<\/div>\n

India might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of the best countries to work from. But it\u2019s definitely worth another look.<\/p>\n

The Asian country has plenty of destinations on offer, with a range of costs and settings. You\u2019ll find good wifi in many spots, too. Some of these destinations are so immersive you\u2019ll hardly feel like you\u2019re working at all.<\/p>\n

Why become a digital nomad?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not already thinking about it, why should you consider becoming a digital nomad? Studies stretching over the past decade<\/strong> have found that a flexible approach to working has huge benefits on our mental and physical health. With the right set-up and planning, your income could also benefit, especially if you choose a destination where living costs are lower than where you earn your salary.<\/p>\n

From tranquil beaches to mountain peaks, here are some of India\u2019s best locations for a workation.<\/p>\n

Goa<\/strong><\/p>\n

A prime opportunity for productivity and rejuvenation, this state\u2019s ever-popular beaches are an essential consideration for any travellers looking to work with an ocean view.<\/p>\n

Goa\u2019s expansive infrastructure and booming economy means it offers workations at every price point. Luxury villas with sea views allow you to sit on a balcony with a laptop and a beverage, but there\u2019s scope for more simplistic getaways too.<\/p>\n

Cosy beach huts in some of the less tourist-y spots allow for an abundance of relaxation while you work on your latest client brief.<\/p>\n

Not only that, Goa is an excellent place for cultural exploits in your time out. There is something for everyone. Active types can try water sports down by Anjuna beach<\/a><\/strong>. If all you want at the end of a working week is a stiff drink, hit up Tito\u2019s beachside bar and club to let off some steam.<\/p>\n

Varkala, Kerala<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Goa\u2019s greatness has been tried and tested on you one too many times, Varkala might offer a more offbeat alternative.<\/p>\n

Its beaches and lakes are suited to the less tourist-focused traveller.<\/p>\n

Hailed as a groundbreaker in responsible tourism, Kerala is host to sweeping mountain vistas and expansive tea estates. It prides itself on maintaining its gorgeous farms and fishing lakes, with the ecological benefits remaining front and centre for those that wish to make their trips as climate conscious as possible.<\/p>\n

Workation dwellers hail Verkala\u2019s expansive caf\u00e9s for that real taste of homeworking. The area is full of opportunities to grab a seaside drink and snack. We recommend Cafe del Mar<\/a><\/strong> on the awe-inspiring north cliffs. It serves everything from delicious teas to complex curries, with incredible views to boot.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t mistake seclusion for boredom though – Kappil Beach<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s hidden ponds make for great weekend exploration.<\/p>\n

Darjeeling, West Bengal<\/strong><\/p>\n

If co-working is more your thing, Darjeeling offers a host of spots to do so. Described as having a \u2018youthful vibe\u2019 for workations, this is one for those that like to have a bit of company.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, you get to do it at the foot of the snowy peaks of the Himalayas.<\/p>\n

Looking for an unconventional start to your trip? The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway<\/a><\/strong> features a train offering connections to a number of prime workation destinations. It\u2019s not the most efficient way to do things, but it\u2019s the perfect way to see incredible surroundings.<\/p>\n

If going away to work doesn\u2019t negate a series of pretty hefty deadlines, a taxi from Bagdogra airport is probably easier and takes way less time.<\/p>\n

Gokarna, Karnataka<\/strong><\/p>\n

Labelled as hippiedom’s final frontier by Cond\u00e9 Nast traveller, this is the absolute go to for fans of impressive architecture cloaked within boundless flurries of greenery.<\/p>\n

Maintaining your wilting office houseplants needn\u2019t be necessary – you\u2019ll be face to face with endless vegetation no matter where your apartment sits in this hilly retreat.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s growing popularity ensures that those wanting to blitz through emails with a stellar view are not compromised by technology. There are dozens of getaways offering wifi connectivity in stunning apartments modelled after ancient temples.<\/p>\n

Gokarna is a lot more than just India\u2019s southern stopover – the temple town is great for history buffs, too. We recommend a visit to one of its many sacred sites, like the Mahabaleshwar Temple<\/a><\/strong> dating back to Hinduism in the 4th century.<\/p>\n

Udaipur, Rajasthan<\/strong><\/p>\n

This \u2018City of Lakes\u2019 makes India\u2019s must-see lists time and time again, attracting creativity-driven digital nomads yearly. It has a huge market for hostel stays alongside some more premium options and encourages long term experiences for those in jobs that can afford them to take some real time to work away.<\/p>\n

You best believe you\u2019ll be bringing a proper camera on this particular workation, for there is just so much to take in. Lake Garden Palace<\/a><\/strong> floats within a stretch of the bluest waters you’ll ever see, and is a feat of Indian architectural prosperity. Shilpgram<\/a><\/strong> – a rural arts and crafts market that promotes Udaipur\u2019s local talents – is well worth a visit for those in the creative industries looking to be truly inspired.<\/p>\n

Kullu, Himachal Pradesh<\/strong><\/p>\n

Try a cabin in the woods, but reimagined for a totally different continent.<\/p>\n

Known as \u2018Valley of the Gods\u2019 for its popularity as a Hindu retreat, Kullu has met newfound popularity as a workation destination for its nature-centric way of living. Rated Thrillopia\u2019s top spot for Indian workations, the forests of Kullu make for the perfect pared back workspace.<\/p>\n

The region only became accessible following Indian independence, so decades of remote standing have allowed its sublime woodlands and apple orchids to flourish. Downtime can be spent on a plethora of hiking routes throughout the Great Himalayan National Park<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Though if hiking isn\u2019t your thing – let’s be honest, it isn\u2019t for everyone – Kullu\u2019s rivers offer a number of activities, from rafting to fishing. Don\u2019t be put off by the uber-remote setting though, as Kullu\u2019s position as a prime secluded workspace ensures it\u2019s cabins have strong internet capabilities.<\/p>\n
