Travelling is usually more enjoyable in the spring, especially in April. The air is clean and new, and the temperatures are moderate. This month often marks Easter, when communities all over the world celebrate Christ's death and resurrection in distinctive ways.

Around this time, certain nations celebrate the start of a new year. There's no doubt that excursions into the vast outdoors will satisfy those who would rather celebrate nature than nightlife. A summary of the top destinations for April travel:

1. Songkran in Chiang Mai: In Chiang Mai, April is the hottest month, but Songkran, or Thai New Year, provides a chance to cool off. The water battle event is a highlight of the celebration that lasts for a week. The major reason for doing this, according to the Thais, is not so much for cooling reasons as for good luck.
   
   Although hoses and water pistols are also commonly used on the streets, streams and canals are the most popular locations for this. In addition to washing themselves, the Thais use perfumed water in silver bowls to clean Buddhas. In order to wish others luck, they also tie ropes around their wrists.
    
2. Semana Santa in Seville: Semana Santa, or Holy Week, and the Feria de Abril, which takes place two weeks later, are two of the most significant events that Seville hosts in April. One of the best celebrations of Holy Week takes place in Seville, where floats portraying events from the Passion or the distraught Virgin Mary march every day.
   
   The Andalusian city comes alive during the fair, which is the main event. Partygoers are especially lively in the casetas, or private tents. For a week of dancing, listening to folk music, and mingling, the residents dress traditionally.
    
3. Salar de Uyuni: It's difficult to find a more extraordinary place to travel than Salar de Uyuni. Salar de Uyuni, one of the flattest and largest salt flats on Earth, is situated in Bolivia's Andes Mountains. In Bolivia, the rainy season typically ends in April, at which point the Salar partially submerges.
   
   Like a mirror, the water mirroring the sky above perfectly is sitting above the cemented salt. As a result, guests can enjoy unearthly and breath-taking views of the surroundings in a strange landscape.
    
4. King’s Day in Amsterdam: Amsterdam is among the top destinations to visit in April. The city has officially experienced spring, Keukenhof is in full bloom, and King's Day festivities cap off an exciting month. At the birth of Queen Wilhelmina in 1885, King's Day was formerly known as Queen's Day. Following Willem-Alexander's accession to the throne in 2014, it was renamed King's Day and celebrated on April 27.
   
   As a tribute to the Dutch Royal Family, everyone in Amsterdam dresses in orange for the massive outdoor event that takes place on this day. Parties, DJ music, and a sizable street market where haggling over prices is commonplace are all part of the festivities. On this public holiday, the city's little canals are crowded with brightly decorated boats, and spectators gather on the banks and bridges to observe.
    
5. Semana Santa in Antigua: In Antigua, Guatemala, Semana Santa, often known as Holy Week, really lasts more than a week. The week leading up to Easter is the most spectacular, but it starts on Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Throughout Holy Week, there are numerous parades that start with a float featuring the Virgin Mary and are followed by ladies wearing black clothing.
   
   Statues of Christ bearing a cross are carried by men dressed in purple robes on floats. Everyone treads on vibrant carpets made of sawdust, which are destroyed during the parade. Though colourful, the week is serious as well because Catholics celebrate the biggest Semana Santa in the area.
    
6. Scoppio del Carro in Florence: In Florence, a well-known Italian city, the Easter march takes on a distinct twist as part of the almost 400-year-old Scoppio del Carro, or "Explosion of the Cart," celebration. The Easter Sunday custom, which dates back to 1622, entails pulling a cart loaded with coals to the archbishop's cathedral, where a rocket is fired in the direction of the cart as it approaches its destination.
   
   Fireworks shoot out of it as soon as it touches the cart. For the remainder of the year, Florentines will experience good fortune if the ceremony proceeds as scheduled and every fireworks bursts.
    
7. Bhaktapur Bisket Jatra: The people of Bhaktapur, a town east of Kathmandu, have a distinctive style of celebrating Bisket Jatra, or Nepali New Year. The "City of Devotees," Bhaktapur, celebrates the Nepali New Year with a chariot festival in April. Starting from the temple dedicated to the god Bhairab, locals drag large vehicles around the town while engaging in a tug-of-war between the two factions.
   
   The victor gets to drive the car to the Hanumante River, where offerings are made to the gods and left for seven days. To commemorate the beginning of the Nepali New Year, an 8-meter (25-foot) pole is also set up, and when it falls, there is another tug-of-war.
    
8. Maui Hawaii: Although it's always a good idea to say "aloha" to Hawaii, April is a fantastic month to visit Maui. Since most winter guests have left and gone home, spring visitors may enjoy the greatest weather on the island at reduced rates. Additionally, April is a great month to take a boat out on the water and search for migrating humpback whales.
   
   These aquatic creatures find considerable attraction in the calm, rather shallow waters of Maui. Boats are not allowed to get any closer than 300 feet due to federal laws, but even then, you can watch them dive and spout.
    
9. Victoria Falls: The most remarkable feature of the Zambezi River is Victoria Falls. Water falls over a distance of around 2.5 km (1.6 miles) at a height of more than 90 metres (300 feet). Although the falls are spectacular year-round, they are particularly so in April when the water flow is at its greatest. At that point, the falls produce a waterfall that flows over 500 million cubic litres (132 million gallons) of water each minute.
   
   Visitors need goggles because the spray is so thick; umbrellas are insufficient. Even though some of Africa's most breath-taking waterfalls are visible from a great distance, Knife-edge Bridge is the ideal location to observe the falls from the ground, and a helicopter tour offers an amazing aerial view.
    
10. Comayagua Street Carpets: With its street carpet tradition, the sleepy colonial village of Comayagua, Honduras, explodes into a whirlwind of activity and colour during the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Built from layers of coloured sawdust mixed with various organic elements like rice and flower petals, the enormous carpets are intricately patterned to represent biblical characters and scenes leading up to Jesus Christ's crucifixion.
    
    The community then participates in a procession that re-enacts the events of the crucifixion by reading passages from scripture, carrying religious objects, and marching on the carpets dressed in costumes.
