In this age of Facebook and Twitter obsession, where anything that catches our attention is a potential candidate for the next Instagram or snapchat upload, it's important to sometimes unplug from the constant whirr of Facebook updates and Whatsapp notifications and enjoy the little things along the way. Every time a delicious meal is presented to us or for that matter when we see a beautiful sunrise/sunset, why is it that we feel the urge to pull out our ‘smartphones’ from our pockets and click a picture instead of actually living that moment and appreciating whats around us?

So next time when you want to enjoy a real vacation and no, by enjoy I don’t mean posting pictures and updating your status but actually enjoying the beauty of nature, there is a list of tech-free destinations that'll help you revel in the real joy of living life!

1. 1. Kheerganga, Himachal Pradesh

Away from the busy calls of the city, Kheerganga rests on one of the highest points of Himachal Pradesh and can be reached only by trekking for a couple of hours to the top.

There are huge mountains that cover you from all sides and there is a hot water spring, which calls all the tired travelers to it. No phone coverage and a good holiday, thatâ€™s whatâ€™s in store for you on your trip to Keerganga.
