Here are some of the top sightseeing destinations you should consider for your next frosty trip, and don’t fret because if you do not like the snow, then we have got someplace a little warmer for your summer soul to explore too!

Srinagar, Kashmir – Heaven on Earth

The heart of Kashmir and a painting come alive; Srinagar is one of the most beautiful destinations to visit in India during winter.

Rent a shikara and watch a romantic sunset surrounded by the majestic mountains while relaxing on a houseboat. Families can opt for a family resort in Srinagar and head out to explore a UNESCO World Heritage Site – The Mughal Gardens. You could also visit the Shankaracharya Temple and the Hazratbal Shrine. Do not forget to buy a gorgeous carpet or soft woolly pashminas as souvenirs!

Ladakh – The Cold Desert

Surrounded by Karakoram in the north and Zanskar in the south, Ladakh is on the list of every adventure sports lover. One of the best destinations for high-altitude trekking and river rafting, Ladakh is the dream destination for extreme temperatures enthusiasts.

Sikkim – Smallest State in India

A beautiful co-existence of Hinduism and Buddhism can be witnessed in Sikkim, which has given rise to its peaceful culture. Serene prayer flags and Buddhist monasteries are abundant in this little state. You book a hotel overlooking the great valley and take a day tour of Gangtok, visiting the historic Nathu La Pass and the adjoining Baba Mandir. If you want to witness Sikkim’s breathtaking, raw beauty and wild rhododendrons and interact with welcoming locals to learn more about the culture, go for a road trip to Lachung-Lachen. Book a family hotel in Sikkim, like Capital O 9686 Hotel Shantiniketan, that offers a gorgeous view of the valley from the rooms.

Shimla – The British Summer Capital

Any list is incomplete without adding the romantic ‘Queen of Hills’ – Shimla. One of the top sightseeing destinations, you can take a deep dive into the rich colonial history while appreciating the beautiful Victorian architecture and walking on Mall Road with your loved ones. Unwind in one of the OYO hotels and enjoy the twinkling lights of tiny houses sitting along a bonfire to keep you warm from chilly winds.

Ooty – Queen of Hill Stations

For those who want to stay away from the freezing temperatures and just want to enjoy a nice winter chill, Ooty is the place for you.
