Still don’t know
where to start?

Sightseeing is a part of every tourist's travel itinerary because it helps them explore and view beautiful sites. When tour operators or DMCs make an itinerary for their travellers, they include all the famous sightseeing places and attractions, but this doesn't make them stand out from other travel companies.

If you want to stand out and attract customers to your offering, you need to add a unique element or an offbeat place to visit. So, make sure that the sightseeing experience that you provide is up to the mark.

Let us first understand what a sightseeing experience is - 

• Sightseeing in itself is the activity of visiting places of interest, such as historic landmarks, monuments, museums, and other places of cultural or scenic significance.
   

• A sightseeing experience is a visit to a place of interest or attraction, typically to observe, learn about, and enjoy the sights and landmarks of that location. 
  
  

• A sightseeing experience can be guided or self-guided and can include activities such as taking a tour, visiting an observation deck, or taking a boat or train ride. 
  
  

• The significance of the site in terms of history, culture, natural beauty, the calibre of the tour or guide, and the weather can all contribute to the whole experience being better.
  
   

Some of the rare sightseeing experiences that tour operators can include are:

1. Pink Dolphins :

• Pink dolphins, also known as Amazon River dolphins or botos, are a freshwater species of dolphin that are found in the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon basin in South America
  
  
  
• They are known for their distinctive pink colour, caused by a high concentration of blood vessels near the surface of their skin. Pink dolphins are intelligent and social animals often seen in groups of up to 100 individuals.

• They are also known to be playful and curious, and they have been observed riding the wakes of boats and interacting with humans.
  
  
  

• Due to habitat loss, pollution, and hunting, pink dolphins are an endangered species.

2. Wisteria Flower Tunnel, Japan 

• It is a famous tourist attraction located in Kawachi Fuji Garden, Kitakyushu, Japan.
  
  
  
• It is a picturesque tunnel covered in blooming wisteria flowers that provide a stunning array of colours and fragrances.
  
  
  
• Visitors can walk through the tunnel during the flowering season to enjoy the beauty of the flowers and take photos.
  
  
  
• The garden is known for having one of the largest collections of wisteria in the world and attracts thousands of tourists each year.
  
  
  
• A sightseeing trip to this place will be the perfect way to show tourists the beauty and uniqueness of Japan.

3. Snow Leopard, Great Himalayan National Park

• One place in India that is relatively unknown to tourists is the Great Himalayan National Park.
  
  

• This national park is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, including several endangered species such as the snow leopard, the Himalayan tahr, and the western tragopan.
  
  

• Sighting a snow leopard in the wild is rare and difficult, as they are elusive and inhabit remote areas.
  
  

• However, with little luck and patience, it is possible to spot them, especially with a local guide that knows the area and the best time to spot them.
  
  

• Some tour operators offer guided trekking or hiking trips through the snow leopard's habitat, which can increase the chances of spotting the cat in the wild.
  
  

• These tours may also include other activities such as camping, bird watching, and cultural experiences.
  
  

• Some tour operators also offer photography or wildlife safari tours, which are focused specifically on spotting and photographing snow leopards.
