Best Places to Visit in Summer in India

Summer, when pronounced in Sanskrit, etymologically also means ‘Samar’ or the heat of battle. In a sub-tropical country like India, which also happens to be a peninsula, the season of summer is nothing short of a battle. In most of the south, west and mid- North India , summer is excruciatingly hot. While the coastal areas benefit from the sea’s maritime influence, the landlocked states are the ones most affected with dry heat called ‘loo.’ But summer is also the season for vacations in most of the country and even abroad, so then, what do you do if you want to plan a holiday to India in summer? 

Well, we have a saving list for you. It details the places in India, the mountainous regions, the hill stations, the northernmost Himalayan cities; places that are worth a visit from the month of March to June-July and show you a great time even in the heat of summer.

Manali is one of the foremost suggestions that come to mind when we think ‘hill stations.’ Well, good for Manali, because the town is a stunning summer getaway. It maintains the perfect weather at this time of the year, perched high as it is in the snow-capped ranges of North India . It is not too cold, but cooler than the other scorching parts of India. There may not be any snow to play in at this time, but you can rest assured that there will be loads of greenery, some snow to see on far flung mountains, cool days and cooler nights. You can indulge in trekking, zorbing, mountain and quad biking as well as paragliding in Manali in summer, and go visit the beautiful bird sanctuaries nearby.

• Manali Tourism And Travel Guide

Shimla is known as the summer capital of the British soldiers that missed too much of their own home. With its quaint mountains and deep valleys, light mist and cool sunshine, Shimla is one of the most elegant hill stations of modern India . Although crowded with tourists in the May to July months, the city still makes for a great holiday for summer. The cafes in its lonely streets, the too-crowded-for-their-own-good markets, the temples of local deities on hilltops and lodges that still bear the mark of the British - we bet you are already in love with it all!

• Shimla Tourism And Travel Guide

Summers in Ladakh may not be as warm as most people like them to be, but they are the best there is. In fact, the road to Ladakh from Srinagar is almost virtually inaccessible in the peak winter months. So travellers only get these few summer months from March to August-September to visit the northernmost state of India . Many adventure enthusiasts also prefer to take their bikes and cut a road trip up north from Delhi or Srinagar. Ladakh with its stunning landscapes, white deserts, Buddhist monasteries and crystal clear lakes is a land right out of fairytales. You get adventure and serenity in equal doses here, and how!

• Ladakh Tourism And Travel Guide

Who said India does not cater to ski lovers? Auli is its star in the skiing world. With its undulating beautiful slopes, perfectly powdered snow maintained all through the year, and sceneries to die for, Auli is India’s own ski resort perched high up in the state of Uttarakhand . It has as many miles of green meadows and coniferous tree forests as it has powdered snow slopes, so you get the best of both worlds - the peace of the mountains as well as the thrill of skiing. Though February onwards is the best time for skiing in Auli, summer months are big on tourism here because of the unbearable heat in the rest of the country. You can enjoy cable car rides, take a trekking trip up a pass, go for overnight camping and bonfires, and of course, enrol in a skiing resort.

• Auli Tourism And Travel Guide

What could one say about Kashmir that already hasn’t been said? It is a force of nature that has been good to the world but the world hasn’t been good to it. Even so, Kashmir is one of the most beautiful paradises in the season of summer. When the streams burst out of their thawing trickles and trees bloom with nascent flowers, when there is a light mist and not the dense fog of winter to navigate, and the Dal flows freely with shikaras bobbing with fruits, flowers and green leafies, Kashmir welcomes tourists with open arms. Though in the current scenario you will need to inquire about the state of affairs and security in the state, it is almost always safe to travel. Enjoy sights in Srinagar , go boating in Dal, head to Gulmarg for a photoshoot ala Yash Chopra or go see the fields of gold and heavenly horses galloping in Sonmarg. When in Kashmir, sky is your limit.

• Jammu and Kashmir Tourism And Travel Guide

Steering from the north of India to the east, one finds that summers weave their own magic in this part of the country too. Gagtok, the capital of Sikkim , makes for a brilliant destination for summer travel as it is ensconced in thick clouds, is endowed with lush greenery of summer and gives you a stunning scenic backdrop of valleys and hills. It is fringed by the mighty Khangchendzonga peak. Another hilly city that is a mix of Buddhist peace as well as daring adventure, when in Gangtok , you get to enjoy the wildlife at the national parks, visit monasteries, gorge on bowls of piping thukpa and momos, as well as meditate in the alpine ranges that border China.

• Gangtok Tourism And Travel Guide

Tawang is a neighbour of Gangtok ’s and just as beautiful, yet in a different way. It has a rocky geography and has most of the rock carpeted in lush verdant greenery. With its Buddhist hamlets that are clustered in valleys and monasteries that date back hundreds of years, Tawang is a real heart breaker with its beauty. Summer weather here is just as beautiful and people come here from all over the East and North East to find some peace in a monastery or by a waterfall. At either place, the serenity of Tawang is undisturbed.

• Tawang Tourism And Travel Guide

Darjeeling world over has been synonymous with tea. And why not? It is one of India ’s leading producers of this beverage, with its rolling gardens of tea in its hills. Most tea-lovers and travellers come to Darjeeling searching for a corner to fix their tea-addictions. With the fragrance of black and oolong in the air anywhere you go, and gardens in sight from wherever you see, Darjeeling is a British summer hill station that has lately acquired tourism for its produce. You can go on tea tours, see how tea leaves are harvested, processed and packed; you can also gorge on the magnificent view of the mighty Kanchendzonga, climb up the Tiger Hill, sit and watch daily routines at a monastery or sit back in your resort and see the sun go down over the mountain mist.

• Darjeeling Tourism And Travel Guide

Cherrapunji

Cherrapunji is, as you may have learnt in 10th grade Geography, the wettest place on this earth. It rains the most here and it rains for the longest here. So even when on vacation in summer, you may not completely escape showers. There will be thick cotton-candy like clouds engulfing you, mist hanging and swirling like a witch’s cauldron and everywhere you see only lush greenery in view. During summer especially the water bodies are all mildly warm and freely flowing, the natural root bridges are sturdy and dry to walk on, caves easier to navigate and every other natural site a little bit better than it would be during the wet monsoons.

• Cherrapunjee Tourism And Travel Guide

Dalhousie can be called a tinseltown, for the lack of a better word. It is a serene little summer getaway hill station, developed for the same reason by the British and named after Lord Dalhousie. With its vintage colonial charm houses, churches and market buildings resembling the days of the yore and natural wonders like pine tree forests, chain of valleys and rolling meadows of flowers in about every colour; Dalhousie is a dream destination. The town has an inherent Scottish influence, as is evident by the man’s name that it bears; but it also has architecture that may remind you of Scotland . Chocolate factories, cafes selling hot cakes and pies, markets where woollen wear is famous and bars for a nightcap that are open late into the evening - Dalhousie is brilliant.

• Dalhousie Tourism And Travel Guide

Mahabaleshwar

One of the most coveted hill stations from Mumbai and Pune , Mahabaleshwar is Maharashtra ’s foremost destination on the summer-getaway list. With its ghats and mountains, valleys and strawberry gardens, waterfalls and lakes and temples, it is a scenic delight for a long weekend away. People prefer to drive up into the Sahyadris and enjoy going for day treks, sightseeing tours from viewpoints, exploring forts and roaming around in the local markets. The Mapro Farm here is a must-visit and you will get to taste and buy delicious fresh fruit jams, crushes, syrups and fudges; eat Mahabaleshwar’s famous strawberry & cream, and gorge on piping hot pizzas, soups and grilled sandwiches from their in-house cafe.

• Mahabaleshwar Tourism And Travel Guide

Coorg is a hill station in Karnataka known for its spices, lush verdant mist-covered mountains and waterfalls. During summer, while the lowlands of South India are a cauldron of fire, travellers prefer to escape into the hills of Coorg to chill. With its scenic position and views that sweep in front of you, this town is perfect to relax, rejuvenate and recuperate. You can go and bathe elephants at a sanctuary (a therapeutic experience, if there ever was one), climb up trekking routes to visit the famous Iruppu Falls, drink copious amounts of filter coffees at cafes and restaurants and pick up fresh spices that were once more expensive than gold in the world.

• Coorg Tourism And Travel Guide

Tamil Nadu ’s personal hill station for a summer spent well, Coonoor is only about 40 km away from Coimbatore . It is a retreat of sorts, with its treehouses and little cottages and resorts that spell opulence and luxury in the lap of nature. Travellers enjoy hiking, sitting by waterfalls, going to viewpoints and the usual walking round the town market when in Coonoor. Its X-factor is the Droog Fort where Tipu Sutan made his base during his fight against the British. Then there are the fragrant Nilgiris, tea gardens and dewy meadows that roll down the hills on a summer day. Utterly breath-taking.

• Coonoor Tourism And Travel Guide

A hill station in God’s own land, Munnar is the highlight that leaves behind the backwaters of Kerala and takes you to the hilly vantage points that overlook all that beauty. With greenery and hills, amazing summer climate and rolls of tea plantations, Munnar is perfect for a vacation from March to June. There are lakes to go boating, and waterfalls to reach by hiking; there are special resorts that hire out tree houses for a stay and slopes where you can rent a mountain bike. With so much to do, you are bound to forget about backwater rides and Ayurvedic massages in a jiffy.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Now the coasts of Indian peninsula do heat up during summer, that is true. But some places are still worth visiting. Like the Andaman And Nicobar Islands . The beaches and small islets here are suffused with glittering golden sands, clear torquiest waters and green mountains that are sea-lovers’ dreams. Even though it is mildly hot in the day, the cooler sea breezes by the evening more than make up for it. At this time of the year, the beaches have lesser crowd and also serve most adventure activities as monsoon is still far away. You can enjoy your time at places like Port Blair , Neil Island , Havelock etc; go banana boat riding, sailing, parasailing, deep sea diving as well as scuba diving. You can also get your PADI certificate from one of the schools here.

Rishikesh is a delight of spirituality, adventure and serenity. In summers, this jewel of Uttarakhand shines with adventure tourism as well as those visitors that come seeking yoga, meditating courses and to learn the ancient arts of Indian Ayurveda. There is river rafting, white water rafting and mountain climbing as well as ashrams to go to. During summer, the temperature of Rishikesh is controlled to a cool mild 25-35°C. This lends it an air of charm. Sitting on Ganga ghats, going for camps and meditating in one of the ashrams make for great summer activities here.

• Rishikesh Tourism And Travel Guide

Corbett National Park

While most national parks in the country are too hot to visit during the peak summer time, Corbett National Park is not so bad. Due to its location in the northern reaches of India , and its proximity to the foothills of Himalayan ranges, the Corbett National Park is great weather-wise in summer months. You also have a higher chance to scout tigers and other rare wild animals as they come out of their holes in search of water due to the parched summer. So if a wildlife safari trip is your idea of a summer holiday then Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand is perfect.

• Jim Corbett National Park

Mcleod Ganj

Mcleod Ganj  or mini-Tibet is the home of Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader in exile. There are also Tibetan refugees here who settled after their exodus from Tibet back in the ’50s. Hence Mcleod Ganj today is a great place to go for a holiday and learn about Tibetan culture, history and way of life. During summer, Mcleodganj is nice and cool, welcoming the travellers weary from the heat of the plains. This little town in Himachal Pradesh houses lakes and settlements, hills and monasteries. You can go to a handicrafts store and pick up Tibetan handmade souvenirs, visit Tibetan museums, spend an evening chatting up locals or just go to a quiet monastery and meditate. For the hippy at heart there are also many bars, cafes, tattoo studios and more.

Top 10 Places to visit in India in Summer With Family in 2024

Last Updated on May 9, 2024

Summer vacations in India are long because in most cities it is too hot for children to go to school. This makes planning a summer vacation trip even harder, as there are only few places that are cooler, and everyone rushes to those sites. So, in this post I have curated the list of best places to visit in summer in India with family in 2024 that are worth your time and money.

The list combines some touristic places with some offbeat gems for your ideal summer vacation. I have a plan to avoid the crazy crowd and traffic of Darjeeling in summer, where you can escape the crowd and still explore the scenic Himalayan terrain. I have similar alternative for Ooty in the south and Shimla in the north.

Since we are talking about summer destinations in India to visit with family, I have given priority to the safety and tourism infrastructure in the places. You can visit these places with kids as well as elderly parents.

Let's take a quick look at the criteria of selecting the top 10 places to visit in summer in India this year.

The post contains affiliate links for tours, hotels etc. This means if you make any purchase through the links in the post, I may get a commission without any additional cost to you.

How to choose a summer holiday destination in India?

The most important factor in summer for most is, of course, the climate. While in Europe, summer calls for sunbathing in the beaches, in India, it calls for escaping to someplace cooler. The humidity near the coastline and the burning temperature in interior India makes life miserable in the cities. Which is why, beaches and desert take a backseat, and people flock into the hill stations.

This brings us to the 2nd factor – crowd. In India avoiding crowd completely is nearly impossible unless you go on solo trips to obscure lands. Family-friendly summer destinations in India tend to pull crowd because they have all the amenities, accessibility and great options for food and accommodation.

The other factors I have considered is budget and accessibility. Some of the tourist spots like Kashmir and Lakshadweep are being aggressively promoted by the government which has led to prices skyrocketing in these areas. These are beautiful beyond doubt, but if you are looking for something that wouldn't burn a whole in your pocket if you pan a family vacation to, then this list is for you.

Thanks to my travel blogger friends as well who generously contributed to this list.

1. Meghalaya – the abode of clouds

Meghalaya is a beautiful state of India nestled in the Garo, Khasi, and Jaintia hills. It is one of the least explored places in India but has a wealth of experiences to offer. The temperature in summer is between 16 degrees and 31 degrees, with low precipitation making it a great time to visit the state.

The progressive culture, great music, environmental consciousness, and exemplary cleanliness are some of the areas where the state has a lot to teach the rest of India. Go on a family trip to Meghalaya and explore a new culture.

How to Reach Meghalaya?

The main connectivity of Meghalaya to the rest of India is through Guwahati, the capital of Assam. Umroi Airport near Shillong offers limited flights, but it tends to be costly and infrequent.

✈️

You can fly to the Guwahati International Airport and book a taxi for a 3-hour drive to Shillong.

Arrive at Guwahati Railway Station, then hire a taxi or take a bus to Shillong, enjoying scenic views along the way.

Scenic driving route on NH40 makes it perfect for a road-trip from Guwahati. Volvo buses are also available from neighboring states

🛫Flight delays are getting too common in India these days. Get 100% compensation on delayed flights using Airhelp !

Trip Activities

Start your trip with the capital Shillong, which is resplendent with natural beauty. 

Enjoy the green vistas on a road trip from Shillong to Mawlynnong, which are just 90 km apart. This plastic-free village has set an example of environment-friendliness. It was recognized as the cleanest village in Asia and is often called “God’s own garden”.

While the homestays here are a little expensive, it will be a good experience to spend one night there. If you are on a tighter budget you can restrict yourself to a day trip.

There are many other natural and man-made wonders in Meghalaya. Limestone caves, perennial waterfalls, pristine lakes, forests, national parks – this tiny state has everything. You will find living root bridges which are man-made wonders of Garo and Khasi tribes.

The world’s only double-decker living root bridge can be found in Cherrapunji. Coming back to natural wonders, take a boat trip with your family at the transparent Umngot river of India , flowing through Dawki, a border town between India and Bangladesh.

2. Pelling – The Gorgeous Himalayan town

Located 131 km from the capital city Gangtok, Pelling is arguably the most beautiful town in the state of Sikkim. Pelling is an attractive destination for the mountaineers who use this as a base camp for challenging trekking expeditions. There are regular buses from Gangtok to Pelling and many jeep services to other nearby towns.

The temperature in Pelling ranges between 15 degrees and 20 degrees with occasional rainfall in the evening. The best thing about these rains is that following a night of heavy showers the sky clears up the next morning making way to the best views of Kanchenjunga from your hotel.

How To Reach Pelling

The most popular ways of getting to Pelling is through New Jalpaiguri Railway station or Bagdogra Airport, both of which are located in West Bengal.

The nearest airport to Pelling is Bagdogra, in West Bengal, from where a scenic 4-5 hour drive gets you to your destination.

The closest railway station is New Jalpaiguri, setting the stage for a memorable drive through breathtaking views that draw travelers towards this route.

People usually combine Pelling with a trip to Darjeeling, or Gangtok or Dooars. You can drive from any of these places to Pelling.

Activities in Pelling

In Pelling, you will experience the Tibetian culture and visit some beautiful Buddhist monasteries. Pemyangtse Monastery is the largest and most famous of them.

Other places to visit when in Pelling are the rock garden, the spectacular Kanchenjunga falls, the Pelling skywalk and the Khechopalri Lake. You can also visit the ruins of Rabdentse Palace to quench some thirst for history.

Overall, it is a budget summer holiday destination which offers a plethora of experiences.

Accommodation in Pelling

There are different types of accommodation in Pelling – from budget hotels to homestays as well as big resorts. There are sufficient public transport and local tour companies for budget travel.

You can book even 4-star hotels within Rs.5000 per night in lower Pelling. Budget hotels with standard facilities are available from Rs. 1000 per night. My top pick is Kaya Gantavya Resort in Lower Pelling.

3. Kurseong – The Offbeat Alternative to Darjeeling

Located at 4860 feet, Kurseong is the unsung twin of Darjeeling, 32 km away from the most famous hill station of West Bengal . Like Darjeeling it has a distinct Anglo-Indian charm, expansive tea gardens on rolling hills, breathtaking views of the Himalayas and beautiful monasteries. Unlike Darjeeling it is quiet, and significantly less commercialized.

Most importantly, you don't have to battle the traffic jams to explore this small town in the summer.

How to Reach Kurseong?

Bagdogra Airport serves as the gateway, followed by approximately a 3-hour drive.

Reach New Jalpaiguri (NJP) station by train then hire a cab from there. Or board the enchanting Toy Train from NJP to Darjeeling, which stops at Kurseong

Direct buses from Siliguri provide an alternative, yet driving remains the preferred choice for its scenic beauty.

Attractions in Kurseong

Some of the best places to visit in Kurseong are Eagles's Craig, Deer Park and Netaji Subhash Museum. The Makaibari tea estate producing the famous Makaibari Darjeeling tea is located inKurseong. You can also take day trips to Rohini Park, Chimney and Paglajhora falls.

Accommodations in Kurseong

You can enjoy a luxurious stay at Taj Chia Kutir in the Makaibari tea estate.🛋️🌟

You can also choose from a plethora of homestays and hotels in a lower range. The Allita Hotel is a top pick in mid-budget category.

4. Kalimpong -The Charming Himalayan City

Kalimpong is a lovely Himalayan town in North Bengal in the Kalimpong district of West Bengal. Not as famous and crowded as Darjeeling, it offers a tranquil escape from the heat of summer. Stay in the Delo hills to enjoy cool weather and amazing views of the mountains.

How To Reach Kalimpong?

Fly into Bagdogra airport and hire a cav reach Kalimpong in 2.5-hours

Arriving at New Jalpaiguri and then driving to Kalimpong is popular for the stunning vistas it offers

Direct buses from Siliguri provide an alternative, yet driving remains the preferred choice for its scenic beauty

Attractions in Kalimpong

The Kalimpong Science city is a classic amusement park that encourages scientific temper in kids. It is a must-visit place when you are in Kalimpong with family. You can visit the science city, Hanuman tok, Buddha park, cactus garden and Deolo Park on the same day.

The next few days you can spend exploring the countryside like Lava, Lolegaon , Rishyap and others. You can also enjoy excursions to Takdah, Tinchuley and Lamahatta.

Besides breathtaking views Kalimpong also has a bustling market and amazing nightlife, just like Darjeeling. You can book your stay in Morgan House, a government owned property in Kalimpong Town. You will also get several mid-budget hotels in Delo Hills, which is the highest point in Kalimpong and offer excellent weather during the summer.

5. Munnar – The Lush Green Nilgiris

Munnar is the ruby in the bejeweled crown of Kerala, God’s own country. The queen of hills in the Western Ghats is known for its unparalleled green vistas, the rich diversity of flora and fauna, the lakes and cascades.

How to reach Munnar?

Cochin International Airport is the nearest, from where a 3-4 hour drive leads you to Munnar.

The Aluva Railway Station, followed by a scenic drive, is another option, with the drive from Cochin being particularly favored for its spectacular views.

🚗🚍

Road trip to Munnar is a great option as the road connectivity is great.

Buses from major Kerala cities and even Bangalore are available, making accessibility easy.

Attractions in Munnar

It is my favorite place in South India and an excellent summer holiday destination. Due to the high altitude and greenery, the climate remains cool even when many other hill stations in south India are not.

For example, Wayanad is another amazing hill station in Kerala, but I will not recommend it for summer vacation because it would be hot. Munnar, on the other hand, has a very soothing and temperate climate.

Kodaikanal and Ooty are great, but they are extremely crowded in summer. While you will not need light woolens as you would in Pelling, you will not perspire either. Take your family to the bustling tea gardens and tour of one of the many tea factories of Munnar.

The advantage of visiting Munnar in summer is that you will get a clear sky and a clear view of the mountains.

It is also a great time to spot wildlife as animals come out of the depths of the jungle to drink water in the lakes. Visit the Eravikulam national park to spot the endangered Nilgiri tahr and walk freely in the hills. You can also go on a safari in Thekkady tiger reserve, which is just 93 km away from Munnar. Don't miss the jeep safari to the highest organic tea estate in the world, just outside Munnar, at Kolukkumalai .

The nearest city with airport accessibility is Kochi which is 132 km from Munnar and has frequent bus service. You can also visit Munnar by an overnight Volvo bus from Bangalore.

6. Shimoga – Go off-beat in Karnataka

Shimoga and Sharavati valley is probably the most underrated destinations in Karnataka . That’s a good thing because most of the places are quite unexplored.

How to reach?

Mangalore Airport, followed by a 3-hour drive, is the closest air travel option.

Shimoga Railway Station offers direct access, making it the most convenient and preferred method of travel.

Located 440 km from the city, it's a great destination for a road trip from Bangalore . KSRTC buses provide a good road connection, yet trains are the go-to for comfort.

The impeccable beauty of the Gajanur dam, the views from Kavaledurga fort and the Jog Falls are my favorite attractions in Shimoga.

Explore the nearby Honnemaradu Lake and experience sunset at Agumbe. There are many other waterfalls and trekking trails in the Sharavati valley.

You can also visit the Sharavati wildlife reserve for a safari. Read our full travel guide for Shimoga .

Accomodation in Shimoga

Royal Orchid Shimoga, Hotel Mayura near Jog Falls.

7. Dalhousie – Khajjar, Himachal Pradesh

Himachal Pradesh is a landlocked Himalayan state known for its undulating mountains and green vistas. Dalhousie is an amazing place for family vacation which has a well-developed tourist infrastructure but less crowded than Shimla or Manali.

Arrive at Pathankot Airport in Punjab and then hire a cab for a 3-hour drive to Dalhousie.

Traveling from Pathankot Railway Station by cab or bus is the favored option, offering the ease of reaching and exploring the local sights.

Multi-day road trip from Delhi and NCR is a popular way to reach Dalhousie. It's a long 11-hour drive but worth the scenic vews.

You can enjoy the colonial architecture, the beautiful weather, views of the snow-capped mountains and the waterfalls in Dalhousie. A trip to Dalhousie can also include a day trip to Khajjar, the mini-Switzerland of India and Chamba. Grab the detailed itinerary for a family trip to Dalhousie Khajjar and Chamba here .

8. Sangla Valley – Off the beaten track in the Himalayas

The Himalayas comes to the rescue from Delhi's scorching hot weather. When Shimla and Manali are swarming with tourists, I went looking to  Sangla valley for a quieter recluse. Here are only a handful of tourists in the peak summer months which makes it a perfect destination for family holidays.

How to Reach?

Shimla airport is the nearest, but it's the road trip from Shimla that captivates many for its immersive experience in the Himalayan beauty.

The nearest station is Shimla, followed by a drive that offers breathtaking views and an adventurous journey, making it a popular choice.

Buses are available from Chandigarh, Delhi and Shimla to this region. You can also prepare for a long and exhilarating road trip.

Activities in Sangla Valley

The valley is surrounded by lush greenery, snow-capped mountains in visible sight and a river flowing at a fast pace. Baspa riverbed of Sangla is a lot quieter version of Manali's Beas River. No activities in place, no food vendors, just huge rocks to enjoy the scenery, Baspa River is perfect for those who'd like to enjoy time with family amid nature.

Bering Nag temple dedicated to the lord of snakes and is built from wooden structures based on Buddhist pagodas. The valley is also home to centuries-old Kamru Fort which is said to host 33000 Gods. The main shrine of the fort isn't open for tourists while the Kamakshi Devi temple in the premises is open for those who'd like to pray here. A Buddhist monastery is another place to visit here, it isn't open all day, but the monks open up the doors for those who'd like to visit.

Accommodation in Sangla

Accommodation is available starting from Rs.1500 even in 3-star hotels if you book early. The average price of a 3-star hotel is around Rs.2500 per night.

9. Kasol – The Heavenly Himalayas

Nestled in the lap of the Parvati Valley, Kasol emerges as an offbeat yet enchanting summer escape for families seeking tranquility without breaking the bank. It is one of the most popular destinations for budget backpackers and moutain-lovers.

Known for its picturesque landscapes and laid-back atmosphere, Kasol provides a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. The offbeat charm of this destination sets it apart, offering a break from the conventional tourist hubs.

How to reach Kasol?

Bhuntar airport is the closest, with a short drive to Kasol.

While Pathankot Railway Station serves as a starting point, buses from Delhi and Chandigarh directly to Kasol are most popular for their convenience and budget-friendly nature.

Buses ply from major cities like Delhi, Chandigarh and Manali. The roads are usually in good condition for driving during the Summer months, before monsoon kicks in.

You can explore the fairy forest in Pulga, visit the Parashar Lake and temple and enjoy trekking in the valleys.

Affordable accommodations, ranging from cozy guesthouses to riverside camps, cater to various budgets.

Kasol is a scenic drive from Bhuntar Airport, making it convenient for time-poor travelers. With the Parvati River serenading in the background and the towering mountains as your backdrop, Kasol promises a unique family retreat, fostering lasting memories in the lap of nature.

10. Ladakh – The Barren Beauty

Ladakh is a Union Territory situated in the northern part of India, surrounded by the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range. The primary hub in Ladakh is Leh, serving as the entry point to the region's breathtaking landscapes and cultural attractions.

How to reach Ladakh?

Reaching Ladakh, a region celebrated for its stark landscapes and rich culture, requires planning due to its remote location and challenging terrain. Ladakh is not directly accessible by train, so travelers typically combine train travel with road journeys to reach this breathtaking destination.

The quickest and most reliable method to reach Ladakh is flying directly to Leh Airport.

Ladakh is not accessible by train. Nearest railway stations are Pathankot and Jammu Tawi, both located around 700 km away.

🚗🏍️

If you love adventure, you can drive or ride your bike through Manali-Leh Highway which is open only in summer.

With its moderate temperatures ranging from 15°C to 20°C, it offers a perfect escape from the scorching heat. A week is ample to explore Ladakh's beauty, suitable for families with children and adventure seekers alike. Marvel at attractions like Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley, and monasteries that dot the landscape.

To commute within Ladakh, taxis and rented bikes are readily available, allowing you to traverse the breathtaking landscapes efficiently. Pack your bags for a unique family adventure in Ladakh!

That's a wrap for this list. I have tried to cover the most budget-friendly and family-friendly options for you to explore this summer. Please share you favorite summer escapes in the comment section. Check out my top travel planning resources for Indian destinations.

India has so many amazing vacation destinations for families! That beach in your photo is just stunning. You don’t even have to leave the country to have all sorts of beauty. I haven’t yet been to India, but your post is making me want to go!

I will never grow tired of beaches, like in Kasargod. However, Munner and Katra are both high on my bucket list. I enjoy touring tea factories and the spectacular view mountains provide.

I adore Munnar with the beautiful tea plantations. We spent a few nights there in 2017 and I have always wanted to return. Thekaddy was also beautiful and the Tiger Reserve, unfortunately, we did not see any tigers that day. It looks like we have many more destinations to add to our next visit.

It seems India is a great travel destination for people of all ages. It’s very surprising to hear that Meghalaya is not only beautiful, but also very clean. From all I’ve heard, India is very dirty, despite being so culturally rich. For me, the quaint Himalayan town of Pelling looks the most appealing.

Great post! I have been contemplating going to India but can only go during your summer which I simply can’t do as I doubt I could handle the heat. So this post is perfect and escaping to the mountains is something I’d love and I can’t imagine anything more beautiful than going to the foothills of the Himalayas. Why is Meghalaya the least explored place in India when its so stunning???

Hi Amy, The entire north east India has been off the tourist maps for various reasons related to border tensions, terrorism etc. But they are safe now.

That’s a fantastic list. It’s a shame that I’ve only been to 1 of these places – Munnar. I have some very fond memories of the little town. Meghalaya is high up in my wish list. Hope I’ll get to go there soon.

I am feeling intrigue of visiting Meghalaya and Munnar! Meghalaya have that beautiful water bodies, and Munnar have that huge greenery (those are tea farms, right?). I like this combination and I know that I would learn a lot while having a week of R and R.

Yes, these are the tea gardens of Munnar

I’ve only just been to Katra from this list but I’ve been suggesting to my family to do a trip to Meghalaya some time. This summer, we plan to do yet another family trip and I really wish we can all agree on Meghalaya this time! As you rightly put it, Indian family holidays can mean several generations at once and it isn’t always easy to find a vacation that suits everyone’s tastes. Pelling also looks lovely by the way!

I use to not imagine having summer vacations in India due to the extra hot summers there. But the places you’ve listed are something which are great to visit during summers to beat the heat (specially in southern part of India) . I would love to visit Maghalaya and Munnar if I ever come to India in summers. Thanks for recommending these places.

Oh both Meghalaya and Munnar beautiful in their own ways. Thanks for your comment.

This is another great list with vacation destinations in India! I visited Munar and Meghalaya but never heard about Pelling before. I’ll be visiting India again this summer and Pelling will definitely be on my list. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for a timely post as summer vacations have started in India and all these hill stations are very cool options to chill out with family. Munnar is top on my choice due to its lush green tea estates. I have never been to North-East and therefore I would love to visit Meghalaya as I always read beautiful things on it.

Thanks for this beautiful article. It contains a lot of useful information that will help travel enthusiasts out there during their voyaging.

Wow! Nice places to visit with family, Love the Himalaya.

Kasol looks absolutely stunning, I would love to visit.

So many fantastic places to see. I especially like the nature of India, Ladakh being my favourite from your list. Thanks for sharing @

The scenary in Ladakh is just unreal. It’s a great choice indeed.

So nice to see this list. I am planning to visit Kalimpong this summer, and I too chose that over Darjeeling.

Yes, Kalimpong is a really fun offbeat place.

What a great list of places to visit in the summer.

Taylor Swift’s Eras tour returns in London, with assist from Ed Sheeran, after foiled terror plot

LONDON (AP) — Taylor Swift’s history-making Eras Tour made a triumphant return, accompanied by Ed Sheeran, in London Thursday night.

He joined the headliner on stage at Wembley Stadium for the acoustic section, playing on two of their collaborations, “Everything Has Changed” and “Endgame,” before a burst of Sheeran’s hit “Thinking Out Loud.”

Swift teased the audience before his appearance, which lead to loud screaming from an audience that had already been energetically singing, dancing and doing heart hands throughout the show.

Sheeran’s appearance was one of the highlights of the finely-honed stage spectacular and musical celebration of Swift’s career to date.

It’s been tough few weeks for the singer and tour.

Heartbreak remains after the death of three young fans in Southport, northern England, who were killed by an attacker at their Swift themed dance class.

And fear followed the foiled plan to attack her concert venue in Austria, where police arrested three Islamic State-inspired extremists.

The August shows in Vienna were canceled, making Thursday’s Wembley concert the return of the Eras Tour to the stage. Neither were addressed on stage by Swift, who kicked things off with an “Oh hi London,” and admitted her “mind went blank” when she first greeted the crowd, which she likened to a “love system overload.”

She thanked the 92,000-strong audience for making the effort to attend, which had involved increased security measures.

Swift has four remaining dates at Wembley Stadium, which will make it a record breaking solo residency at the venue and round out the European leg of The Eras Tour.

It picks up again in Toronto in November.

The enthusiasm of Swift’s fans and a set list that includes more than 40 songs from all phases of her career have helped make the Eras Tour the biggest revenue earner of all time.

According to Pollstar, which collects data on the live music industry, it took more than $1 billion in ticket sales last year.

The tour is expected to push that record to more than $2 billion before it ends later this year in Indianapolis.

Pat Cummins has put the LA 2028 Olympics on his wishlist when cricket marks its return

There will be plenty of cricketers on the wrong side of 30 looking to hold on for the 2028 Olympics and the Australian Test captain is among them.

50-year snub leaves stadium’s future in doubt

A zoned-in focus on rest after going “non-stop for about two years” is crucial to Test captain Pat Cummins’ plan to get through all five matches against India this summer, but it’s the exact approach that could also help get him to the 2028 Olympics.

As he closed the door on any likelihood of playing Big Bash at the back end of this season, and said his workload would always be geared around playing as much Test cricket as possible, the 31-year-old said it would be “awesome” to play for Australia in four years’ time having soaked up the recent Games in Paris.

Cummins, whose birthday is in May, which would make him 35 when the LA Olympics come around, is moderating his workload for the now but started smiling when asked about potentially adding a gold medal to a cricketing resume that has every possible trophy already on it.

“That would be pretty awesome. After seeing Paris the last few weeks I’ve started to get pretty excited about potentially going,” he said in Sydney on Monday.

“It hasn’t really been on any or our radars. Four years away, anything can happen, you never quite know.

“But that would be awesome to represent Australia in the middle of an Olympics, it’s something special.”

Cummins is skipping an upcoming white-ball tour of the UK as part of a pre-planned resting period in what has been a rare long stint without having played any Tests.

His last effort in a baggy green was in New Zealand in March, and he doesn’t expect to bowl a ball in a game until turning out for NSW, more likely in a one-day game, before playing a November ODI series against Pakistan.

He defended a decision to go and play in the Major League Cricket T20 competition in the US during his “break”, adamant the short, seven-match outing didn’t impact his plans.

But he reiterated his priority would always be representing Australia, and playing Test cricket, which is why he’s set to “smash out” sone gym work over the next month before getting his bowling reps going again.

“This was an interesting year in terms of the gap leading into the summer and so the break was pre-planned,” he said.

“The MLC popped up late and when we were working through the schedule it didn’t change any of the prep leading into the summer. It was a nice little gap which isn’t always going to be the case, and there will be other years where international cricket clashes and that takes priority.

“That was the reason behind the break. There aren’t many breaks in the calendar unless you kind of manufacture one, so medical staff, coaches and everyone thought it was a good opportunity to have a month off bowling for my body and then build up, hopefully be in as good a position as I can be for five Tests.”

That workload, and a Sri Lankan Test series in February, rules out any chance of Cummins playing in the BBL for the Sydney Thunder and could preclude any of his Test teammates also turning out despite officials being hopeful they could be a presence at the back-end of the tournament.

“I think it’s going to be tough,” he said.

“We’ve go the five Tests then straight into the Sri Lanka tour, about a week-and-a-half after the last Test we’ll fly off, so I think it might be tough.”

Why white ball internationals are irrelevant as Cummins eyes India Tests

C aptain Pat Cummins will prioritise this summer’s Test series against India by skipping Australia’s September short form tour of the UK, having spent much of the past four months playing in overseas Twenty20 leagues.

The old club versus country argument is now redundant when it comes to senior players, with Test cricket, World Cups and big-money IPL stints the clear priorities.

While Cummins will spend the next month in the gym preparing for the five-Test series against India, Australia’s women’s captain Alyssa Healy will be preparing for the Twenty20 World Cup – though where the tournament will be held remains to be seen.

The International Cricket Council is expected to take the decision to move the tournament away from strife-torn Bangladesh at a meeting on Tuesday night.

Anti-government protests flared in Dhaka during July, with hundreds killed and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina forced to flee the country after a 15-year rule.

“I’d find it really hard to see a cricket event going on over there at the moment, and taking resources away from a country that is really struggling,” Healy said on Monday.

“They’re needing everyone that they can possibly get helping people that are dying. I’d find it hard to fathom playing there at the moment. I’d feel, as a human being, it might be the wrong thing to do. But I’ll leave that for the ICC to work out.”

Having played non-stop for most of the last 11 months, including a stint in America’s new Major League Cricket competition, Cummins is going nowhere, with a break scheduled before Australia’s bid to register a first Test series victory over India in a decade.

Australia are due to leave later this month for a tour of Scotland and England, taking in six T20 and five one-day matches.

“This is an interesting year in that this gap leading into the summer was always pre-planned,” Cummins said as he and Healy launched Play Cricket Week in Sydney on Monday, encouraging children to take up the sport.

“The MLC popped up late. Talking through the schedules, it didn’t really change any of the prep leading into the summer. It was a nice little gap, which isn’t always going to be the case in other seasons where international cricket clashes, and that takes priority.

“There aren’t many breaks in the calendar unless you manufacture one. The medical staff and coaches and everyone thought this is a good opportunity to have a month or so off bowling for my body, and then build up and hopefully be in as good a position as possible for the five Tests.”

Cummins was wearing Sydney Thunder colours for Monday’s promotion, but played the last of his 22 Big Bash games more than five years ago. He doubts that will change this season.

“I think it’s going to be tough,” Cummins said about the likelihood of his turning out for the Thunder. “We’ve got five Tests then go straight to Sri Lanka basically a week or so after the last Test.”

Cummins’ marathon playing stint began last September with a one-day series in India leading into the one-day World Cup, which finished on November 19.

He was in Perth three weeks later preparing for a five-Test home summer followed by two Tests in New Zealand, 16 matches in the IPL, six in T20 World Cup and six in the MLC.

Cummins went for a record $3.67 million to Sunrisers Hyderabad is last December’s IPL auction, captaining them to the final. The record was smashed a couple of hours later when his long-time NSW and Australian teammate Mitchell Starc went to Kolkata Knight Riders for $4.43 million, The Knight Riders beat the Sunrisers in the final on May 26.

Australia captain Pat Cummins to go on eight-week break ahead of marquee Test series against India

Pacer Cummins had recently returned from USA where he had participated in the second season of Major League Cricket (MLC) and has been rested for next month’s white-ball tour of the United Kingdom. read more

Australia Test and ODI captain Pat Cummins has decided to take an eight-week break in order to keep himself fresh for the marquee five-Test series against India that gets underway in November.

Pacer Cummins had recently returned from USA where he had participated in the second season of Major League Cricket (MLC) and has been rested for next month’s white-ball tour of the United Kingdom, with the team management looking to manage his workload ahead of a busy home summer.

“Everyone that comes back after a break is a little bit fresher, you never regret it,” Cummins was quoted as saying by Fox Sports .

“I’ve basically been bowling non-stop since the World Test Championship final, nearly 18 months ago. This gives me a good seven or eight weeks completely off bowling so the body can recover, then you start building up again for the summer.

“It means you can hopefully bowl for a little bit longer, maintaining pace is a bit easier, makes you less susceptible to injuries,” he added.

Cummins had a busy last 12 months after fracturing his wrist towards the end of the Ashes campaign in England.

He played in an ODI series against India, the triumphant ODI World Cup campaign, three Tests against Pakistan, two Tests against the West Indies, a T20 tour of New Zealand, two Tests against New Zealand, the Indian Premier League, the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the MLC tournament.

“I’m very sore today after a week of gym. Hamstrings, even ankles, kind of build up over months of bowling, but you can’t really nail it while you’re in the midst of the season,” the 31-year-old said.

“I’ll be doing lots of gym, some running, a lot of rehab exercise that you just can’t really fit in the middle of the season.”

This year’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be a five-Test contest. Since 2017, Australia has failed to lay its hands on the trophy, with India winning four consecutive series including the historic triumphs on Australian soil in 2018-19 and 2020-21.

And, Cummins is desperate to lift the trophy this summer under his captaincy.

“It’s the trophy I haven’t won before… this is the one trophy a lot of our group haven’t ticked off,” Cummins said.

“We’ve achieved some amazing things over the last few years as a Test group. You kind of back yourself to win every series at home. I think you need to try and be up there in the upper echelon of teams.

“That’s what lies ahead of us this summer. They’re (India) a really good side. We play them quite a lot, we know them really well, but we feel like we’re really well placed also,” he added.

Meanwhile, Cummins is in no mood to quit T20 cricket as of now, and hopes to help Australia win the gold medal at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where cricket will make its debut at the quadrennial showpiece.

“Watching the Olympics, it got us all excited. You want to be part of it right there in the middle,” Cummins said.

“I’d love to be on that side (at LA28). I think I’ll be 35 or something, so hopefully still there or thereabouts.

“Honestly right now, it feels a long way away. Maybe once we get closer and start building into it, everyone gets a bit more excited,” he said.
