Sikkim
A gem in the north-east, Sikkim is
the perfect place to visit in March in India for those looking forward to
getting away from their harsh metropolitans. Ravangla, Sikkim’s only tea estate, is flanked by the Kunchendzonga
peak, is one of the hidden treasures of the valley, as are the 200 species of
orchids and rhododendrons. With easy to moderately difficult hikes, that can be
easily traversed by children and older people alike, to the majestic Tsongmo
Lake, and the rapid water sports in the Teesta and
Rangeet river, Sikkim has something to offer to people from every walk of life.
March is one the perfect months to visit the place for its breezy weather and
slightly nippy air for those who want to experience Sikkim in its full glory.
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands
One of the most beautiful and serene islands in
the Andaman cluster, Havelock is a paradise for those looking for a serene
escape. A popular honeymooners’ destination as well, one of the most talked
about part of Havelock, is beach number 7, also known as the Radha Nagar Beach.
Awarded in 2004 as the ‘Best Beach in Asia’, by Time, the swimming elephants
are the most popular attraction here. With temperature not hovering over 20
degrees and cool ocean breezes flowing throughout the day, the beautifully made
villas and picturesque houses are the cherries on top.
Ooty, Tamil Nadu
If a lost world colonial charm is your idea of
a dream vacation, look no farther than Ooty. Complete with a toy train ride to
the quaint little hill station. All English everything, from the colonial style
bijou, fenced flower gardens, evergreen hills and the thatched roof churches of
course. The sleepy hamlet has a memorable stupor, and a sense of timelessness,
with lush botanical gardens, lakes, tea plantations and waterfalls. When here,
don’t forget to check out popular spots like Tiger Hill, Ooty Lake and the
Dodabetta Peak.
Ranthambore, Rajasthan
Although the appropriate travel time as
suggested by frequents to Ranthambore is September to February, March is the
month for wildlife buffs to visit the place. The most popular destination here
is the Ranthambore National Park and the Ranthambore Fort. The Park, that
started as a tiger preservation site for Project Tiger in 1973, has now become
the biggest and most populated tiger reserve in the country. The onset of
summer is when the forest is at its barest and tiger spotting is the easiest.
Located within the park is the Ranthambore Fort, which is one of the six forts
in Rajasthan to be a part of
the World Heritage Sites. Home to the most elusive leopards and the fishing
cat, the Ganesh Temple is thronged by thousands of pilgrims during the annual
Ganesh Festival. For those who can’t make it to the festival, any Wednesday is
perfect to witness the deity dressed in decadence and worshipped in finery by
the locals.
Coorg, Karnataka
Coorg is often called an affluent hill station,
nestled in the lap of luxury and raw natural beauty. During the period of March
to May, the tea and spice plantations start blooming, and the valleys are
filled with the fragrance, making Coorg not only a treat for your eyes but
also for all your senses. A paradise for beginners in trekking, Coorg also
proves to be an elitist destination with 3 golf courses in Mercarra, Polibetta
and Bitangla. Often referred to as the ‘Scotland of India’, Coorg calls for a
spot on your bucket list for its mesmerising natural beauty.
Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu
Kodaikanal is an exceptionally laid back hill
station to visit in March in India in the lush Palani Hills of the Western
Ghats. With a slight fog looming in mornings and evenings, it is a popular
honeymooners’ destination and the sleepy traveller’s paradise. Nature walks in
the overly green fields, cycling in the long stretched roads and
having brunches at viewpoints are some of the things you can do during
your retreat here. Don’t miss the sparkling waterfalls when in Kodai.
Mount Abu, Rajasthan
The only cool and calm spot in the desert state
of Rajasthan, Mount Abu is chiefly a pilgrimage cum family
vacation place to visit in March in India. The Jain
Temples of Dilwara, that were built almost a thousand
years ago, and about 80 other temples in the city make it a religious spot. The
temple architecture of Dilwara and the Nakki Lake is what attracts people from around the world as
well. March to April is the ideal time to visit, since the summer festival
attracts pilgrims from the country, making it impossible to leisurely enjoy the
old world charm of the city.
Shillong, Meghalaya
Shillong continues to be the cultural and
educational hotspot of the north-east and is also quite popular among researchers. With
what can be called as raw life pulsating through Meghalaya‘s capital, Shillong is the best place to visit in March in
India, when the clear blue skies form the perfect backdrop of the Khasi Hills
that flank the city on its east. Be it shopping on the Bara Bazar and the
Police Bazar, or long walks among the pine trees and waterfalls or an
enriching visit to the Don Bosco Museum,
a vacation in Shillong in itself is a complete experience.
Munnar,
Kerala
At a height of 6000 feet, you can be
assured about tranquillity and a safe distance away from the doldrums of city
life in Munnar in Kerala. Situated
at the confluence of Nallathanni, Kundaly and Madharupuzha rivers, the weather
all around the year is just perfect to go for an exhilarating trek or a laid
back elephant ride, or even boating. Tea and spice plantations dot the
landscape and the tea museum here is an absolute must visit for all travellers
to Munnar. The aromas of this tiny town will faintly remain in your mind for
the months to come. visit https://www.flyingvenus.net/index.php/holiday-destination/kerala
Wayanad
Replete with enchanting waterfalls,
historical caves, comfortable resorts and homestays, this popular town is
famous for its spice plantations and wildlife. Among the prettiest areas
of Kerala, Wayanad has a multitude of options for its visitors.
Walking through the sprawling spice plantations, taking that trek into the
pre-historic caves and experiencing a resort holiday is one of the many things
you can do to get a taste of Wayanad. A
great place to spot wild elephants, cool breeze, beautiful scenery, Wayanad is
guaranteed to please your travel senses. Overall, a perfect weekend idea from
cities of South India. Although the temperature in Wayanad remains
nearly constant throughout the year but the best time to visit Wayanad is
October- May. The weather is extremely good during this period of time.
