Winter Getaways
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008| The cold winds have finally arrived, bringing with them the start of the winter season. Its time to take out your jumpers, snuggle down cosily in blankets, and enjoy eating savories that make winter a delight. But, why not make this winter different from the rest – plan a vacation, a weekend break or a break that extends a whole week or more? | |

India, being a land of contrasts, has countless vacation options to choose from – right from sizzling Goa to the cultural delights of Kerala to the snow-lovers abode - Shimla.
Take your love for winters one step further and head to the hill stations such as Shimla and Manali. Watch the snow flakes swirl around you as it descends |
| from the heavens. Step out of your hotel and savor the breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountain slopes - a picture perfect postcard indeed! Head to the skating rinks or ski down the slopes. | |

For those who wish to take a break from the cold dismal days, bring the sunshine into your life with a vacation to Goa or Kerala. Bask in the warm sunshine as you lounge on the sun-kissed Goa beaches, experience the thrill of water sports and revel in its ‘never-ending party culture’. Drift lazily through the backwaters in a kettuvallam, partake in the Cochi Carnival and cheer on the racers of the Indira Gandhi Boat Race. |
| There is something for everyone, especially in December, when hotels and resorts across India offer vacationers a chance to let go of their busy schedules and indulge themselves with special Christmas and New Year packages. | |
