Winter: Beaches

Goa is the perfect beach destination. With its long, undulating coastline, unspoilt sandy beaches, tasty seafood and the colonial culture of this erstwhile Portuguese outpost, Goa has a friendly, welcoming ambience and is a great favourite with visitors.

The Backwaters of Kerala are another idyllic spot. Cruise along the green, serene network of waterways in a houseboat. Dine on the local fresh fish, cooked in a way only known to Kerala.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are an archipelago basking in the Bay of Bengal. Due to their level of isolation, the islanders have developed a unique indigenous culture. Even the flora and fauna are endemic to the islands. Beautiful coral reefs, tropical rainforests and white-sand beaches beckon you here.
