If you can see the clear blue skies, feel the slightly warm fragrant breeze, and hear the chirping of birds wherever you go, you can confirm its April. April is a beauty bathing in all its colors. It’s also the month wherein most of us finally feel settled into the year and wants a break at the same time(we have all been there :D). This year we have a long weekend at the beginning of the month itself.
April 2nd is Good Friday followed by the weekend.
So here are our recommended destinations for this month.
Option 1: Dalhousie
This serene hill station in Himachal Pradesh is a beauty, with its lush mountains, rivers, and lush greenery. The town named after the British general Lord Dalhousie with its Churches and mall road still reminds you of a forgotten colonial era. For the ones who like to immerse themselves in the midst of nature, this is a wonderful choice. Like any other hill stations, Dalhousie has got a lot to offer for adventure seekers in the form of hiking and trekking. A good 5-hour trek to the Bakrota Hills could be an experience to remember with the tall pine trees and dense forests.
