. But the
conceptual thinking that it is only for under 30 is not in good taste. I have visited many places including Rajasthan, but what
bothers most international travellers is the lack of hygenic and convenient restrooms, apathy of the Govt. to create and a total
disrespect for people with some disabilities or conditions like diabetes, hypertension where there are no healthy places even
to have a cup of coffee. I wish the Govt or even private providers take note and develop these places.

Err... Coorg... Hampi...Kudermukh ! Isn't that South India.
Get a life looser. I stay in Bangalore and I have seen 12 out of these 50.
Why do you even start with south-north divide. Aren't you Indian first ?
And how come its racism ? We Indians are of the same race more or less. Just because you want to call it racism
you can't use it out of context.

my comment was exactly about india being one n not divided into south or north. i was telling ppl not to fight on
such baseless topic that they have not covered the south properly... n do not consider us the part. that is y i
explained that india is too big too be covered in the list of 50... i feel sorry that u cannot understand my context

mr abhijeet if u cannot understand the context of my comment then thats not my problem.. my comment also
means the same thing that we r indians first n whole of south north east west cannot be covered because
india is too big..12 have been covered n south is so big that to cover the whole south we will have to make the
list of 1000 places in india to visit... n m in big favor of india being one n being indian before being northie or
southie.. first try to understand the context before opening ur big mouth u ignorant pig...n let me tell u that u r
big looser coz u cant understand and interpret the words... n my comment was for them who have
commented that why whole south is nt covered u dont consider us the part of india.. n it was not for u,... i pity u
for ur ignorance....

Almost few left with me thanks for those fantastic pics uploaded my heart is awaiting for the boom...
But it really needed to be traveled through your Car and hire bikes as you want to enjoy your best part of life 22 to 30 and then
you will indulge into FAMILY stuff and its impossible to take that kinda best opportunity back again...
I have been to Ladakh where gals will just think of their skin getting dry...LOL
The only place I don like really is Vaisnodevi...Particularly bcoz of the crowd and stress.
Rest all fine you could have checked Rajasthan --BHARATPUR: Khakranagla village too
LOL
