9. Goa, India
If you are ready to deal with the crowd and other challenges that India trip throws at any western traveler, Goa is the place to be in February. The exotic coastline of the Arabian Sea, cultural experiences, and dry weather are some of the highlights of this Indian state which is also regarded as the most peaceful state of the country. A hippie magnet, Goa climbed up the popularity chart with travelers during 1960s and today it attracts an estimated 2.5 million visitors (mostly foreigners) each year.
February is the month when travel season in Goa is about to end and the days are mildly warm. Beaches will be less crowded and you will find great accommodation deals in all budget ranges. You can relax, enjoy water sports and explore a unique mix of Indian and Portuguese culture without rubbing shoulders with hundreds of other tourists.
