In this monthly series, we list a few exciting travel experiences you can embark on. Please check it out…..
1 See Coffee Blossoms!
March is the time when the hills of Coorg, Sakleshpur and Chikmagalur get whitewashed in white! Yes, folks, it is the time for coffee blossoms! Our own “Cherry Blossom” time!.
After the first mango showers, white blossoms show up on coffee plants covering the slopes of western ghats in white. It is soothing for the senses with a light aroma in the air! The spell is short and lasts only for 10 – 12 days, and be there to experience it. This is the first of the exciting things to do in March 2026!

2 Go for Scuba in Netrani/Goa/Andamans/Lakshadweep
March is a good time for Scuba diving and snorkelling. The skies are clear, and the waters are still. It is not very hot either. You can choose from this list of places to experience the underwater world! We assure you, it is mind-blowingly beautiful. We did it closer to home in Netrani on the west coast, and it was once in a life time experience! This is the second of the exciting things to do in March 2026!

3 Head to a Hill Station
Hill stations in the country get crowded in summer, and it is better to be avoided. We always felt that March and April are the best months to go there. It is exam time for kids, and the crowds are less. It won’t be too cold, and the weather will be lovely. Whether it is the hill stations of the Himalayas or in South India, it is a good time to explore. This is the third of the exciting things to do in March 2026!

4 Basant Utsav in Shantiniketan or Holi in Vrindavan
The season of Spring or Vasant Ritu is the season of freshness. It is the season of rejuvenation when you see new twigs on the trees and the trees are green and lovely after winter.
Vasant Ritu is also the start of festivals in the country. Our choice of the month is either the colourful Holi in Vrindavan/Mathura or the Basant Utsav in Shantiniketan. Both are amazing experiences, and you may pick up any of them! This is the fourth of the exciting things to do in March 2026!

It is a pleasure to bicycle in the hills of South India. Munnar, Ooty, Coorg, Chikmagalur, Kodaikanal, Vagamon and Valparai are lovely places to explore at your own lazy pace on your bicycles! This is the fifth of the exciting things to do in March 2026! Take your bicycle and cycle around in the cool breeze in the morning! It is Nirvana out there!
