Have a colorful time (literally) on your next holi-day

/ -- Agoda, one of the world's fastest growing online travel agents (OTA), shares some top tips and destinations to help you enjoy Holi, the traditional Hindu Festival of Colors.

Historically marking the arrival of spring, Holi has evolved as a celebration of love, fertility, friendship and youth. It's an opportunity for people to get together with friends and loved ones to have good old-fashioned fun. Central to the celebration is an afternoon devoted to playing with water, covering each other in colored powders known as gulal, and indulging in sweet treats -- a day that children (and adults) look forward to all year.

Holi takes place from 20-21 March 2019, though dates may vary in different countries. If Holi sounds like something you'd enjoy, here are some destinations to consider and tips to help you have a great time:
Go all out with a celebration in Goa, India
India and Nepal are great destinations to get the true taste of this beloved festival. Head to Goa, the party capital of India, for a celebration that's more on the wild side. Be prepared to be doused in colored water as part of the fun!
Stay at the Amore Manolita, a great space to share with friends. It includes a kitchenette, so you can even make your own organic eco-friendly colors the day before the celebration using flowers and common ingredients available in local markets. If you plan to visit Goa during Holi, remember to watch out for the water balloons that cheeky neighbourhood children are sure to throw!
Visit Pokhara, Nepal for a different take on the celebrations
Head to the U.S. for the some of the largest festivals combining both color and music
