Shimla, a quaint hill station, is a perfect winter-season romantic gateway. Visit cosy cafes brewing hot coffee and serving baked goods. Don’t miss out on a quiet stroll down the mall road with shops lined to tempt your inner shopaholic. Eat, walk, and maybe shop your winter gear. The glittering, shimmery snow on the slanted roofs of the houses in Shimla looks straightway magical. But if you want to get away from the slow pace, head to Kufri Valley, almost an hour away from Shimla, for sports adventures and horseback riding.

If you are a spiritual person, and winter grounds you and brings solace, let Leh be your next travel destination this season. Leh offers the break you need for introspection, a place of comfort away from the daily grind. The temperature and high altitude are not for the faint-hearted, so be prepared. Visit ancient monasteries, meditate, and reconnect with yourself. For motorcycle enthusiasts, the Leh highway is truly freeing and liberating (don’t miss the witty road signs.) However, bike rides in winter are not an easy job, only for professional and seasoned bikers.
