The big decision that faces those booking a vacation in November is often whether to embrace the chill and opt for a destination that is wintry to its very core \u2013 indeed, a big occasion to celebrate all that\u2019s fantastic about warm fires, snow-dusted trees and indulgent comfort food \u2013 or to escape the colder climate in search of some warming winter sun. Here we\u2019ve selected five of our favorite locations for those wondering where to visit in November.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Palace of the Winds, Jaipur \u00a9 trekholidays\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n

India<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Imperial Rajasthan<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

India\u2019s largest state, Rajasthan offers sandstone palaces, glistening lakes, holy temples, barren deserts and lush gardens, as well as vibrant cities like Jaipur, Jodphur and Udaipur, with its famous Lake Palace<\/a>. Once known as the \u201cAbode of Princes\u201d, no trip to Rajasthan would be complete without seeing the Amber Fort in the pink city of Jaipur, or the cliff-top Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, but it\u2019s also worth traveling to Delhi to see Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, before hopping on a rickshaw to India Gate, a war memorial that evokes the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, or Constantine\u2019s Arch in Rome. Then there\u2019s the enduring monument of love, The Taj Mahal, in Agra.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Greece<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Glories of Greece<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Visit the land of Homer, Thucydides and Pericles this winter. Whether you want to relax among the olive groves or indulge the senses in the monasteries of Meteora, Greece is the perfect choice for travelers wondering where to visit in November. From vast temples such as that of Zeus in Athens and archaeological wonders like the ruined city of Mycenae, to little coves with sparkling sand, calamari drying out in the sun (Greece can still reach pleasant temperatures in November) and the Sanctuary of Asklepios, with its well preserved 4th<\/sup> century theater, visitors to Greece will be spoilt for choice when deciding how to spend their vacation.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Black Forest in Winter \u00a9 Rolf Weschke\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n

Germany<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Alpine Christmas Markets<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The fertile Black Forest is a wonder to behold during winter, as snow settles on the huge expanse of trees and on hilltop villages that gave the world cuckoo clocks as well as Hansel & Gretel. Not to be missed is its unofficial capital, Freiburg. Known as the \u2018Jewel of the Black Forest\u2019, it\u2019s a gorgeous university city that sits in a corner of Germany renowned for its good weather and vineyards. Walk on cobbled streets through the medieval M\u00fcnster, past the colorful stalls offering local goodies and artisanal wares, and over to the little warbling brooks that wind their way through the town \u2013\u00a0but be careful as you go, legend has it that any who fall in are fated to marry a local.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Buddha statue, Thimphu \u00a9 Tarzan9280\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n

Bhutan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bhutan Dragon Kingdom<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Kept aloft from the vicissitudes of history by the Himalayas, Bhutan has something of the surreal about it. An ecological wonder immersed in tales of saints, demons and strange animals (its national animal, the Takin, is unlike anything you will have seen before), any visit is likely to be an exhilarating experience. Must-sees include the country\u2019s temple-like fortresses and fortress-like temples, from Changangkha Lhakhang in Thimphu to Rinpung Dzong near Paro. Perhaps the most famous site in the country is the Tiger\u2019s Nest monastery, 10,000 feet up in the air, attached barnacle-like to the cliff-face, which can be hiked to through valleys of pine forest or reached via donkey-taxi.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

Stilt Fishermen of Sri Lanka \u00a9 Oktay Ortakcioglu\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Classical Sri Lanka<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

This tear-shaped island \u2013 once connected to mainland India by a strip of land known as Adam\u2019s or Rama\u2019s Bridge \u2013 offers lush jungle, grand colonial villas, towering fortresses and dazzlingly white beaches. Rich in wildlife from leopards to birds, frogs to elephants (a trip to the Pinnawala elephant orphanage is a must), it also displays its intriguing history through sites like Dambulla\u2019s colorful cave temples and the Sigiriya \u2018fortress in the sky\u2019. Finish your trip in Colombo, the country\u2019s capital city, which is lined with fine museums, buzzes with nightlife, and possesses some of the island\u2019s best markets, all within a stone\u2019s throw of the beach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
