Plantrip.io users created 84 new itineraries on January 13, 2026, with Japan dominating trip plans and India’s Northeast and Goa emerging as focal points for nature and culture. Short, purpose-built getaways—from Sydney to Uluru and Las Vegas city breaks—also featured prominently as travelers balanced quick escapes with longer, multi-country ambitions.
Japan led the day’s interest. Multiple travelers mapped four-day Tokyo stays clustered around Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, Senso-ji in Asakusa, Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Tower, pairing city time with ambitious day trips to Mt. Fuji hot springs, Nikko’s Toshogu Shrine and waterfalls, and Nagano’s snow monkeys. Others plotted three-day Osaka plans with a day in Nara focused on autumn foliage illuminations, food, and a modern-meets-traditional mix. A separate Kyoto-focused planning prompt centered stays in Downtown (Kawaramachi), Gion, Kyoto Station, and Arashiyama—highlighting how neighborhood choice shapes access to temples, transit, and classic streetscapes.
In India, Meghalaya drew sustained attention with several five-day requests based out of Umroi, while students planned a budget route from Guwahati to Shillong with homestays and cultural stops. Goa surfaced in varied forms: classic four-day beach breaks around Cabo de Rama, Cola, Colva, and casino nights; and a detailed, one-day Bird-Watching Experience in central Goa covering Chorao Island’s Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, the Mandovi estuary, and Carambolim Lake. The wildlife-forward tour—starting at 05:15 AM with guided mangrove walks, estuary boat spotting, and wetland photography—stood out for its small-group, eco-friendly approach and emphasis on naturalist-led interpretation.
Road trips and temple circuits shaped domestic India plans elsewhere: Hyderabad–Shirdi pilgrimages timed for an 8 February stay, with add-ons to Ajanta, Ellora, and Nashik; Vijayawada routes through Bhadrachalam, Maredumilli, and Araku Valley; and heritage-focused visits to Udaipur, Khajuraho with Orchha, Varanasi–Prayagraj loops, and three-day Kashi family itineraries. Quick escapes included Dharamshala–McLeod Ganj, Coorg (one to two days), Palakkad from Bengaluru by car, and Patna, Puri, Shirdi, Vrindavan, Omkareshwar–Indore, and Chamarajanagar.
Further afield, travelers planned a two-day dash from Sydney to Uluru, one-day Sydney city sprints, and loop drives around Tasmania starting in Hobart. Long-haul and luxury-leaning ideas ranged from London–Bangkok spring dates and a five-night Las Vegas stint to Ionian Islands Greece for 14 days, Northern Italy (Bologna–Modena–Parma with an Alba weekend) for food and wine, and multi-stop Europe circuits—Austria, Switzerland, Germany—plus a Norway 16-day self-drive excluding Bergen. Honeymooners zeroed in on Slovenia and Croatia (Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Dubrovnik, Korčula, possibly Hvar) with Michelin-minded dining, while other plans targeted halal-friendly resorts, Bali weeklong food itineraries, and combined Bali–Singapore family trips. Short city stays dotted the map from Stockholm and London to Budapest, Singapore, Huatulco, Langkawi, Coimbatore, Pasay, and a Denver honeymoon.
Closer to home, family-friendly road routes appeared between Melbourne–Sydney–Canberra and Southern California’s Orange County to Death Valley with an overnight in Pahrump. Across the board, travelers sought efficient grouping of attractions, nature-forward experiences, and culinary depth—signaling a day defined by smart routing, meaningful landscapes, and memorable meals.
