Places to Visit in January

Best Tourist Places to Visit in January in India is a month named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions; rightly so, because the month straddles the end of one year and beginning of another. In India, January is usually the peak of winter and depending on which part of the country you are in, it bears its icy claws and their relative intensity. While the upper reaches of Himalayas are beyond freezing, North Indian destinations like Delhi are pleasantly cold. Coming down south, it becomes warmer and pleasanter. Some of the best places to visit in India during January include Delhi, for its grand Republic Day celebrations, Ahmedabad for the kite festival, Kumarakom and other places in South India for their weather, as well as shores like Diu and Mumbai for some cool beach fun. Here is a list of places that feature on our January-must-visit.
