Summer Travel destinations in India

Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh: Coolest India travel during summer

When you think of Himachal Pradesh it’s the Shimla-Manali route that comes to your mind! Think beyond that and explore the unexplored Spiti valley. Spiti valley is a cold desert located in the laps of the Himalayas. The rugged mountains, snow-clad peaks, quaint villages, beautiful sunrises, and even more surreal sunsets make Spiti Valley the most sought after destination in India. You can plan camping here and stay in tents gazing at the beautiful stars at night.

Get divine experience at the monasteries. The stay in this quiet and laid back location will surely make your Holiday the best! And what’s the travel route you say? You can either reach Spiti valley from Shimla – Kinnaur route which is open throughout the year or take the Manali – Rohtang route which is open from June to September. The snow from the Himalayas comes down in the valley, making it accessible by road only for 6 months. Hence, don’t miss the chance to visit it in summer when it’s the best time to visit the valley!

Tirthan Valley, Himachal Pradesh:

Another unexplored destination is the Tirthan valley in Himachal Pradesh. The pine forests, apple orchards, picture-perfect villages, hanging bridges, and hidden waterfalls make this a really beautiful destination. Tirthan Valley is the gateway to the UNESCO world heritage site, the Great Himalayan National Park. Visit Jalori’s viewpoint to get a 360-degree view of the great Himalayas and the Kullu valley.

Mount Abu, Rajasthan: Traditional India travel during summer

Visit the only hill station in Rajasthan and get enchanted by its beauty. Mount Abu reminds me of our very own Mahabaleshwar. Mount Abu has three very beautiful spots.

The Guru Shikhar which is the highest point in Mount Abu has beautiful views and is also supposed to be a jagrut place of Sri Dutta Guru.

The Third is the Brahmakumari’s peace park which is so beautiful and full of lovely plants and flowers. You would really get some peace of mind here. Spend some time in the evening boat at Nakki Lake and do some street shopping nearby to take a few cool souvenirs back home.
