Bengaluru: The pandemic has taught us the tough lessons of being confined in our rooms for a number of days. The irony was, even though we were connected by the square boxes of the internet (aka video calls), we were just looking at an empty screen. As the world has started to cripple along the lines of the trend of working from home, there’s another boom on the sidelines. Ever heard of work from anywhere? If not, you are in for a treat.
Imagine you are working remotely in your own comfort. If you are an introvert like me, then you would be super glad to not have to see faces throughout the day. Extra bonus to the very same thought would be this: you are comfortably sitting in your room, witnessing the beautiful sunrise among the vast mountains. I can’t promise you about the network connectivity though.
So grab a cup of coffee and dive into the most exotic places for your workation!
Dharamshala
The most peaceful and calm destination for all mountain lovers. Located in the state of Himachal Pradesh, the city is home to cedar forests and is closer to the Himalayas. Moreover, the spiritual surroundings would be the perfect getaway to spend your evenings post-work.
Spend time with your true self and unleash your potential that would not just surprise you but also your colleagues as well!
Wayanad
Famously called the ‘Spice Garden of India’, the fragrance of spices and various fruits would be the perfect boost to attend your daily meetings. If you are a plantation lover, the vast plantations on the foothills of the mountains are sure to take your stress away. Go visit the Neelimala View Point or the Wayanad Heritage Museum. You are bound to fall in love forever with history and the beauty this place holds.
Mussoorie
Reconnect with yourself through the lofty view of the greenery present in this city located in Uttarakhand. Located in the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayan range, reconnect with your true self. If that one important call is stressing you out, don’t worry, mother nature will soothe you. It’s also said that the place also has a high-speed internet connection available amidst the mountains. What are you waiting for?
Goa
Famous for its none other party destination for GenZ’s, the place can be a beautiful place for beach lovers. But one should make sure to avoid commercial beaches that are more touristy in nature. One shouldn’t be breaking their heads on spending a fortune on this destination, as it’s going to be affordable as compared to other destinations on the list.
Chikkamagaluru
To all the residents of Karnataka, this place shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. The place stands as a hill station located in the southwest of India. If you are a coffee-lover like me, a fresh cup of coffee at Baba Budangiri, a mountain range in the Western Ghats, is the perfect place. The Coffee Museum roars the history of how coffee first originated in our country back in the 18th century.
Although these places are enriched with their own beauty of the serene environment, one should also remember that there’s no place like home. But very often, you can give yourself a break and explore these places, making these unknown destinations known for the rest of your life.
