In the current globalised society, having a digital detox is now becoming a necessity in the mind. October is the ideal month to disconnect, unwind and enjoy nature without any distractions. India has a number of places where there is no Wi-Fi, and there is peace.

Tirthan Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Tirthan Valley is a peaceful retreat enclosed by the Great Himalayan National Park. Travellers have an opportunity to take walks along the rivers, fish in trout streams and participate in forest walks without thinking about screens and digital messages.

Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Spiti Valley is a region with mountainous terrain and ancient monasteries that give it a total connection to nature, free of city life. Its rugged landscape, isolation of villages, and elevated trails make it the best location to think and meditate.

Gokarna, Karnataka
The beaches in Gokarna are sparkling fresh and offer just the right environment to meditate, practice yoga and stroll along the coastline. However, as compared to its busier counterparts, this beach city focuses on simplicity and nature instead of Internet ease.

Ziro Valley, Arunachal Pradesh
The rice terraces and tribal culture in Ziro Valley provide an all-natural, all-traditional experience. Having only minimal digital connectivity, visitors are able to hike on the trails, mingle with the locals and attend the local music festivals.

Pangong Lake, Ladakh
The Pangong Lake, with its crystal clear waters and barren mountains, promotes thought and peace. Tourists can camp by the lake in the sky of stars, without the din of the city and electronic disturbances.

Kausani, Uttarakhand
Kausani is situated in the Kumaon hills, and it can provide panoramic views of the Himalayas. The cool weather of October and the bright autumn scenery are the ideal ingredients of quiet contemplation and peaceful escape.

Majuli, Assam
The largest river island in the world, Majuli, is inhabited by peaceful monasteries and green vegetation. Tourists are able to learn about traditional culture, participate in handloom and pottery classes, and actually live without the Internet.

Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh
Khajjiar is known as the Mini Switzerland of India because the meadows, pine forests and fresh mountain air are an ideal place to unplug. The warm weather in October boosts long walks, meditations and peaceful cottage stays.

Going on a digital detox vacation means that a person can re-engage with themselves, the natural world, and the basic pleasures of life. These anti-Wi-Fi resorts are quiet, air-filled, and free of the stress and pressures of technology, so October is the month to relax and rejuvenate.
