Beat the Heat with Smart Summer Travel!

Springtime is here! For some who have just experienced a long cold winter, the warmer weather is always welcome. For us Indians though spring is a short lived experience. Spring soon gives way to a sweltering and sizzling summer! Indian summers are downright rude! Rude to the body and mind!

However, mother Earth, took care and gifted us Indians with the Himalayas. With the Indian Summer is on the rampage in the plains, people literally flee to the cooler climes of the Himalayan Hideaways! With the schools also closing for Summer vacation, families with children also find staying at home … a tad difficult!

It always makes sense to plan your Summer Special Vacation in advance and make reservations early to avoid the last minute rush! Below is a list of my favorite Himalayan Summer Getaways!

Manali  

India’s favorite honeymoon getaway. Manali exudes charm and romance. Manali with its developed tourist infrastructure caters to one and all. With a number of interesting places to visit, Manali is the ideal getaway for honeymooners and families. Check out this Summer Special Manali holiday here. Beautiful Manali and its breathtaking mountainscapes are an ideal summer getaway.


Darjeeling defines “Hill Station”. Its colonial past adds a layer of mystery. Travelling down the memory is all that much better in Darjeeling. Live in the one of the wood paneled hotels, walk up to the Mall and take in the fresh summer breeze. Darjeeling is truly the Queen of the hills. Darjeeling on your mind, click here.


Another preferred destination for honeymooners owing to its variety, from modern and cosmo Gangtok to the rugged beauty of Pelling and North Sikkim. Sikkim has something for everyone. Sikkim in summer is a truly wonderful, wonderful experience. Fulfill your dreams of Sikkim here and here.



Not many of us are aware of Bhutan, an exotic, foreign destination right under our noses. Bhutan is different from the typical Indian Himalayan getaway in terms of food, ethnicity, culture and infrastructure. If you are in the mood for a Himalayan country distinct from the regular Indian Hill Station, Bhutan is the perfect choice for your summer getaway. This link here gives you just that.



A favorite of generations of Indians, including me. Kashmir is still the quintessential “Paradise on Earth”. In summer, with its mild weather and tulips in full bloom, Kashmir metamorphoses into a pleasant dream. For your perfectly planned holiday, click here. Kashmir is a dream, live it, fulfill it.
