India, Nov. 15 -- Call it the infamy of Tourism New Zealand's Everyone Must Go campaign or just some good old publicity - tourist footfall, especially from down-under neighbours Australia, as per a Travel and Tour World report, has jumped a straight 12-percent between this time last year and now. Strengthening foreign relations with India too well on the cards, the winter holidays seem to be the perfect time to pay a scenic visit. Travel influencer @thebackpackerguru has just the 5-stop city itinerary, where the call of the wild meets the scenic urbanscape.

Start with a walk along Lake Wakatipu, then head to the bungee jump site for a classic Queenstown thrill. Take the gondola up to the Skyline and try the luge for a quick downhill ride...
