Other Top Destinations to Visit in March

March is peak spring break season, but you don’t have to head to Cancún or Panama City to have an exciting vacation. March is a great month to travel, as the last of the winter weather is winding down and there’s just a hint of spring around the corner. Skip those last few weeks of cold weather with a trip somewhere warm and sunny, or head off somewhere new before the tourist season begins in late spring and summer.

Kathmandu, Nepal

March marks the start of the spring season in Nepal, making it the ideal time for a hiking trip. Although it’s a nice time to explore the more famous alpine routes like the trail to Everest Base Camp, you will still be faced with increasingly chilly weather as you rise in elevation. Your best bet for lovely, temperate days, breezy nights, plant life in bloom, and fewer crowds is to pick a less-frequented trail with no significant changes in elevation. The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, for example, is a 5-day excursion replete with beautiful vistas and bright, blooming rhododendrons. You can get your fill of springtime hiking with plenty of downtime to spend in Kathmandu on either end.

Amman, Jordan

Oppressively hot summers and bitterly cold winters may plague Jordan, but spring is where this country truly shines. Start in Amman, where you can stroll the streets shopping for intricate jewelry and trying melt-in-your-mouth baklava from local souks as you make your way to the Roman Amphitheater. Then travel south, stopping for a dip in the Dead Sea, to make your way down to the ancient city of Petra and the desert of Wadi Rum. In Petra, pass through the narrow rock walls of Al Siq to reach the impressive facade at the city’s entrance (Bonus: return at dusk to see the entrance aglow with thousands of candles, a nightly ritual). On your trip to Wadi Rum, book an overnight stay in a luxury glamping tent to take in a night sky rich with stars.

Cherry Blossoms in Japan

Going to Japan is an experience during any time of the year, but Cherry Blossom season is something else. The Japanese word hanami can be translated to something like "flower viewing," which is a popular tradition for Japanese folks and a great attraction for tourists. Blooming time usually takes place between the end of March and the beginning of April. Every year, forecasts come out to give people an idea of when the blooming should take place

Tokyo - start: March 22 / full bloom: March 30

Sapporo - earliest: May 2 / full bloom: May 5

Sendai - start: April 8 / full bloom: April 13

Kanazawa - start: April 4 / full bloom: April 10

Nagoya - start date: March 25 / full bloom: April 4

Kyoto - start date: March 27 / full bloom: April 5

Osaka - start: March 28 / full bloom: April 5

Fukuoka - start date: March 23 / full bloom: April 1

The life of the cherry blossom, is quite short and usually lasts, at most, a couple of weeks. During the first week, the cherry trees will blossom until they reach their full bloom and splendor ("mankai" in Japanese). A week later, the blossoms will fall off the trees and hanami will be over. Although there is a forecast, it is a very weather-dependent phenomenon. So, if it starts to be warmer than expected, it will occur earlier. If the weather is not good, it will occur later or it may shorten the time the trees are in bloom.
