Where to Travel in April
Spending time in Japan to see the cherry blossom makes it one of the best places to travel in early April. It’s also when Everest treks are in full flow and Jordan isn’t too hot for hiking and biking.
JAPAN
Witness the world-famous cherry blossom
The delicate cherry blossom is Japan’s most iconic flower—and when it blooms, it creates a truly unforgettable spectacle. For a fleeting window between mid-March and April, landscapes across the country are transformed by swathes of soft pink petals. The blooms typically begin in the south and gradually move north, with stunning displays in cities like Tokyo and Kyoto.
NEPAL
Excellent conditions for mountain treks
April is one of the best times to visit Nepal, with long daylight hours and dry, stable conditions—ideal for trekking. Whether you take on the legendary Everest Base Camp trek or explore the Annapurna foothills, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking scenery and rich cultural encounters. It’s also a prime time for wildlife spotting in places like Chitwan National Park, where rhinos and crocodiles are often seen.
JORDAN
Get active in the Jordanian springtime
Spring is one of the most pleasant times to explore Jordan. April brings warm, comfortable temperatures that are perfect for active adventures, from hiking to desert exploration. The countryside, especially in the north, comes alive with vibrant wildflowers, while Wadi Rum offers milder daytime heat—though nights can still be refreshingly cool.
SPAIN
Appreciate the history and culture of Spain
With mild temperatures and relatively low rainfall, April is an excellent time to experience Spain. Walk the historic Camino de Santiago, wander through Andalucia’s wildflower-covered landscapes, or explore cities like Barcelona and Seville before peak crowds arrive. It’s a season that balances beauty, culture, and comfort.
UZBEKISTAN
Discover the ancient Silk Road
Spring in Uzbekistan offers sunny skies and comfortably warm temperatures—perfect for exploring its legendary Silk Road cities. Marvel at Samarkand’s Registan Square, visit the ancient mausoleum of Ismail Samani in Bukhara, and step back in time in Khiva, where UNESCO-listed palaces, mosques, and madrasas await.
INDIA
Track tigers in India’s national parks
April is one of the best times to visit India for tigers, as the dry season makes sightings more likely. As water sources shrink, wildlife gathers at the remaining watering holes, increasing your chances of spotting these elusive big cats. Seeing a tiger in the wild is an intoxicating experience – game drives start early in the day for the best possible chances.
