Only a few months are left in 2023 and now is the right time to pack your back and wander. Summer season is over and winter is coming. November is considered one of the most beautiful months of the whole year. The trees had almost shed their leaves and new ones are about to grow, the surroundings are slightly cold because of the cold breezes flowing in the evening, all these things create a beautiful scenario just like a fairy tale.
Personally, for me, October and November are the two most FAVOURITE months of the year. No sweat, awesome weather, and food craving, these are the perfect combination that makes these months awesome.
