Travelers on Plantrip.io created 117 new itineraries in the last 24 hours, with India dominating short-break planning and complex multi-country routes drawing attention. From temple-focused circuits across South India to quick Valentine’s Day escapes in Chandigarh, users are prioritizing efficient road and rail journeys, cultural depth, and value stays.
Short, purpose-driven India trips lead the activity. Multiple plans center on Jaipur weekend getaways, Kerala and Tamil Nadu temple trails, and concise 3-day circuits such as Bangalore–Rameshwaram–Madurai, optimized to tackle the longer Rameshwaram leg first. North-bound pilgrimages to Ayodhya and Varanasi appear in detail, while several Meghalaya 4-night/5-day itineraries and a Gujarat Kutch plan highlight interest in the Northeast and Western deserts. Food features prominently in city breaks like a 7-day New York culinary itinerary and Varanasi lane-walks focused on chaat.
Rail-based grand tours are trending in Central Europe. Repeated submissions map a 12-day July journey linking Frankfurt, Worms, Heidelberg, Stuttgart, Strasbourg, Zurich, Salzburg, Vienna, and Bratislava, often capped at five to six hotel bases with day tours and half-day walks. Alpine train segments and Neuschwanstein Castle are recurring highlights, underscoring demand for scenic, car-free travel across borders.
Summer by the sea is another clear theme. Algarve planners are building 6-day July stays split between Faro and Lagos, while Greek island notes include Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete for 10–12 days. In the Americas, a major road adventure charts a route from Jacksonville through the Midwest and Rockies to Canada and toward Alaska via the Alcan Highway, with national parks, campgrounds, and landmarks like Devil’s Tower, Banff, Jasper, and the Enchanted Highway. Separate U.S. plans feature Savannah weekends, Napa girls’ trips, California park loops with Yosemite, and extended California–Las Vegas combinations.
Long-haul Asia remains active. Multiple 21-day China itineraries (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, and occasionally Foshan or Zhuhai) specify 4–5 star hotels with twin large-bed rooms and a focus on shopping, technology, and food. Japan appears with a 14-day family route from Tokyo to Osaka via Kyoto and Hiroshima, while Sri Lanka beach-leisure plans combine temple visits with relaxed resort stays. Middle East interest is strong: several Mumbai-origin itineraries pair the Dead Sea, Petra, and Cairo hot-air balloon experiences, with some adding Cyprus.
Other notable plans include Melbourne (late May–early June stays), Vancouver-bound U.S. road trips via San Francisco and the Redwoods, Canada 10-day ideas, Bali 5–6 day adventure-beach blends from Pune, and honeymoon blueprints ranging from Switzerland-with-Paris (Feb 14 in Paris) to Hawaii-focused three-week journeys aligned with California and Banff stopovers. Brief notes also flagged Porto–Rio–Salvador routing in late March and a quick Chandigarh Valentine’s Day outing.
