#5 Offbeat Destinations That Indian Start-up CEOs Are Picking To Relax & De-stressWhere are the Indian CEOs relaxing and de-stressing themselves?

Travelling often calms down the chaotic brain and makes us more productive and innovative in our approach to work. Start-up CEOs, however, seldom get this opportunity to spend some quiet time, be it sitting amid lush greenery, atop some beautiful hill or watching a sunset while relaxing at a calm beach. But, when they get a chance to unwind, they make the most of it!

Such a pause from work can offer a reprieve from the rigors of the corporate environment. Simultaneously this offers others in the organization to hold-the-fort in the interim period and thereby creates more leaders. But where are the start-up CEOs heading? Entrepreneur India spoke to Gunjan Indrayan, Director & Co-Founder, Tripoetic Travel Planner, who reveals what's gaining popularity among them.

Stunning architecture, charming neighbourhoods, fashion loving trendy people and intimate sidewalk cafes are just some of the reasons why Buenos Aires is often called the Paris of South America.

Drive to the End of the World in Patagonia, where vast remote land will help you disconnect from the world while the picturesque landscape will make you wonder why this destination isn't more popular," he said.
