Yes,
somewhere deep down, we all swear by Bollywood! After all, it’s our version of
the fantasy land, and more often than not, it is through the lens of this very
Bollywood, that we get to explore some of the most impeccable destinations and see their
charm unveil! However, you can now actually enjoy these exotic destinations in
person and relive the magic that you once experienced on-screen! And to help
you make your pick, we’ve created a list of 5 of the Bollywood’s most
sought-after destinations!
Switzerland
Used as the go-to destination for a large number of flicks,
this has to be the first one on our list. Going down on the memory lane, it
becomes clear as crystal that the pastoral grasslands, the snow-capped alps and
the quaint villages of this picturesque destination has been best explored in
the classic, DilwaleDulhaniya Le Jayenge. Right from the charming village of
Gstaad, to the highest train station of Jungfraujoch and the spectacular emrald
green lake of Lungeren, DDLJ had it all, and sure left us gasping for more! And
who can forget the mesmerising ambience of the St. Mauritius Church of Saanen,
pictured oh-so-perfectly! However, Switzerland goes much beyond what was shown
on reel with its stunning landscapes, exciting biking trails and incredible
natural grandeur, something that can only be experienced first-hand!
Spain
From the era of romance to that of vivacity and
adventurousness, ZNMD helped us get a sneak peek of what lies in the mystic
lanes of the beautiful land that Spain is. Right from the exhilarating beaches
of the awe-inspiringCosta Brava coast to the primitive walled-village and the
spell-binding Tossa de Mar castle, ZNMD took us to places galore and how! Now,
if that’s not enough to lure you to the prospect of visiting this impeccable
destination, we’re sure the incredibly passionate lifestyle of the people,
which is sophisticated yet full of fervour surely will! Not to mention the
wondrously beautiful mountain ranges of Picos de Europa and Pyrenees, that are
worth every bit of your time!
Goa
The go-to destination for every Indian,
whether for pleasure trip with friends, a family vacation or for a romantic
getaway, the magic that Goa creates never seems to fade away! And the essence
of this place’s charm has been captured the best in a movie that showcased the
life that we all once dreamt of, but could never truly realise. Yes,
DilChahtaHai it was! The Fort Aguada, the Chapora fort and the exotic beaches
that North Goa
has to offer, this movie captured it all! However, as any place else, even Goa
has to offer much more than just that. The hospitality of the natives, the
unending water-sports, the impeccable night-life all accentuate the beauty of
this destination, while it’s sun-bathed beaches and outstanding architecture
acts as the icing on the cake.
Udaipur
Fondly known as the “Venice of the East”, the charisma that
Udaipur creates stays unmatched! The royal hospitality, the tremendously
breath-taking precincts, and the impeccable setting of the city amongst the
lovely Arravali Ranges helps Udaipur create an aura that one can only seldom
experience. Made hugely popular by the fun-loving youth-oriented movie,
YehJawaaniHaiDeewani, the majesty of Udaipur is simply something that one needs
to indulge in, at least once in a lifetime!
Ladakh
With its snow-capped tracks and breath-taking landscapes,
Ladakh often leaves its tourists speechless. Situated at a whopping height of
14,000 feet, the immensely beautiful roadway to this destination is reason
enough to set foot on this sojourn. Accentuating its beauty by manifolds, is
the Pangong Lake that exhibits the soothing hues of blue in summers, and
becomes land-locked in the winters, as the water freezes. Made famous by its
use in the climax scene of the cult movie, 3 Idiots, this stunning destination
should definitely score high on your bucket list!
