One of the surprises (similar to last years results) include Goa which did not make it to the Top 15 list although Goa is one of the Top-5 destinations for December). Similarly, Jaipur and Udaipur are also less popular during these summer months which could be attributed to the heat waves in Rajasthan during this time of the year.
