If the sweltering heat of the city is becoming unbearable for you, we recommend you take a break. Leave behind the endless sweating sessions through the day and head to the hills or near the beach to chill at. Start your days waking up to glorious sunsets, meditate in the cool and fresh breeze, go on nature walks or simply sit back and sip on a refreshing drink at the resort.
And if you need that slight nudge to get you packing your bag and eloping out of town, here is a list of our five current favourite destinations.
Ooty, Tamil Nadu
Lush green surroundings at V Resorts Kotagiri
Ooty offers panoramic views of hills, lush green botanical gardens and charming lakes all around the year. But the reason that makes it a must-visit destination during March is its scenic tea and spice gardens which begin to bloom in March coloring the hills in beautiful multicoloured hues. The rose gardens which bloom here only during the months between March and May make-up for another reason for making this destination one of the best places to visit in March in India.

Ratnagiri, Maharashtra
Velas Turtle Fest/ Pic Credit- Insider.in
Velas is a small village in Ratnagiri, located at a distance of 220 kms from Mumbai and home to the serene Velas beach. This destination is one of the best places to visit in March in India because of the Velas Turtle festival that it hosts every year. Here, the little olive ridley turtles hatch out of their eggs and take their first steps towards the warm waters of the Arabian Sea. Rings a bell? Well, that is probably because you are being reminded of the beautiful scene from The Last Song starring Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth when Miley discovers a Loggerhead Sea Turtle nest. So, if you were left mesmerized by that scene and secretly wished to recreate it, then this might be your chance, hurry!
