February
February, the month of love and lovers attract a lot of beautiful destinations in India. The transition from winter to spring also makes it a special time to cherish. Some of my favourite destinations of this time- Kerala, Goa, Mumbai and Jaipur (Rajasthan). Kerala backwaters, views and the Valentines time creates the magic. Jaisalmer is also a perfect place in Feb because the deserts can never be explored in any other season. So a desert safari is the best choice.

Mathura and Vrindaban in UP give colourful Holi festive experiences. Shimla in HP and Leh Ladakh can give the best snowfall experiences around this month.
