Living in a busy city does have its perks – there are always shops nearby, you’ll never run out of people to talk to, and you can choose from a multitude of jobs. But the thing is, living in a big city can be exhausting. So if you want to just get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, these tiny hidden villages might just be the place for you.

#3. Phugtal Monastery, India
The Phugtal Monastery is one of the most isolated monasteries in northern India.

#5. Gásadalur Village, Denmark

#6. Huacachina, Peru
