What if you could travel to a nearby retreat this weekend rather than staying home? Or what if you could visit a cooler city in northern plains rather than staying back in the hot and humid place situated in western India?
During November, northern plains remain under the influence of frequent western disturbances that bring snow and rain in the hills, some times in the plains as well. Here are some of the places which have been affected by this weather system so far, experiencing colder air and lower temperatures in comparison to other parts in the plains:
Narnaul: Housing 11 popular tourist places, Narnaul can be explored at anytime of the day since the city is experiencing a temperature of 13.6 degrees. So if you are exhausted after visiting the Taj Mahal or the Purana Qila then make a trip to Narnaul that offers a magnificent and 350 years old haveli – Rai Bal Mukund Dass Ka Chatta.
Chandigarh – Famous for its cleanliness and friendly restaurants and environment, Chandigarh offers moderate climate throughout the year. Be it the surrealistic arrangement of the rocks in Rock garden or shopping tirelessly in famous shopping arcades and markets, the pleasant weather of Chandigarh with minimum temperature of 14.4 degrees makes it all possible, even during the day. One of the coldest cities in northern plains, Chandigarh offers a place free of noise and pollution.
Churu – If you want to experience the rural Rajasthani flavor in Churu then November is the best time. Churu is known for extreme summers and extreme winters but Churu is currently observing minimum temperature of 13.6 degrees, attractive enough for tourists who often wish to visit the home of endangered black-bucks, Tal Chappar Sanctuary, in Churu.
Bareilly – Nestled in Uttar Pradesh, Bareilly is famous for its beautiful mosques and temples. The pleasant weather below 15 degrees makes the visit to these sites even more pleasant. After your religious trip, you can also visit the popular bamboo market or various museums that the city has to offer.
Amritsar: It is considered one of the coldest places in the plains. Night temperatures remain around 9 degrees towards the end of November and it drops further to 4.6 degrees during December on an average. It is currently experiencing minimum temperature of 12.4 degrees. January is the coldest month for Amritsar when minimum temperatures remain at around 3.9 degrees. February brings relief from chilly mornings in Amritsar as minimum temperatures rise to 6.5 degrees on an average.
