Hawaii
If you love leisure driving with towering coastal cliffs, plunging waterfalls, dense jungle, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, then the legendary 64-mile stretch, known as the Hana Highway or Road to Hana, along the North-Eastern coast of Maui with 600 curvy bends is meant for you. All you need is a power-packed jeep and you are set to rock the show.
Bhutan
Regarded as the ‘happiest country in Asia’, the place has endless reasons to visit. It is preferred to enter Bhutan through the Jaigaon-Phuntsholing border in West Bengal since the popular cities of Paro & Thimphu are closer from here. The changing environment, scenic beauty, and the local dishes won’t let you leave this surreal kingdom.
Thailand
Forget flights and plan the beyond-awesome road trip from India to Thailand on the wide and smooth Delhi-Myanmar-Thailand Highway. Don’t forget to take midway breaks, because once you are here, you will need a superpower to indulge in diverse experiences like exotic beaches, a happening nightlife, temples & churches, night markets, adventure opportunities, and remarkable cuisines.
Iceland
Iceland trumps the standard mountain/beach offering of most road trips with volcanoes, icebergs and, of course, the Northern Lights. Here, the endless snow-covered horizons, wild horses and crashing waterfalls are worth a view. Take a halt for a week and visit Golden Circle in the west, the waterfalls, and lagoons of the south and fjords and mountain passes of the east. For an unbeatable overnight view of the Northern Lights head to the remote Ion Adventure Hotel.
Nepal
With limitless beauty and endless things to explore, a road trip to Nepal is the best gift that you can give yourself this season. The best way to enter the country is through the Sunauli border in UP, which is about 180 km from Gorakhpur. And once you’re through, the charming views of the snowy Himalayas, tranquil stupas and rustic forests are all yours! Also, don’t forget to stay for a few days, get the feel of the place and relish the local flavour of traditional Momos, Chatamari and Dheedo.
Australia
With its sparse population and diverse wildlife, the Great Ocean Road coastal highway is a must visit here. You can also plan a trip to Melbourne along 150 miles of sheer cliffs, dense rainforests, and colonial towns. Don’t forget to sample the local seafood and regional wine before taking a well-deserved rest in some of the area’s luxury boltholes, such as Tsala Treetop Lodge.
Myanmar
Road trips are incomplete without a pinch of risk. You can plan an exciting trip to Myanmar by road via the spectacular Delhi to Bangkok Highway. Make sure that you have completed all the formalities for international tourists travelling through Border Checkpoints before starting your trip. Once all set, be ready for once-in-a-lifetime experience amidst golden pagodas, legendary traditions, astounding landscapes, and an old-world architecture of this ancient kingdom.
Malaysia
Malaysia is one place filled with diversity. From towering skyscrapers standing beside Hindu temples, Chinese sanctums to a surplus natural biodiversity, the unique blend of the cultural ethos of this nation is splendid. Here mountains, coral islands, and tropical rainforests are among the list of best experiences one can indulge in.
