Where To Go This Holiday Season

Christmas is just few "night sleeps" away, the soft breeze and warmth of the yuletide season is already beckoning in the horizon and the good feeling of anticipating long vacation weeks started to send inexplicable excitement of joy and fun. 

For people who seem burnt with stress, clutters, pressure and sordid environment in the workplace, a leisure walk in the countryside or beach is a great escape. This holiday break, while other people just want to stay home to be with family, there are some who want to take an extravagant vacation to great and romantic places. So, forget the mall and public parks here are some suggestions of fabulous holiday destinations for a change.

Why not explore the beauty of nature in the countryside, strolling along the peaceful untraveled road, watching leaves fall from trees, hearing the chirping of the birds or just sit around and watch the sunset. The sweet aroma of lush tropical plants and wild flowers send a different feeling of serenity from deep within, this is an excellent ritual to take amidst the clutters of everyday life in the city. Just stare at the spectacular horizon and watch the clouds disappear into the sunset, the tender gushing of water in the river is a perfect relief of relaxing tired mind and body.

This is everybody’s favorite holiday destination, though not ideal to visit during winter season, going to a beach seaside for a walk is an excellent option to combat weariness in life temporarily. The tranquil environment of the seaside and the natural tang of soothing fresh air from the ocean plus the ritual of watching the splashing of the waves provide serenity for anxious mind. There's something magical and mysterious beyond the rushing of the waves to the seashore. So why not spend quiet afternoon at the seaside with close friends and family.
MOUNTAIN RESORT

For people living in the city, going to a mountain resort is always a great deal considering the distance, but the benefits of spending precious moments close to nature are tremendous,  it allows us to inhale fresh and unpolluted air and the fresh aroma of wild plants and flowers are excellent for healthy lungs. A leisure trip to a mountain resort is always a welcome respite for people who want to escape momentarily from the annoying life in the city. This place offers tremendous privacy and serenity too, no irritating sounds and  deadly environmental toxin.
