Where to travel in November

November is a great month for adventure and exploration. In Antarctica, it’s the start of the summer season, offering incredible opportunities to see penguins, seals, and towering icebergs under long daylight hours. Bhutan’s mild autumn weather makes it perfect for trekking, visiting ancient monasteries, and experiencing vibrant local festivals. Meanwhile, the Dominican Republic boasts warm, sunny beaches and calm seas, ideal for relaxing, snorkeling, and enjoying Caribbean waters before the high season begins.

Chile

November is the beginning of Chile’s summer and one of the best times to visit Patagonia, as the walking conditions are perfect and the landscape is alive with vibrant spring blooms. Here, you can watch majestic icebergs float down from Grey Glacier, hike to rewarding panoramic viewpoints to take in the famous Los Cuernos (‘The Horns’) of Torres del Paine, cycle through a forest of lengas and ñirres or spot the elusive puma, Andean condors and other local residents with a specialist wildlife guide.

 

The Atacama Desert is also great in November, where you can watch the sunset over moon-like landscapes, discover secret hot springs and enjoy some of the world’s best stargazing.

Icy Wonderland in Antarctica

Antarctica

In this surreal landscape of glaciers, ice floes and mountains, the icebergs are particularly dramatic in November as the winter ice breaks up and wildflowers start to bloom in South Georgia and the Falklands.

 

We recommend this extraordinary destination if you’re looking for a real adventure surrounded by awe-inspiring nature. The best way to explore is by expedition ship. On the voyage, you are likely to spot an incredible amount of wildlife up close here, such as penguins’ busy nest building and courting.

Bhutan, monks

Bhutan

This captivating mountain kingdom is the ideal regenerative and spiritual escape. In November, the weather is at its best for trekking along scenic, relatively untrodden trails, and camping in glorious valleys along the way.

 

At this time of year, endangered black-necked cranes migrate from the Tibetan plateau to the Phobjikha Valley where they remain until February. In Gangtey, a colourful festival is held in November to celebrate their arrival, which we can arrange for you to attend.

Semana peninsula Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic

November marks the beginning of the dry season in the Dominican Republic, bringing pleasant temperatures and clear skies. With lower humidity and gentle breezes, it’s the perfect time to explore the island’s beautiful beaches, hike through tropical forests, or enjoy water sports like snorkelling and kiteboarding.

 

It is also just before the peak tourist season, which means you can enjoy stunning beaches, resorts, and attractions with fewer crowds.

10 amazing wildlife species to spot in Madagascar

Madagascar

Madagascar is renowned for its exceptional wildlife, and November is a great time to see it all. This is the start of the breeding season for many animals, so you’ll have the chance to witness young lemurs, chameleons, and other species in their natural habitat. It’s also an excellent time for birdwatching, as migratory species begin to arrive.

 

You’ll have the chance to enjoy popular sites like Avenue of the Baobabs, Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, and the pristine beaches of Nosy Be in peace and quiet, giving you a more intimate and immersive experience.

 

Cambodia

Cambodia offers majestic temples, a rich historical tapestry, and miles of pristine coastal beauty, making it a captivating destination blending ancient grandeur with a fascinating cultural narrative.

 

November marks the start of Cambodia’s dry season, offering pleasant temperatures and clear skies. With lower humidity and cooler weather, it’s the best time to explore the majestic temples of Angkor, cruise along the Tonle Sap Lake, or wander through the vibrant streets of Phnom Penh without the intense heat.
