Places to Visit in February<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spring is one of the best time to wander around places. But, February can actually beat that.

This is the time what most of the country will be experiencing in the offbeat pleasant weather of February. So, don’t let these tranquil moments slip by. Rather, start planning your trip earlier for this soft serene month. We’ll be talking about 5 top places to visit in February. Hope you’ll find your next great adventure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Nashik, Maharashtra\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Nashik,<\/a><\/p>\n

If any of you want a whole package from their February tour, then this is the place where you got to head to. From a complete blissful natural beauty to a religious experience to swaying music rhythms till late in the night, you’re looking at an A to Z of a travel deal. Traverse near the waterfalls or the large grape vineyards, you’ll be in for a whirlwhind experience. The city also has a huge religious significance. Firstly, this is the place in the country where Surpankha got her nose cut by Lakshmana after she tried to seduce Lord Ram. Secondly, here are tons of Hindu temple, prominent among them is Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple. Shirdi temple is another holy place where tourists huddle.<\/p>\n

And, the nights here just couldn’t get any better. Stay in the camps near the vineyards and be the witness to perhaps the most exciting music fest in the country. Enjoy sizzling tunes till wee hours, indulge in food items, and raise a toast to the Sula music festival which, by the way, is only organised in the month of February. All the more reason for you to come here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Gulmarg, Jammu & Kashmir<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gulmarg,<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s not get cold fade away in the second month of the year either. Pack straight for bone-chilling cold and head to this frosty location of Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir. Since, this is your last chance to enjoy the snow (Yes, it snows in Gulmarg in February, too), you better bring all your sports gear (and A game) for skiing, snowballing, snowboarding, and other snow-related plays. And, those who don’t know how to ski, worry not, because here are experts who would guide you on that. Moreover, here is a special ski school (Indian Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering) where you can find related courses at the value of money deals. And, those who like to have a little less crowd around them would love Gulmarg over its contemporaries Shimla and Manali. Calm, quiet and yet so much fun, is the essentially the key vibe of this place. Further, after you get a tad bit tired of trekking and playing in the snow, sit back and bask in the beauty of alpine forests and the snow-covered Himalayas from a bird’s eye view with Gulmarg Gondola. It is a cable car, world’s second highest, that takes you up the hills. Ticket to ‘fun unlimited’, really!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Yercaud, Tamil Nadu<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Yercaud,<\/a>
\nWith day jobs and other works, let’s be frank, we cannot visit everywhere and have to choose one destination for our travel. This essentially means giving a miss to all other places, their specialities, and adventure. But not with Yercaud. For here you can live the Ooty experience all over again with lush forests and abundantly rich flora and fauna. In Yercaud, however, you’ll come across their exotic varieties as well. And, if you’re the one who missed on their Darjeeling trips as well, you can still enjoy the enthralling views of coffee plantations spread over vast areas here.<\/p>\n

For those who want to see the rather original essence of Yercaud, can saunter around the Emerald Lake, Killiyur Falls, and the uber-dense forests. Lastly, the USP of this place is the gorgeous views you are going to get which will instantly classify for PAP moments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Kaziranga National Park, Assam<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Kaziranga<\/a><\/p>\n

What could be better than strolling around the wilderness in the pleasant weather of February? Don’t answer that. That was a rhetoric question. From little to big, all animals come out of their hidden abodes around this time and love to meander in the mild sunshine. With the cool breeze flowing, it is delightful to watch beautiful deer and the park-staple one-horned rhinos. Take a look above and you’ll be seeing regular birds taking a flight with the migratory ones. With a highly versatile bio-diversity, you’ll also be setting your eyes on tigers, wild buffalos, Bengal foxes, Chinese pangolins, sloth bears, elephants, flying squirrels, leopards, and so many more. Love animals? Then, February is the best time and season to visit here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Kutch, Gujarat<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Kutch,<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s take a complete 180 degree turn from all the natural beauty, snow, and wildlife, and rather get settled into some cultural scene for a change. What you’re looking at is men in big colourful turbans, women in traditional dresses, and vast white salt deserts as far as the eye can see. And, while you’re there, do take a tour of rural India. This is a great insight into our ancient roots. There is also enough to interest on the wildlife side. Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary has a variety of Indian wild ass species that will amaze you till the end, especially if you’re into cute animals. And, don’t miss out on the last month of the Rann Utsav \u2013 which is just another term for stellar music and dance performances.<\/p>\n

Last word – explore to the core. There are many lesser-known attractions like the age-old ship-building town Mandvi, the ancient site Dholavira and Earthquake-hit Bhuj which is coming back to life faster than you can imagine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Thekkady, Kerala<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Thekkady,<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the home-away-from-home for all those who are into wildlife expeditions. Also, Kerala can get quite summery from March on, so February is your best bet to fly here. With a promise of jungle safari, this place provides you with ultimate wildlife experiences through Periyar National Park –\u00a0 <\/span>home to a large tiger population. So, keep your cameras ready, in case the beautiful cats run past you. And, your joy is not limited to just tigers. You can go bamboo rafting, hiking, and shopping (yes shopping, smack dab in the middle of the wilderness!). There are also opportunities for night trek, for the bold and brave, of course. Others can take the early morning boat ride within the sanctuary. You can spot so many wild creatures ranging from bisons to boars to wild elephants. You can also know nature at her picturesque best through Chellar Kovil’s adorable waterfalls and cascades. Wander a bit more and you’ll find spice plantations, amazing backwaters, and the rolling Western Ghats. You don’t need more reasons to come here, do you?<\/p>\n
