5 Winter Activities You Must Give a Try

Winter doesn't have to mean sinking in your bed under a mattress all day long. This winter, do something fun and create a memory that will last forever. And if you're looking for things to do in winter or where to go, here are some things you must try.

•  Experience Snow in Manali

Manali experiences chilly winters with abundant snowfall from December to February and sometimes extending up to mid of March as well. With temperatures falling below zero, most of Manali is covered in snow during the winter. And if you’re looking for fun snow activities, there are quite a few on the list. From making a snowman to snow sculptures to making snow ice pops, you can go crazy with your friends and family. 

And if you’re looking for the perfect resort, Club Mahindra White Meadows Resort can be a perfect choice. With snowfall and various indoor activities like folk dance class, mocktail making class or learning how to make towel origami, it can be an ideal place to spend your winter vacation. 

• Night Safari in Jaisalmer

There is nothing quite as magical and serene at the same time as camping in the middle of a desert on a chilly night under the star-studded sky. So if you're looking for some outdoor winter activities, Jaisalmer in Rajasthan should be on your list. 

The magnanimous Thar desert in Jaisalmer experiences extremely hot summers and pleasant winters, making it a great spot for doing some fun winter activities at night. From camel rides to barbeque, camping or sitting with your friends and family in front of a bonfire, Jaisalmer will leave you mesmerised. 

Consider staying at a resort in Jaisalmer hosted by Club Mahindra to experience true Rajasthani hospitality like royalty. Whether you want to go for camel rides in the Dunes, indulge in some fun activities in the resort, like archery, or relinquish an authentic Rajasthani Thali, the resort has got you covered. 

•  Skiing in Sweden

While there are many things to do in the snow, you haven’t done it all if you haven’t skied on the snowy slopes of a mountain. And yes, many locations in India let you ski, but nothing quite matches the thrill of skiing on the luring snow-covered slopes of Sweden. 

If you're looking for ski resorts, Holiday Club Are, a Club Mahindra affiliate resort, is one of the best you can pick. From challenging back slopes to snow parks for children and many restaurants, there is something for everyone here.  

• Trekking near Dharamshala

Dharamshala, located on the edge of the Himalayas, is gifted with many peaks and valleys that are perfect for winter trekking. 

However, you shouldn't miss the Triund trek if you're looking for some winter fun. 

A 2-day trek, typically starting and ending at McLeadganj near Dharamshala, will take you to the Triund hills, where you can enjoy the mesmerising view of the snow-covered Kangra Valley. 

You should stay over at Dharamshala for a night or two to acclimate before you begin your trip to Triund. Club Mahindra Dharamshala Resort can be a perfect place to stay. It offers many fun outdoor and indoor activities for the guests, such as jeep safari, towel origami, learning how to cook Himachali cuisine and more. 

• Enjoy the Backwaters of Kerala

Kerala is known for its backwaters, forests and wildlife. Taking a boat ride in the backwaters of Kerala can be one of the most surreal activities this winter. While summers are hot and humid, winters are pleasant in Kerala, making it a great time for tourists to venture out. 

You can stay at Thekkady Resort by Club Mahindra situated right next to the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Here you can take a boat ride in the backwaters and see some wild animals such as tigers, elephants and more.
