Four Indian places among 100 top destinations in the world
Time Magazine has revealed the list of 100 greatest places of 2018 in the world to visit. The list includes Theme parks, Bars, Hotels, Restaurants etc. They have considered the new inventions, quality of services, facilities and amenities, while selecting the places.
From among 48 countries in 6 continents, 100 destinations have been selected by the Magazine’s selection team, which consist of prominent industrialists, media personnel etc.
Four Indian places could occupy place in the list; they are Sundar Nursery an Indian Accent Restaurant – both in Delhi, Alila Fort Bishangarh in Rajasthan and Obroi Sukhvilas Rsort and Spa in Chandigarh are the four places in the list of 100.
Other than just green places, Delhi offers tourists a great choice for some mouth-watering food. Indian Accent is one such restaurant that has also made a place in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for six consecutive years. Their main chef Manish Mehrotra is a winner of ‘Best Chef Award in India’ by American Express. From pulled-pork phulka tacos to blue cheese naan and galautis stuffed with foie grass, the restaurant has lots for foodies
Sunder Nursery was launched in February 2018. It is the city’s first arboretum, which offers a respite from the pollution and the crowds. It is a 90-acre horticultural sanctuary with restored Mughal-era monuments. In what sounds like a most awaited solace to Delhi, it will be soon linked to a neighbouring zoo and fort to create a 900-acre sanctum of greenery
Alila fort was home to royalty around 200 years ago. It was after seven year-long revamping works by Alila Hotels and Resorts; it has been turned into a luxury hotel. The interesting thing is that it still retains its original features like turrets, dungeons and secret passageways. It is one of the top rated restaurants as per Trip advisor visitors. Those who want to be away from hustles and bustles of city life can opt for Alia fort as a retreat.
Oberoi Sukhvilas Resort & Spa in Chandigarh is a 12,000-square feet wellness center, settled among 8,000 acres of forested Himalayan foothills. Made for guests to have a break from the busy life and flounder in the peace and quietness of nature, it also offers Ayurveda courses up to 21 days long, plus digital detoxes and personalized fitness programs.
Golden Bridge in Vietnam; Tianjin Binhai Library, Tianjin, China; Tippet Rise Art Center, Stillwater County, Montana; Seoullo 7017 Skygarden, Seoul, South Korea; Cycling Through Water, Genk, Belgium are among the places in the 100 greatest destinations.
