Congratulations to Maharashtra, India (Maharashtra Tourism Official), the #2 Mountain Destination in India in Tripscout’s first annual Mountain Destination Awards. 🏔️🇮🇳
With dramatic hill landscapes, lush forests, scenic valleys and historic forts, Maharashtra offers a beautiful mix of nature, adventure and rich cultural heritage. 🌿⛰️✨
These awards are powered entirely by Tripscout’s Social IQ data engine, which tracks engagement performance across every post from more than 1,100 mountain destinations worldwide. There are no editorial picks, no panels, and no votes. The rankings are determined purely by social media performance over the 2026 calendar year to date.
As social media has become the leading source of travel inspiration, destination engagement is increasingly central to how leisure travellers discover and choose where to go. The DMOs recognised on this list have built strong, consistent relationships with their audiences online.
We’ll be announcing China’s #1 mountain destination on Monday! Which destination do you think it will be? 👀🏔️
