10 Unexplored Destinations

Travel, in today's times, is all about experiences and going off the beaten path. Looking for unexplored destinations is high on the wish list for most people. Here is a list of destinations that experts believe will be popular in 2023.

1 SVALBARD, NORWAY

Svalbard Islands offers an arctic landscape of raw wilderness and unique animal life besides the energetic city of Longyearbyen.

For me, its international vibe, diversity of its residents, the various cultural offerings of shops, restaurants and bars in proximity to the North Pole stand out as the most unique experience available in the Arctic Archipelago region. Despite its remote location at 78'N, Svalbard can be easily accessed by a short flight from Oslo or Tromso in Norway's mainland. Visitors are guaranteed a nature's real treat of majestic mountains, blue sea ice, endless glaciers all year round. The polar summers offer the midnight sun and an opportunity to see the most wildlife from May to August and intense winters make up for the spectacular Northern lights show besides the wildlife sighting of seals, walruses, and arctic foxes, says Mohit Batra, Country Head Scandinavian Tourist Board, India.

2 SINDHUDURG, INDIA

Nestled in Maharashtra’s Konkan coast, Sindhudurg is surrounded by the Arabian Sea on the West, the Belgaum district (Karnataka state) and Goa on the South and the Ratnagiri district on the North, adding a lifetime memory to your travelogue.
