Why British Columbia is every Indian travel junkie's dream destination

By Minu Mishra

I am an Indian, travel lover and just visited British Columbia, so you know why you should read on.

Here's why you can't miss the beauty of British Columbia!


1. It literally needs no Filter.

Welcome to Whistler a heavenly destination. Whistler is a town north of Vancouver, British Columbia, that's home to Whistler Blackcomb, one of the largest ski resorts in North America. Besides skiing and snowboarding, the area offers snowshoeing, tobogganing and ski jumping at the Olympic Park, a venue for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. #etpt #beautifulbc🍁 #whistlerlove

2. Whenever your eyes look for colour changing weather, you can spot Northern lights.

The milky way aligns nicely with the endless flow of this powerful waterfall. I may attempt a hike down to the bottom of these falls once they freeze over this winter. . . . . . #ourplanetdaily #master_shots #fantastic_earth #ig_worldclub #igglobalclub #exklusive_shot #longexpoelite #nightphotography #dream_image #globalcapture #earthpix #earth_deluxe #allnatureshots #Big_shotz #jaw_dropping_shots #awesomeearth #ig_escaype #artofvisuals #unique_shots #moodygrams #awesome_earthpix #igbest_shotz #greatshotz #sunset_vision #night_excl #theimaged #thevisualcollective #etpt #etpanachetravel

3. The myriad hues of the maple leaves are testimony to the fact that you're in Canada.

They say British Columbia is very beautiful, we say ‘true that!’ Indian travelers must explore BC Canada during Falls and Winter. It’s magical during these periods. #etpt #kamloops #britishcolumbia #beautifulBC

5. Victoria has a heritage and historical vibe, that will remind you of Indian architectures.

7. Every city in the BC region has a City Park to awaken your inner Buddha.

City Park Kelowna: This beachfront public park on Okanagan Lake has a long sandy beach, lawn bowling, children's waterpark, aqua park, playground, picnic area, mobile and static concession stands, skateboard park, running track, sportsfield as well as change room and washroom facilities. It’s a must visit, when In Kelowna. #beautifulbc🍁 #ETPT

8. Whale watching is one of the must-have experiences in the itinerary.

9. The waterfalls are everywhere in the entire region. You can literally stop by on your journey (only if the signs say so/if it's allowed) you'd see some incredible waterfalls.

Helmcken Falls is a 141 m waterfall on the Murtle River within Wells Gray Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. The protection of Helmcken Falls was one of the reasons for the creation of Wells Gray Provincial Park in 1939. There is no way that you cannot pay visit to this beauty when you’re here. On the back to Kamloops, we also visited Dawson falls, which is barely a 5-10 minutes away from here. #BeautifulBC #Etpt

10. The lakes and hikes will make you so health conscious that you'd make your resolutions already.

Knox Mountain park is a treasure of beautiful wild over the gorgeous mountain with various trails. It kisses the sun before human lives can. Standing over a million years ago, it offers serenity to everyone reaching out to it. For an Indian traveler it is the best place to start your morning with, hike and jog 🙌🏻 #etpt #beautifulbc
