You may be forgoing certain indulgences for Lent so all the more reason to give yourself a holiday as a distraction from denial.
The cherry blossom season, known as sakura, begins in Japan in March when trees metamorphose into big clouds of pink and white. Kyoto, Mount Yoshino and Hirosaki Castle Park are a few of the best places to witness cherry trees in bloom.
March sees the vibrant 'Holi' festival in India, when Indians celebrate the commencement of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Huge processions are held throughout the country, accompanied by throwing powdred paint and firing water pistols in what can justifiably claim to be the most colourful festival in the world.
If you’re still battling the results of Christmas overindulgence now is a good time to visit Thailand and one of the superb health retreats in our Zen portfolio. Lose weight, detox, get fit or improve your yoga practice, the choice is yours.
