Best winter-sun destinations in India

In this blog, we have curated a list of places to visit in winter and enjoy your winter vacation in the lap of the sun.

1. Puducherry

Serving local and international travellers for years, Puducherry combines the colonial with the contemporary, Indian with European, and the material with spirituality. No wonder tourists flock to the area all year round. Visiting this part of the world in the summer would have you reapplying your sunscreen every hour, and the sightseeing experience would be interrupted by extensive sweating. But, in winter, when the temperature goes down to a comforting 25 °C, you would be filled with the desire to go for a walk or cycle around the French colonies.

You can even spend the day dawdling at the beach, acquiring that subtle tan, or go on a heritage tour of the city’s historical sites. What is more! This is also the best time of the year to sign up for scuba diving lessons, as the underwater visibility is believed to be best during the winter months. Don’t worry! There are many safe and hygienic hotels like OYO 10449 Hotel Le Sai and OYO 29878 Sri Abirami Inn for you to stay in.

2. Goa

Although we always think about summer when discussing beach vacations, Goa best exudes its charm when winter sets in. The temperature in the city is a pleasant 20-31 °C during the winter months ( November to April). Kayaking experiences, scuba diving lessons, and banana boat rides are just a few activities to explore during this season. If you are not up for activities, a quiet winter night by the beach sipping a cup of tea will also feel serene and satisfying.

The weather is also ideal for beach hopping from the North to the South. It is believed that dolphins also come out to play during these months, making boat tours memorable. Goa is decked up in bright and festive lights during December and January. The hotels in the city, such as SPOT ON 65237 The Hangout Beach Huts, OYO Flagship 9741 Triple Beach Guesthouse, and Collection O 75600 Aqualuna Verem Road, are more welcoming to tourists than ever. There is no better place to celebrate Christmas night or New Years’ Eve than on one of the beautiful beaches of Goa.

3. Varkala

Located in Kerala, this beach town serves as an ideal winter vacation destination. You can start your days with morning yoga sessions and long walks by the beach at night. The restaurants around the area serve delicious seafood that will make you keep coming back for more. Visiting a 2000-year-old Vishnu temple, top sightseeing in the area, and paragliding off a cliff are some other activities you can pursue during your stay at Varkala. The temperature in the area is a comfortable 22-30 °C in winter. You can also get lucky and get a chance to interact with other travellers over a glass of locally-brewed coconut wine or a pint of beer.

4. Mumbai

The usual hot and humid weather of the city takes a backseat during the winter months when the average temperature lies between 10-34 °C. The city of dreams has something to offer to every traveller. Art galleries, historical monuments, dargahs and temples, cultural landmarks, and street-food heaven— there is nothing you can’t find in Mumbai.

Mumbai is known for its nightlife and is a dream for someone who loves to party on Christmas and New Year’s nights. The mild and pleasant weather in winter makes it easier for travellers to navigate the city’s busy and chaotic transportation and experience top sightseeing in its different locations. The city also houses some of the best hotels, like Capital O 8872 Hotel Address Inn and OYO 7727 Hotel Sarovar Grand that welcome visitors and make Mumbai the perfect destination to head to when you want an escape from the depressing vibes of the colder months.

To Wrap Up!

Winter holidays are not meant to be wasted snuggling up in a blanket all day. Make the most of your winter months this year by planning a memorable vacation in the lap of the sun.
