Also known as God’s Own Country, mesmerizing backwaters of Kerala, the gripping waterfalls, hill stations and the peaceful atmosphere make the state one of the most favored tourist destinations.

I can understand Sikkim and AP/south tibet..particularly sikkim,but don't know why Assam was included with the two.Assam has more in common with India than the rest region tbh.
 
Why weren't Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakhtunkhwa included? They have the most beautiful landscapes in Pakistan and amongst the most beautiful in South Asia.
If you want i can include them. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is indeed beautiful & Gilgit-Baltistan can be considered to be under J&K. But if you want it as a separate entity i will do it.

Yes, do include them, both together.
 
If you want to enjoy Nature you will find J&K,Himanchal & Uttarakhand most amazing places.If you want to enjoy Man made architecture you will definitely enjoy the Forts and palaces of Rajasthan

true but there is nothing unique about that kind of natural beauty its available in abundance in every country every continent.
 
@Lord Zen option is still missing..

true but there is nothing unique about that kind of natural beauty its available in abundance in every country every continent.

Actually you're wrong. Those type of beautiful landscapes are most definitely not found everywhere - only a few countries can boast them. Chiefly amongst them you have Pakistan and India.
Of course I'm not saying that beauty is not found elsewhere.
 
I'm unable to edit the options. Also i'm unable to add an addition option since they are only allowing 10 options.
So i added Khyber Pakhtunkhwa & Gilgit-Baltistan in my post.
Mods -- please add my option 7 for voting.
@waz @WebMaster

Hi Zen, I've tried but it's not allowing me to set up another option. I think the max is 7? :undecided:
