The Best Places to Travel in November

One of the most significant festivals in Indian culture, Diwali, the festival of lights, sees millions attend firework displays, prayers and celebratory events across India. The festival is celebrated for the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. November is a good time to visit Rajasthan famed for its maharajas, its majestic forts and lavish palaces, sand dunes, jungle, camel trains and wild tigers, glittering jewels, and vibrant culture. The romantic lake city of Udaipur, is also known as the Venice of the East.

November is a good time to visit the Middle East. The Sultanate of Oman is a place of mysticism, natural beauty and archaeological marvels. From diving in the warm Arabian Sea to enjoying views from the country’s highest mountain Jebel Shams, Oman is a country of contrasts. With an abundance of natural beauty, from spectacular mountains, wind-blown deserts and a pristine coastline, Oman is the obvious choice for those seeking out the modern face of Arabia while wanting still to sense its ancient soul.

In November celebrate Loi Krathong, Thailand's 'festival of lights'. During this festival; every expanse of water (river, lake or ocean), will be covered with thousands of lights making a spectacular sight. One of the best places to witness this is on the west coast island of Phuket. You can buy Krathongs (flower covered mini-floats, with candles and incense sticks), resembling lotus flowers. At dusk release your krathong in any water. The belief being that if the krathong floats away from you, the coming year will bring good fortune, and vice versa. Loi Krathong is also the time to make a wish for happiness together and success in love. Aside from the celebrations Phuket is known for its blend of secluded beaches, world class diving spots, temples and varied nightlife. From here you can visit Phang Nga Bay, Wat Chalong temple and the Big Buddha.
