The Best Travel Destinations to Explore for the Elderly

chance to explore the world as you have longed to do. So, now that you have all
the time in the world a new place is just what you need to rejuvenate you in
the best way possible. Consider these travel tips for seniors to select the right place for you to travel.
· Take a cruise- A cruise is a
wonderful idea for senior travelers.
There is a number of activities on board which can keep you busy and you can
travel and relax all at the same time. You can travel to a number of places not
only in India but also abroad. You can try the Singapore cruise or the Caribbean
and Bahamas. Closer home there are the
cruise trips to Andaman and Nicobar Islands or the Brahmaputra’s. Choose the
suits your purpose and also your budget.
· Travel to hill stations- A
cruise may not sound all that appealing to some people who may be put off by
the idea of sea-sickness. Going with a tour operator of a similar age group to hill stations can open up a whole new avenue
for you. There are some popular hill stations which you can, of course, try but
there are some other off the track hill stations such as Munnar in Kerala or
Shimla, Kulu, Manali with its undulating hills and scenic views can be just
what you need to refresh and rejuvenate yourself.

thronged by different kinds of people, Varanasi can tease your senses in a
number of ways. The mysterious, lanes and bylanes
of Varanasi has a saga of its own. Not to forget the number of temples like
Durga temple, Vishwanath temple, Sankat Mochan temple, Tulsi Manas temple which
are lovely places to visit to feed your inner sense of calm. Take a boat ride
in the early morning to soak in the very essence of Varanasi or attend the
Ganga Aarti in the evening.Varanasi can offer a lot to the eclectic traveler.
Haridwar is another such getaway which can entice you with its scenic beauty along with its beautiful climate. A dip in the holy Ganges or a visit to Harki Pauri ghat to see the evening arati, each has a charm of its own. The gastronomical delights of Haridwar are for those travelers who take their food seriously. There is a lot to offer, most of which is vegetarian but delectable and sumptuous.
·

some historical places like Hampi, Hospet, and Pushkar in Rajasthan which can
