Chilled breezes and icy smells are the sound of coming winters! For some, it’s the snowy bed; for some, it’s endless mountains… Winter brings great excitement and joy, whether it is the Las Posadas, a nine-day celebration commemorating the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem in Mexico, or Kwanzaa, a week-long celebration honouring African-American culture and heritage celebrated in various countries around the globe. This cold season invites people to travel around and experience winter holiday destinations.
With a similar effect, it has made a few places ‘Must visit Places to travel in Winters’ and we, at SSAR, won’t let you miss these Winter travel destinations.
If you are a true Traveller and a patriot, then you can never miss India’s one and only Himalayas! The mountainous regions of Shimla, Manali, Gulmarg, Kufri, Auli and Narkanda are the places people die to explore!
The capital of the northern Indian state, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla resides in the foothills of the Himalayas. From once being declared as British India’s summer capital, it leaves a core of history to explore.
Which is not just the everyone’s known ‘Mall Road’ but goes on to The Colonial Queen of Hills, Shimla City and Mashobra, a peaceful and haven-seeking place that is both, luxurious and budget-friendly!
16km away from Shimla, situates Kufri, which gets its immense charm in the winter season and becomes an attractive tourist destination. With one of the best homestays, you can experience the mesmerising view of the ridges and slopes.
Skiing lovers cannot miss this place, which is just a 2-hour drive from Shimla City, Narkanda. From beginners to skilled skiers, Narkanda never discriminates with its highly varied slopes. Even if you do not want to ski, the panoramic views of the valley will keep you captivated!
‘Valley of Gods’ is a resort town in Himachal. Famous as the honeymoon destination, Manali has its own romantic winter getaways set on the Beas River.
Whether you want to swoop into the dense snow in Solang Valley or experience the bewitching view of snow-covered valleys from Rohtang Pass.
Have a your-style romantic date in the cozy cafes at Old Manali, experience the first fall of the season surrounded by the hushed forest in Gulaba or encounter the division of the cold desert from the greenery via Hamta Pass. Manali is not going to disappoint you in so many ways!
The evergreen beauty of Jammu and Kashmir can never go unnoticed, and neither Gulmarg’s!
With the scenic beauty of the Himalayan Mountains in Baramulla district, Gulmarg has the world’s highest cable car. Its tremendous beauty not only makes it a well-known tourist destination but a cinematic attractive destination too!
