A boat ride at dawn from Dashashwamegh Ghat to
Harishchandra promises a story to every curious eye.

different experience.

5. Auli, The Snow Magnet
Auli is probably one of the best places to be visited in winter. The
elevation goes from 2,500 to 3,000 mts! But don’t worry, the Oak
and Deodar forest around prevent excess wind chills. The drive
till its base, Joshimath, offers beautiful landscapes on the way.
Surrounding mountains of Nanda Devi, Trishul, Kamet,
ManaParvat, etc.
stand tall with pride and adore the place. Off course, the snow
skiing has to be done if you are there, and no denying in that, but
there a part of Auli which is relatively unexplored.

Gurson Bugyal is an under rated meadow that finds hardly the
crowd that it deserves! The silence of the air will fill your soul
with peace and happiness. And last but not the lease, the
Gondala ride offers spectacular aerial view of the place.
6. Rann of Kutch, The Adobe Of Deserts
Rann of Kutch needs no introduction. The idea of Rann Utsav
(festival) by Gujarat tourism draws crowd every year in winter
from all over the India. Though the tents are extremely
expensive, one can stay in Bhuj for cheaper options or get a
complete package by tour operators.

Watching white dessert during sunset is a heavenly experience.
If you happen to visit the place during Full moon night then you
should know that you are the lucky to witness it!
KaloDungar, Mandvi beach, Dholavira, Lakpath, India bridge are

head to the rather unexplored side of Kutch called ‘The Little
Rann of Kutch’.

changes, the climate, serenity, the Buddhist vibe and the hipster
ambiance.
Dharamshala has become lot more touristy these days, but thankfully
there is fewer crowds during winters. It snows here during this time
and the temperature tends to dip below -1 °C. Remember to carry
lots of woolens and protection against chilly winds.

12. Nainital:
Nainital is one of those tourist places that have got extremely
exploited in the last few decades, and yet it still holds its original
charm. The lifeline of the place, Nainital Lake looks surreal to the
naked eye.
The gentle landing of the snow flakes, solidarity time with the
snowcapped mountains around and the adrenaline rush of skiing
on its slope, you can’t ask for more! The snow view point is
probably the best place to visit at Nainital. Located at a height of
2,270 mts, it could be reached by cable car or motorable road.

consider Lands end, Naina peak or Tiffin top.

The recent unrest has hit the tourism industry hard. I had gone
there for a month at the time of riots and believe me, I felt
completely safe there. It is safe to say that Kashmir people know
the best in terms of hospitality. Kashmir has a whole new story to
reveal in winters.
