    Madhya Pradesh? Other than Jabalpur, of course. What about Pench, Panna for the tiger reserves, Sanchi for the stupas and chambal ghats of the Sholay fame!

    I do appreciate your list but i believe leaving a beautiful place like Bodh Gaya and Nalanda ,one of the most important Buddhist seat in the world is absolutely disheartning .

    1. Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad (A place full of spirituality where Mahatma Gandhiji had spent many years of his lifw)
    2. Gir Forest in Junagadh (Home of Asiatic Lion)
    3. Sundar Van in Bengal (Home of Bengal Tiger)

    Nice list of places to visit, I also agree these places to be visited before 30 to enjoy and have fun alongwith the friends. Had visited some of these (Goa, Konkan Railway, Kolkata, Chandni Chowk), enjoyed Goa a lot.

    Would like to add Mahabaleshwar also, one of the must see place in Maharashtra, India.

    I Think the age limit is just another number. Most people who have commented have done 10-15 of the experiences (me included). It totally depends on how much KEEDA you have to finish the balance, even if that means doing it till you are 40 or 50.
    Travel is life, best experienced on a motorcycle.

    Regarding the Golden Temple, Amritsar, anybody is free to go, have free meals, relax, meditate and do soul-searching without any ticket or entry or any sort of hidden charges, unlike many other places. I am sorry to say, but there is no “wait in endless lines ” @ Golden Temple, if you know what I mean. But of-course at common times, the devotees are expected to be more than other times, as visitors’ cabs or buses would reach at certain relaxed hours of morning or evening. There is only a fast entry in case someone is really old or cannot walk due to some disability, not MONEY queues. The queue is well managed, (no different queue even if someone insists to pay money) and there are fans and coolers every 10 feet, plus the surrounding Sarovar (Pond) brings in the cool winds. Its just surreal.
