When business executives enter India, they hardly get time to enjoy the countryside beauty. Yet, weekends are the perfect opportunity for exploring scenic and thrilling destinations. Metropolises like Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai or Bangalore offer the typical corporate culture. But small towns and villages around these hotspots can take your breath away. So, focus on your business on weekdays but enjoy the true flavour of Indian travel destinations with weekend getaways.

Mumbai: Businessmen visit Mumbai to explore the potential of India’s financial capital. But, on weekends, you can leave this city and check out some amazing destinations. Goa is one of the most popular weekend destinations, for those willing to splurge on flight tickets, and is almost synonymous with booze, seafood, water sports and parties. Kolad holidays, on the other hands, are increasingly becoming popular for its White River rafting and serene beaches. Sky diving spots around Mumbai offer breathtaking views of the Western Ghats in Maharashtra. Spiritual ashrams around Mumbai can also be ideal if you want to relax and unwind.

Delhi: ...
... the Capital of India is a thriving business and political centre with major administrative and business travellers. Weekenders in this city may find Shimla tour packages to be perfect. This year round destination is just as beautiful in summer as well as in winter. Whether you want to go golfing or trekking, Shimla is the perfect city. This city is surrounded with endless list of attractions such as national parks, temples, palaces, churches, adventure sports centres and amazing picnic spots. No wonder it is a great idea for corporate or group holidays.

If a Shimla tour package is too conventional, you can check out Corbett National Park or Bharatpur for a wildlife safari. Alternatively you can sample in the cultural heritage of India by travelling to Agra, Mathura, Neemrana, Alwar, Mandawa, etc.

Bangalore: this IT city receives the largest number of international business travellers. Urban development has created a great infrastructure in and around city. So, the list of exquisite Bangalore weekend getaways is ever-growing. Yet, there are no clear winners. As there are few wholesome weekend destinations, most travellers plan their weekend to pursue their passion. Families visit Wonderla Amusement Park in Mysore or Yeracaud. Adventure lovers adore trekking in the Nandi hills, through the Skandagiri, visitng the Shivanasamudra waterfalls or Bheemeshwari wildlife sanctuary. With an expansive list, making one choice gets very difficult.

Chennai travellers can explore Kodaikanal for its hilly terrains or Kanyakumari for its beaches as well as temple towns like Mahabalipuram. Business travellers in Pune can explore the local culture or follow Mumbaikars to nearby weekend destinations like Lonavala and Khandala. Yet, the hillside forts near Pune are just perfect for keen adventurers. Keep your weekends alive and pulsating with fun and life with these destinations in India.
