Winter in India: The Enthralling Adventure

Although India is often overlooked as one of the most fascinating places to visit, this nation will take your breath away with its diverse culture and astounding wildlife. Although very little is actually predictable in this large and clamorous nation, India is one of the most intricate and rapidly growing travel events in the world. If you thrive on sensual overload, you simply cannot afford to miss this astonishing peninsula.

Nonetheless, you may say to yourself, "By the time I get all the money and reservations and plane tickets together, it will be winter!" Fortunately for you, there's not a better time to go! The winter in India is without a doubt the most comfortable part of the year, especially in the southern portions of the country. In fact, India really only has three seasons: the hot, the wet, and the cool. Typically, the cool part of the year is from November to February. Be warned, however, that the monsoon can bleed over into November.

Nevertheless, this time period is the best time of the year to stay within the cities of India, or to travel without the cities and experience the harmonious and intricate native wildlife that awakens in these cooler months. If you are a birdwatcher, you will love India at this time of the year. The bird population greatly expands as birds come down from the north to bask in the warmer sun of Southern India. Both the native and the foreign birds live together mutually, where neither of the two encroaches others territory. India is full of bird sanctuaries to visit, the most famous sanctuary in the area being the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary. Located in Rajasthan, Bharatpur is home to more than 375 species of birds during the winter months, as many of the aquatic birds from the surrounding regions like China and Siberia travel to this small 17 square-mile plot of land.
