Best Holiday Destinations for March!

By

The month of March is one of the better ones on the calendar for travelers since it's well before the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter crowds in the tropical areas are starting to thin out at the same time.

Spring vacations offer a great opportunity to shake off the rust from a long winter and enjoy some new sights, sounds, and experiences. The arrival of warmer weather is the perfect time to get outside and commune with nature, explore the city, and engage with the world’s great historic and cultural treasures.

Missed where to travel in February? Check it out here!

Hurghada, Egypt


Hurghada, if haven't heard about it is the second largest city in Egypt. Hurghada is a prime tourist spot due to its Red Sea coastal location.

It has one of the Red Sea's leading seaside resorts, the city receives around 8 daily sunshine hours during the month alongside an average maximum temperature of 21.9 ºC; relatively cool in comparison to the scorching months of summer in other parts of the world.

Stunning coral reefs and turquoise waters perfect for windsurfing have made Hurghada, a busy resort town. Within easy reach of the stunning Giftun Islands and the Eastern Arabian Desert, Hurghada has seen enormous amounts of development in the past decade. But it’s a relatively easy beach escape for Europeans, and some of the world's best diving and snorkeling sites are just offshore. Walk or catch a cab to explore the old quarter, El Dahar.


Crete, Greece


Crete is one of the largest Greek islands and a favorite spot because of the its location in the south of the Greek Islands making it often warmer.

In March in Crete begins to warm up at 20°C . It's often warmer than this but remember this is March and you can't be expecting the same heat as it gets in May.

It's an island of beaches, and whichever resort you choose to stay in there's no need to just stay on that beach, explore a little and take a wander or boat trip to the next beaches along and see Crete at its best.


Darjeeling, India


Fondly referred to as the 'Queen of the Hills', Darjeeling in West Bengal in India is a perfect getaway from chaotic city life during the month of March.

Known all round the clock for its aromatic tea and lush tea estates, Darjeeling houses the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway that is more popular as the toy train. Its splendid weather, a number of tourist attractions, exotic wildlife, monasteries and lush scenic beauty attracts tourists every year in decent numbers. For adventure enthusiasts, there are plenty of adventure activities.


Boracay Island, Philippines


You may not have heard of Boracay Island in the Philippines yet, and there are plenty of people who’d rather keep in that way. This small resort island feels like Phuket might have 30 years ago, where pretty much the only way to get around is to stroll along the sand path along White Beach. This place feels modern and there are a few chain restaurants, but generally this island feels far more relaxed and old school than the famous beach resorts in Asia.

One thing that Boracay Island lacks is super-cheap hotels, but many people prefer to NOT have the backpacker crowd mixed in. Still, hotel value is excellent, especially considering that pretty much every hotel on the island is within a 2-minute walk of the sand, or it’s up in the hills with gorgeous views. Those looking for a new place to relax in March should consider Boracay, at least until it really catches on in a few years.


Banff, Canada


Nature-lovers will want to get to the park when the weather is warm and welcoming, the skier, however, will want to vacation in the height of winter. Depending on what you want to do, Banff can be seen as an almost year-round destination.

Although snow falls every month, December to March is the peak period for skiing. Day temperatures will rarely surpass 32 degrees Fahrenheit until mid-March and will dive toward zero at night. Note that temperatures change quickly and vary radically on different mountains. You'll want to secure a hotel early to visit at this time; and avoid the holidays if you're on a budget.

Travel Diary: Sanjay Gandhi National Park

By
The Sanjay Gandhi National Park or Borivali Park whatever you wanna call it, is one of the most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries in the world. All because, it is spread across over 104 sq. km. and also because it  is the only park in the world located completely within a city limits, which is also rich in biodiversity.   To most Mumbaikars like me, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) brings back the old memories of our childhood when our parents would take us to the park on a Sunday for a jungle safari or just an excursion to the famed Kanheri Caves (Note: they are around 2400 years old!) and not to forget those amazing school picnics. Alas, as I've grown up to be a teen, and through these years, places such as these have only remained confined to my memories. A visit to the National Park on a Tuesday, as part of my college's Environmental Visit, was to me as much about going back and living those memories again. It was about exploring the lesser known areas of the pa...

What about traveling by yourself?

By Anonymous
Traveling alone is a doubtful topic. Most of us have thought at least once about a trip by yourself. These fleeting thoughts are easily replaced with other ones in the dialogue with yourself because our mind faces some real and illusory obstacles. Let’s define these obstacles to see what prevents us from traveling alone. Maybe you will reconsider them and finally decide to travel with no companion. 1. Unhappy crew Socializing is vital for every human being. We want to share our most memorable experiences with our friends and family. The experiences may be both fun and stressful; furthermore, people behave differently in their comfort zone and in a new ambience. Consider the simple facts like chronic illnesses, daily routines, and tastes. As an example, my ex would look for organic color systems salons for her hair maintenance. The question is whether you go on with the distractors or not. You won’t find a hair salon in the mountains. Some medicines may be restricted in certain...
