Japan Dominates Planning Boards as Goa, Rajasthan and US Baseball Trips Add Variety
Travelers spent the past 24 hours charting ambitious, experience-rich trips, with Japan clearly in the spotlight on Plantrip.io. Multiple users built detailed loops linking Tokyo, Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go, Takayama, Kyoto, Kinosaki Onsen, Nara, Koyasan, Osaka, Fujinomiya, and Kamakura—some stretching to 14–15 days with luggage-forwarding, temple stays, and Fuji views—while others asked for seven-day, budget-minded Japan plans from India and New York.
Closer to home, India travel is buzzing. Goa features prominently with requests for 3–4 day budget trips in February and a highly curated Feb 12–16 friends’ itinerary split between Cola Beach and Assagao, packing in kayaking, water sports, cycling, feni tastings, club nights, tile-painting or treasure hunts in Fontainhas, and hopes of spotting turtle hatchlings. Rajasthan appears in several weeklong plans with Jawai leopard safaris, Mount Abu add-ons, and vegetarian street-food stops, while short breaks to Ooty, Kodaikanal, Badami, and pilgrimages across Akkalkot–Gangapur–Pandharpur–Tuljapur are also trending.
Internationally, Southeast Asia remains a favorite. Travelers are piecing together Bangkok–Pattaya shopping-and-beach combos before hopping to Phuket, then on to a relaxed Kuala Lumpur stay focused on KLCC, Plaza Low Yat tech shopping, and a famed temple visit. Dubai, Sri Lanka, Bhutan (six-day, rest-friendly routes), Vietnam from Chennai, and a Nairobi week are also on the map. In Europe, families are planning Vienna with outlet shopping in Parndorf and quick city hops like three days in Munich or Dinan, France; one traveler flagged a July 2026 Hungary F1 trip paired with Poland.
Sports and road trips add distinct flavor. A complex August 2026 MLB swing drew attention: one home game each for the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, and Atlanta Braves within eight days, plus a sightseeing day in Washington, D.C., all starting and ending in Seattle and avoiding flights on game days. College-bound families are sketching campus circuits through the University of Tennessee, South Carolina, Auburn, and Clemson, while a French-language request outlines a route from Mons, Belgium, to Châteauroux via Paris’s N104 bypass.
Other notable plans include beach time in Gokarna, temple-focused getaways to Rameshwaram and Ayodhya, Andaman and Nicobar islands in late March, Kashmir weeklong escapes, Gujarat coastal circuits from Vadodara to Diu–Gir–Somnath–Dwarka, and practical city breaks tied to events like the International Builders’ Show in Orlando. Amid the serious planning, a whimsical thread of "Cat World" amusement-park fantasies popped up repeatedly—proof that even as 86 itineraries took shape, travelers are keeping their imaginations wide open.
