U have some great options there........ best for the time being would be Pondicherry which can be both economical and peaceful. But u could also try the beautiful untouched amazing beachs on the east coast road. But i would advise do not take off alone or as a couple.....its pretty dangerous in an unknown territory. As a family or a group of friends u can have more fun and a very pleasant day. U could also go to Mahabalipuram.... but it too crowded.
If nothing works....... ur home is or can be made the most peaceful place on the whole damn earth. |
