December 5, 2013 | By

We queried our travel enthusiasts who are perpetually affected by wanderlust, and here’s their list of the best places to go in christmas holiday

Christmas and New Year holidays are known as much for the festive activities as for their impeccable Christmas vacation mood and wide, wide choice of holiday destinations.

The weather is perfect and you have a million choices – would you want a tour in the pleasant, cool temperatures of India or the snow-covered resplendent white Europe?

How about a trek through the sunny deserts of Dubai or maybe a dekho at South East Asia’s ancient architecture and golden beaches?

It’s difficult to choose, since each destination has its own attractions, appeal and heaps of not-to-be-missed sights! Phew, how much can you see in such a short time…!

So we queried our travel enthusiasts who are perpetually affected by wanderlust, and here’s the list of destinations they voted as the best places to go in winter holidays…

INDIA! INDIA! INDIA!

Indians love to pack their bags and set off to some vacation spot in the Christmas and New Year holidays. And why not? It’s the best weather you can get in India, no scorching sun, no sweat and no need to carry sunscreen or prickly heat powder!

So take out your travel diary and start jotting down the best travel destinations of India you can visit this year in Christmas vacation. Here we go:

    India is best new year’s and holiday spot who want to visit historical place and culture like Taj Mahal, Taksial, Jammu and Kashmir, Darjeeling. India Wildlife Tour is a most important tour for tourist because it is a biggest wild area in Rajasthan where we can explore different animals and birds .
