Winter in India is a magical season. From the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas to the sun-kissed beaches of Goa, this vast and diverse country offers a myriad of experiences for travellers seeking to escape the cold or embrace it. If you’re planning a winter getaway, you’re in for a treat.

1.            Kashmir: A Winter Wonderland

When you think of winter in India, one place that instantly comes to mind is Kashmir. Often referred to as “Paradise on Earth,” Kashmir transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland during the cold months. Snow-capped mountains, pristine lakes, and charming wooden houses covered in a blanket of snow make this region a must-visit destination for winter enthusiasts.

2.            Rann of Kutch: A White Desert Dream

In the western state of Gujarat, the Rann of Kutch is another spectacular destination to explore during the winter months. The vast expanse of salt marshes becomes a surreal, white desert that stretches as far as the eye can see. The Great Rann of Kutch is a stunning yet desolate landscape that comes to life during the Rann Utsav, a cultural festival celebrating the heritage and art of the region.

3.            Manali: An Alpine Escape

Nestled in the Himalayan Mountains of Himachal Pradesh, Manali is a charming hill station that comes alive in the winter. This destination is a favourite among adventure seekers, honeymooners, and anyone looking for a serene and picturesque escape.
