Netflix has been making movies and shows in India for ten years.

To celebrate, it joined hands with India's Ministry of Tourism.

Together, they made a special part of the official travel website called 'As Seen on Netflix.'

When you watch a show, you might wonder where it was filmed.

Now you can look it up and plan a real trip to those places.

For example, you can visit the forests from The Elephant Whisperers in Tamil Nadu.

You can also explore the grand heritage settings from Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.

The launch was announced by a government minister and Netflix's co-CEO.

They said this will help travellers and also help filmmakers find great new places to shoot in India.

Indian embassies in other countries will share videos to invite people around the world to visit.
