Handy Tips • …To Navigate A Foreign Country

Bhutan • This tiny landlocked Himalayan kingdom is a picture postcard from whichever angle you see it. It is also the only carbon negative country in the list. Indians don't need a visa for Bhutan.

Bali, Indonesia • This is an island province in Indonesia known for its beautiful beaches. In fact, it is Indonesia's most famous tourist destination. According to local tradition, the island gets its name from King Bali, the brother of Sugriva, from the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana.

Cambodia • Beautiful beaches, ancient temples that exude a whiff of rich history and heritage, a rugged and war-torn history that could send shivers down one's back, and thick rainforests that envelop misty hills in large swatches of uninhabited greenery—that's Cambodia in a gist.

Vietnam • There are few places in the world that have been the scene of so many movie franchises–Tomorrow Never Dies from James Bond series and Kong: Skull Island from the King Kong Series. But Vietnam is much more than Ha Long Bay or the images from the 1970s US-Vietnam War.

Nepal • Sandwiched between two Asian giants, this landlocked nation sits high with 8 of the world's 10 highest mountain peaks. But there is a lot more to Nepal than Mt Everest, khukuris and the temples of Kathmandu for travellers and adventurers alike.

Sri Lanka • This tear-drop island by India's southern borders may not evoke much interest, but it's a destination you won't regret to visit. Iconic Buddhist relics, historic sea forts, and tea gardens where you can sip the...
