April Getaways Across India: Hills, Culture, And Coast

April brings a few breaks in the calendar, which makes it a good time to slip in a short trip or stretch it into a longer holiday if you can. Where you go really changes the kind of experience you get. In Punjab, Amritsar and Anandpur Sahib are at their busiest with Vaisakhi celebrations, processions, and gatherings. The hills—Kasauli, Ooty, Sikkim—are cooler and more open, with flowers, clear views, and local festivals in the background. Goa, meanwhile, slows right down, with quieter beaches and an easygoing coastal pace.
