Winter is best season for travelling

Winter is set to descend upon the Indian subcontinent. All those plans which had to be shelved due to summer heat or monsoon chaos now is the opportunity to realize them.
Snow-laden peaks and snowfall are what we generally picture when we think of winter, no? Well, India has more on offer, than that. We have listed your options, from desert sunset in Jaisalmer to parties in Goa to the backwaters of Kerala, and not to miss..snow!

Munnar, Kerala

Known as the land of tranquillity, Munnar is surrounded by rolling lush green hills dotted with tea plantations, in the Western Ghats. It also has a lot on offer, catering to both honeymooners and adventure seekers. Treks to Anaimudi (South India’s highest peak) for picturesque views and camping, followed by mesmerizing sunrise, the climb is worth it. While, Mattupetty Dam and Lakkam falls, make a romantic spot for a couple, yo!

Bonus tip! Visit Eravikulam Park to see the hills aflame with blue Neelakurinji, which are known to grow once in 12 years.

Tamilnadu

Moderate temperatures and cool breezes warrant a heavy footfall of tourists in Tamil Nadu, probably the best season to explore the state steeped with natural beauty, spirituality, and history. Ooty and Kodaikanal, are two particular hill stations that no tourist would dare miss it! And that is not all. In the coastal city of Kanyakumari, relax while gazing at the sunset amid the gushing waves of the Indian ocean.

Get closer to nature in Bharatpur Bird sanctuary and witness the national animal of India, the tiger in its royal splendor in Ranthambore.

Gujarat

The land of the vast expanse of white sand, straight out of a fairy-tale, experience the Rann Utsav in the Rann of Kutch.

You can visit the city of Ahmedabad and Junagadh to get your dose of history.

Delhi

The simmering heat of Delhi keeps many away from exploring this gem of a destination.
