Father's Day 2023- 6 Unique And Thrilling Trips To Take With Your Father

Who comes to mind when you think of the ideal person to accompany you on a trip? We've seen films about buddies going on transforming vacations, families going on group cruises, and couples avoiding police while on the run. How often do you plan extravagant vacations with your parents? Have you ever considered the experience of travelling with your father? If not, here are some ideas to help you make it happen:

# Bird watching in Bharatpur

If your father is a nature enthusiast who enjoys lengthy morning hikes through forests and along lakes, it's time to plan a birdwatching vacation just for the two of you. India attracts more than 450 migratory bird species each year during peak seasons, drawing them to its diverse forest reserves and wetlands. From Bharatpur, Sambhar, and Keoladeo in Rajasthan, to various sanctuaries that not only offer a haven for birds but also boast butterfly populations, and the tranquil Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttarakhand, as well as Odisha's Mangalajodi and Nagzira in Maharashtra, there is an abundance of serene and uncrowded birding hotspots throughout India. Here's a comprehensive list of the finest locations to explore.

# A Konkan Coast Foodie Trip

Believe us when we say that if your father is the master chef of your household, he has likely been eagerly anticipating an extraordinary road trip along the Karnataka coast (or perhaps he has already embarked on it and secretly savored all the delicious cuisine). If you both share a passion for flavors and long drives, it's well worth the 300km journey from Karwar to Udupi/Mangalore. Udupi, Maravanthe, and Mangalore boast a rich culinary heritage and offer a plethora of opportunities for relaxation and enrichment. And let's not forget the delectable temple cuisine available in the coastal temple town of Udupi. Before embarking on your adventure, be sure to read this account to ensure you don't miss out on anything.

# A Wine Tasting Tour

Contrary to popular belief, going on a wine-tasting vacation with your father is far from clichéd. You'll realize this the moment you step foot into a vineyard alongside him. Additionally, it's worth noting that moderate wine consumption has been associated with various health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Are you paying attention? If you're considering a week-long getaway filled with wine tastings, Maharashtra is the ideal destination. Here's substantial evidence to support this claim.

# A Music Festival in the Hills

The concept of traveling to the mesmerizing destination of Ziro (whether by flight or driving, the latter providing a cooler experience despite the longer duration) to partake in the renowned music festival of the same name is absolutely thrilling. This four-day event celebrates the independent music scene in India and occurs during the final week of September annually. The hilly Apatani settlement of Ziro couldn't be a more fitting location for such a festival. However, if you wish to combine wine tasting with music festivals, consider the Sula Fest in Nashik. Nonetheless, since this trip is dedicated to your father, it's best to inquire about his desired destination.

# Cave-Spotting in Badami

If your father has even the slightest interest in history and ancient structures, he will undoubtedly relish a journey to the picturesque cave temples of Badami. Share this captivating tale with him, accompanied by some breathtaking photographs, and let him experience it firsthand. Instead of opting for the more commonly known Ajanta-Ellora caves, consider taking the road to Bagalkot in Karnataka for a unique experience. Another exceptional choice, if you wish to witness the awe-struck expression on the face of the history and archaeology enthusiast in your household, is a visit to the Udayagiri caves in Odisha.

# Quad-biking on Gujarat’s Beaches

This is an opportunity for the hidden adventure enthusiast who has been hiding under the radar of their children for the past few years. Currently, Gujarat has emerged as the ultimate destination for off-roading enthusiasts in the country. Whether it's exploring the vast salt pans of Kutch, discovering the scenic beaches of Mandvi and Shivarajpur, or indulging in thrilling quad-biking adventures in the lush Dang region, your adventurous dad will thoroughly enjoy every moment. Moreover, if you happen to be in Mandvi between February and April, make sure not to miss the exhilarating Mandvi Beach Festival. This event not only offers an exciting ATV experience but also includes activities like parasailing, jet skiing, and bungee jumping.
