Manali, Himachal Pradesh

Have you ever beheld the calmness that the first snowfall brings in? If not, you must include Manali in your list of best places to go in December. It is certainly the best month to explore almost every hill station, but those sky-high deodars and pine trees with white hues of snow in Manali will instantly melt your heart. Whether you are excited to make your first snowman or want to experience some of the most thrilling snow sports, Manali will get your firsts right. And if you are someone who loves to visit the historically rich monasteries or temples, Manali has some outstanding spots for you. From worshipping at Hadimba Temple or Vashisht Temple to enjoying the peaceful views of flowing River Beas, Manali is a paradise for tourists. While you are in Manali, you can also take a dip in the hot water spring in Vashisht, which has medicinal properties to cure issues like skin allergies and exlore the countless little cafes and unexplored roads.

Srinagar, Kashmir

Kashmir is truly a heaven on earth making it one of India's best places to travel in December. Every flake of snow adds an eternal charm to its exuding beauty. But is your trip to Kashmir complete if you miss out on its largest city, Srinagar? Certainly not! And if you are already a mountain person, you would love to sip on the hot tea while savouring a hot plate of Maggi at roadside stalls overlooking snowy roads and ‘oh so lovely’ mountains. Oh, and did we mention cruising your way through Srinagar’s Jewel, The Dal Lake, would be a delightful experience? Those adorned shikaras set out on an almost frozen lake are an exceptionally gorgeous sight, more if you are on a boat yourself. There’s much more to Srinagar for you to explore and embrace, so don’t miss this chance to witness nirvana.

Goa

Goa vibes on a high energy at all times of the year. But wait till you experience Goa’s spirit during Christmas/New year when the temperature is lower than normal. Christmas and Goa would make a great match and should make it to your list of exceptional places to travel in December. Why? Because a city with churches/chapels at every step lights up in all its glory during Christmas, pulling thousands of tourists. You can also choose to chill by Baga beach while trying out a new cocktail. With everybody swaying to the festive tunes is a vibe altogether. Also, taking it slow and listening to the waves hitting the shores at Varca Beach would bring you closer to yourself. That’s exactly where the true success of a trip lies. Or how about awakening your adventurous side and trying out the most thrilling water activities that almost all the beaches offer in Goa? Convinced enough to hop on your flight to Goa right away? Let’s meet at our very own aesthetic suites at Bloom Hotels in Goa.

Udaipur, Rajasthan

Who wouldn’t love being surrounded by stunning lakes, historic Havelis, and temples that take you back in time, right? And even more so in December when the weather is quite pleasant. Wrapped closely by the Aravali Ranges, this ‘City of Lakes’ is tourists’ fovorite. Udaipur is one of those slow-paced cities that has successfully kept its core culture alive even today. It is a delight to witness Rajasthani folk dance and music at the Dharohar Dance Show at the impeccable Bagore Ki Haveli in the evening between 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM. From exploring the architecturally rich City Palace to witnessing the most gorgeous sunset from your boat at the charming Lake Pichola, you’ll have a wholesome experience. Also, don’t forget to embrace the breathtakingly royal views while having a meal at Jagmandir. And now our favourite—indulging in the scenic views of Udaipur’s lakes and palaces from the Karni Mata Temple ropeway would melt your heart. Sounds dreamy, doesn’t it! Now you know why this city makes one of the most romantic places to visit in December.

Shillong, Meghalaya

Are you obsessed with vibrant, lush green hills packed with tall pine trees that bring you closer to nature? Well, then, Shillong should be your next destination this December. Shillong has a lot to offer, from the purest lakes to incredible treks and classic museums. You can start from the pretty Umuam Lake, owning its spot amidst the Khasi Hills, which boasts of exceptional sunset views. Here you can indulge in water sports like cruising or water scootering. After the adrenaline rush at the lake, head to the divinely beautiful waterfall—The Elephant Waterfall. The sight of crystal-white water paving its way through the green hills is mesmerizing, making it a hotspot for people who love their time around nature. And when you have admired the falls enough, get ready to catch a glimpse of the city and hills from Shillong Peak. But all these spots are filled with tourists all the time. So if you want to enjoy off-beat spots in Shillong, a trek to Laitlum Canyons should be on your itinerary.
