Three reasons why winter is the perfect season to holiday in India!

Do you want to take a break from your hectic work schedule and head to a holiday destination that excites you? Or are you craving for a sightseeing trip since a long time now? However, you might not want those stinky droplets of sweat roll down from your head and slip through the back of your neck as you visit places on your upcoming vacation. Nor would you like heavy rains pouring harsh over your month-long holiday trip, will you? So, giving those usual summer vacations a break and instead planning for a winter tour might save your trip from becoming a failure. Many would agree that winter is the perfect season to step out of your house and holiday at the most beautiful places, especially in India.

Here are three reasons why you should choose to holiday in India during the winters:

• You will finally get a chance to wear your most stylish fur jackets that you had specially bought from a designer sale, but never got a real chance to use. Indian metropolitans are usually not that chilly, even during the winters. Therefore, thick woollens or leather jackets might come handy during the cold season, but not the fur.

You can experience a snowfall if you decide to holiday in the hilly regions of India during the winters. The scorching heat of the sun and the heavy downpours might have been experienced by almost every Indian. Nevertheless, snow-bearing sky is not a common scenario in all the cities of this country. So, a trip to the cold Himalayan regions from the month of October to February can help you get clicked amidst the soft white snow.

• Even if you are not a snow-person, travelling during the winter season is more preferable. The weather being cool and pleasant all over India during winters, you will not be at a risk of getting yourself drenched in either sweat or rainwater.

Most of the people tend to overlook this most important aspect, if you haven’t worry not for we are at your service:

1. Stop the daily newspaper service: make sure to pause your newspaper deliveries or if possible, have any one reliable pick it up daily for you. Nothing like a bunch of yellowing newspapers at doorstep to announce your absence.
2. Settle all bills & payments: if, your off time is clashing with your payment dates, make advance payments or else assign some reliable person with the amount & details of the payment. Don’t let the payment bills decorate your mailbox while you are gone.
3. Dump or consume all perishable products: don’t forget to eliminate all the short life-cycled products in your refrigerator or in house as such so that firstly, your neighbors may live in breathable environment while you are gone and also you don’t get welcomed back by a house full of unthinkable stinks.
4. Go Unplugged: it is a must to unplug your electronic appliances, especially the heavy ones like washing machine, your LCD, computer, etc. This is to avoid any possibility of short circuit while you are not around.
5. House checks: withering plants, no evening lights, unchecked mails are enough to give anyone the idea of nill presence at your residence. In order to keep the enigma of your presence on, ask a reliable friend to check up on your place every other day, to put on lights in the evening & put them off in the morning. You can also set timer for lights & manage the light of your entire place even being miles away!
6. Fix it: if you have any leaks in the water system of your house, or any broken window or latch which refuses to work make sure you get at least these problems fixed on priority before you leave for your vacation. Carelessness in such chores can lead to much bigger problems when you return, hence enjoy a relaxed vacation & fix the happiness of your break while fixing the broken things at your place.

Well, there is certainly no end to ways of safeguarding your house before leaving for long vacation, however the most important thing is to always make this checklist in a relaxed environment & start at least few weeks before noticing your daily chores.
