Winter Wonderland!

So Christmas is a month away and what better way to spend it with snow and winter climate?

I am going to share with you my favourite five places as to where to be this Christmas to experience a magical-filled Christmas where there is snow and the spirit of Christmas without burning a hole in your pocket!


1) Snow World in Genting Highlands, Malaysia



The new Snow World is newly renovated and is located at Level T2A, Genting First World Plaza. It features a winter downtown and World Heritage concept with a breath-taking view of the whole surrounding which makes it an ideal place for photo-taking. The temperature is -6 degrees Celsius and 22.8k sq ft which makes it the biggest winter wonderland in Malaysia!

2)Gulmarg, Kashmir
It boasts the world's highest ski-lift and it attracts more adventurous skiers and snowboarders, as the gondola rises to almost 4OOOm, you are guaranteed a cold,white and snowy Christmas, so go ahead and grab some cheap flights to Delhi this Christmas!




3) Mont Blanc,France

Europe's highest mountain is a sure hit on Christmas Day, even if you do not fancy the 4810m hike, the flights to France are usually exceptionally cheap and you can find it with ease. Being at the French Alps is the excellent start to the Christmas season!

4)Hokkaido, Japan

I suppose this place needs no introduction as it is already so well known to globetrotting skiers and snowboarders and the northernmost Japanese island of Hokkaido receives massive snowfalls every winter which means a White Christmas is certain. The ski resorts of Niseko, Furano and Rusutsu will be full of powdery conditions this Christmas! A not-to-be missed destination if you have a reasonable budget!

5) Lapland

Lapland is home to Santa's global manufacturing base and distribution centre but it is not a country by itself but within the Arctic Circle which spans Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. A white Christmas is a sure bet and you might even meet Santa himself!
