New Delhi: The pristine beaches of Goa, snowy mountains of Himachal Pradesh and glitz and glamour of Mumbai were all trumped by the national capital to top the list of most favourite destinations in India, according to a survey.

Conducted by by Wego, a travel search site, the survey has declared New Delhi as the most sought destination within the country. Most of the users of the portal are business travellers.

Mumbai is not far behind at second on the list, while Goa, the destination for all the party hoppers, got the third spot, followed by Bangalore and Chennai respectively.
