What makes up a classic road trip?A car, a full tank of fuel, your best buddy, some tunes to dance to and the best destinations on the planet. India has many great destinations for you to pull such a trip off. But little do people realize that they can also tattoo their passports and be on the road from India.

And that will the one hell of a story to tell everyone.

The best International road trips from India

Nepal

The mighty Everest looks down on the world from here. Filled with peaceful temples and enchanting always. Nepal is one of those foreign nations that an Indian passport loves. You get your visa on arrival. And the long drives on rugged untrodden paths of nature, an unending panorama for a view makes you feel like you have entered heaven!

Bangladesh

The view of the lands spread with greenery, and host to over 700 rivers, Bangladesh can better be called a country of rivers. The lovely people and their sweet dialect of Bengali make it like home. And it isn’t far away from home either. The sister nation has various entry points with some being Kolkata, Siliguri, Agartala, Shillong and other few lesser-known routes from North-east India. Notably, the country is only accessible by road from these points and much better this way!

Bhutan

The land of Happiness. Bhutan is rated number one on the Happiness index in the world and lives true to the word. Surreally tucked away a small kingdom in the Himalayas, Bhutan is a land of simplicity, spirituality, and meaning for the nomad. And the trip made by road will make sure that no one goes back the same way they walk in.

Myanmar

For those who want to experience minimalistic living and for those looking to be content with what they have, Myanmar is a dream destination. It is a cocktail mixed from the cultures of over 100 different ethnic groups.The nation leaves you lost for words in a wonder of its depth in spirituality and marvelous nature. This land of wonders is just a stone’s throw away from Moreh in Manipur. The current highway is being extended to help travelers reach Thailand.

Thailand

This route is nothing short of epic. It is 3200-kilometer long master route connecting India, Myanmar, and Thailand into the foray of mainland South East Asia which opened in 2016 and with this route Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam are now just a road trip away from India.

Vietnam

Vietnam is more than what meets the eye. The country is filled with surprises. Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi have been ranked the top 25 destinations in the world. And offering you a panoramic view of Vietnam's 1600 islands and islets Ha Long Bay, situated in the Gulf Of Tonkin, is breath-taking. You can enjoy a refreshing whiff of the lush limestone rainforests and national parkland if you aren’t tired after the ride you can try your hand (and feet) at scuba-diving, rock-climbing, and hiking.

Singapore

Annually receiving 15 million tourists Singapore is a place to be for the likes of those who love to party. The city is beautiful, clean and brimming with life. There is so much energy around the city that you will not feel the need to be resting after the road trip and want to go out and explore. Universal Studios, the Merlion statue, the Singapore rainforest zoo are a must do on your list.

Malaysia

The tagline of tourism for Malaysia says “Malaysia truly Asia”. And that is 100 percent true. The country is a mix of nature and modernity. And more certainly the place where Asia meets. There are so many cultures and traditions linked to the people of Malaysia. This makes the country truly global in a larger sense. And it is no short of attractions, activities and a bustle of life. The city of Kuala Lumpur serves all your modern cravings from parties to food. And places like Penang, Sabah fill the soul with its nature and beauty.

Cambodia

At Cambodia, you can be one among the gods. It is a truly spiritual and ethereal experience to be there amidst all that beauty and spirituality. The country stands proof of the history that maybe, just maybe, the Gods walked amongst us. The beautiful temples and the sounds of their silence will resonate in your hearts much after you have left the place. And the people are just as amazing they can get. The pristine landscapes and the vast fields let you see the humility in life. Which is all you need to go on in life and certainly the inspiration for another road trip.
