Here’s a list of offbeat places in North India that are remote, yet are the best places for a soul to rest.
1. Kufri, Himachal Pradesh
Located just 12km away from the ever-bustling Shimla, the town of Kufri is still pristine. This town was discovered by the British in the year 1819, and now it is only popular among the trekkers as this village is the starting point of the trek to Manali. Kufri is a must-go offbeat destination to visit in North India if you love the peace of mountains and want to stay away from the crowds.
2. Kila Raipur, Punjab
Located South of Ludhiana, this was a place where people from all parts of North India rushed to witness the popular “Rural Olympics”.
