Rajasthan – Royal Retreats and Desert Magic

For culture enthusiasts, the Jaipur Literature Festival and the Jaisalmer Desert Festival add a festive sparkle to the season.
Kerala – God’s Own Country, in Its Coolest Mood
Kerala’s backwaters and beaches radiate serenity during winter.

Wildlife lovers can enjoy boat safaris in the Periyar Sanctuary surrounded by pristine hills and clear skies.
Andaman Islands – Tropical Warmth and Azure Waters
While much of the mainland cools, the Andamans welcome travelers with sunlit shores, gentle sea breezes, and azure waters. Ideal for snorkeling, scuba diving, and leisurely beach strolls, these islands offer the perfect blend of adventure and calm.

Boutique retreats amid plantations and coastal resorts offering holistic wellness complete the island’s seasonal allure.
North East India – Winter’s Untouched Wonderland
For those seeking pristine beauty and peaceful solitude, North East India is a winter paradise. Explore Meghalaya’s living root bridges, Sikkim’s snow-kissed monasteries, and Arunachal’s hidden valleys. The Hornbill Festival in Nagaland adds vibrant rhythm to the season, celebrating tribal art, dance, and cuisine. From glacial treks to warm homestays, this region promises an authentic and soulful experience away from the crowds.
Spiritual Journeys – Finding Calm in the Cold
Winter also beckons seekers on spiritual journeys across India’s sacred landscape.
