International holidays are no longer limited to the usual summer break. For Indian travellers, fall and winter are emerging as travel seasons in their own right, with more travellers seeking destinations and experiences best enjoyed at a particular time of year.
From watching the Northern Lights in the Arctic and exploring European Christmas markets to skiing in the Canadian Rockies and celebrating New Year's in Australia and New Zealand, the options go well beyond a traditional winter holiday. Thomas Cook India and SOTC Travel have curated a range of seasonal journeys across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, reflecting this growing interest in experience-led travel.
The shift also comes at a time when geopolitical uncertainty disrupted some summer travel plans to Europe. For travellers still keen to visit the continent, the months from September to January offer another opportunity to plan an international holiday.
