Visting the Taj Mahal is a must on an India February holiday but there is far more to this fascinating country than its most famous site. Visit Jaisalmer, a city of sand and adventure, nicknamed ‘The Golden City’ thanks to its yellow sandstone architecture. If you’re fortunate enough to visit in February, you will witness the energetic Jaisalmer Desert Festival. The streets and sandy dunes fill with people from all over India as they gather and celebrate by spraying colours and singing songs.
Now imagine yourself on a private island in the Andaman Sea, surrounded by lush forests and sparkling water. The sun shines down upon you as soft winds rustle palm trees overhead and white sand beaches lead down to shorelines that are home to creatures such as dugongs, dolphins and manatees. With 105 protected marine areas, it is no wonder that many wildlife species thrive here. Spend a few days paddling around, snorkelling or diving to appreciate the area’s true beauty during your India February holiday.
