Places to visit in South India

Goa would have great weather, Hampi would be ideal for treks. All of Kerala would be sunny and warm be it by the backwaters in Allepey or the beaches of Marari, Kovalam or Varkala.

The beaches of Goa and Kerala can be very crowded all through the first half of January. If you’re travelling by yourself and like meeting other travellers it could be a great thing to try and hit the beaches after the first two weeks of January. There are also many other things to do in January in India to fully enjoy your trip here.

Places to visit in North India

For North India, you want to bear in mind that the nights would be cold. Agra and Delhi receive a dense layer of fog on most mornings and this often disrupts and delays trains and flights. On the other hand, January is a gorgeous month to be in Udaipur (which is always warmer thanks to the lakes) and Jaisalmer by the desert where you can camp overnight in the dunes.

The Himalayas are cold and can be snowy during the months of January making it a great time to go Skiing to Gulmarg, Kashmir.
