6 places in India to visit in February


The month of February is the season for celebrating love, with many travelers setting off to their dream travel destinations. Whether you’re planning a romantic trip with your loved one or some me-time on a solo trip, here are 6 places in India to visit in February.
1. Agra

What place could be better than Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal, for a romantic holiday? While you’re there, don’t miss the Taj Mahotsav. This 10-day-long carnival showcases India’s arts, crafts, cuisine, music, culture, and dance. Agra is also home to two other UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Fatehpur Sikri and the Red Fort.
2. Goa

Indian culture intertwines with Portuguese influences in the sun-soaked state of Goa. In February, the city sees the annual Goa Carnival, where you can let loose among the madness and vibe of the festivities. The air is electric, the streets are filled with color, and cheerful crowds dance and lose themselves in the music. To top it all off, every year a parade with beautiful floats, dancers, and entertainers gives the carnival a grand ending.
3. Mumbai

Mumbai is famous for its outdoor bazaars, chaotic streets, shopping bargains, and people-watching. Come here before the summer months begin and watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Marine Drive and Juhu Beach are popular waterfront destinations here. Don’t forget to go and explore the Elephanta Caves when you visit, plus the various religious sites, lakes, and parks the city has to offer.
4. Thekkady

The south Indian state of Kerala is known for its lush forests, rolling hills, and spectacular backwaters. Thekkady will enchant you with its winding roads, rich plantations, tranquil countryside, and thick jungles. The sanctuary is open throughout the year and is 118 miles away from Cochin. It is centered around a vast artificial lake formed by a dam across the Periyar river.
5. Kodaikanal

Ever heard of the endangered grizzled giant squirrel? Well, Kodaikanal has it and that’s just one of the reasons why we think you should visit this place. It is a magical destination perched nearly 7,000ft above sea level on the southern crest of the Palani Hills. Relax while surrounded by beautiful meadows or wander around the peaceful slopes looking for birds, exotic flowers, and the grizzled giant squirrels of course.
6. Varanasi

Varanasi, or Banaras, is a sacred city for the Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. It is also known as the City of Temples. Hindu pilgrims come here every year to bathe in the holy Ganges. It is also a center of silk weaving. If you visit the city, try to experience the magnificent Maha Shivratri Festival with the locals. It is a Hindu festival that is celebrated annually in honor of Lord Shiva and marks the day Shiva consummated His marriage.
