As we emerge from the festive period into a cold & wet January thoughts often turn to travel. For many the highlight of the year is time away on holiday – a chance to relax and get some real heat, spending time with family or friends, meeting new people and trying out new experiences, cultures and challenges. Whatever your reason to travel there’s a myriad choices out there to decide between and just getting started can be pretty baffling. Why not get in touch with us here at Putney Travel – use our expertise to take the hard work out of organising your holiday.
Looking ahead to the next six months here’s a few top suggestions from us.
March
Northern India: March is the perfect time to visit North India & Rajasthan. The weather is warming up nicely, with an average in Delhi of 72⁰, while game viewing in the National Parks can be great as the animals are forced to move more to find water. If you time it right you could witness the lively and colourful Holi festival mid-way through the month
April
Japan: The Spring is a great time to visit Japan exploring modern Tokyo or historic Kyoto. Here you have the added bonus of the arrival of Cherry Blossom which heralds a number of unique festivals and general feel-good factor.
May
Jordan: The perfect size for a week long trip Jordan’s highlight is one of the world’s great sights, Petra. How about floating in the Dead Sea or camping out under the stars in Wadi Rum, first made famous by Lawrence of Arabia?
June
China: Being such a big country you have to choose carefully what to do as you just can’t cram it all in at once –Imperial China with Beijing & Xian, beautiful landscapes and pandas, the Yangtze or modern metropolises such as Shanghai or Hong Kong?
July
Croatia: Still overlooked in favour of more famous neighbours the Croatian coastline really is one of the most stunning in the Mediterranean. Gorgeous Venetian style towns, cracking food and clear waters – July’s a great time to head to the Dalmatian coast.
August
Greece: The intense blues of the sea and sky, the warm summer nights, epic landscapes, myths and legends to savour plus hidden coves and beautiful views. Add in the warm Greek hospitality and you have your perfect summer destination.
