Mountains and hills are mind-boggling serene locations to go for tranquillity and live in restful surroundings. Waking up to the panoramic views, snow-covered slopes and admiring lush greenery are the beautiful offerings that a hillock would have for you in-store. Have a picnic on the picturesque cliff watching the sunset and surrender yourself to nature; indulge in activities like trekking, camping and river rafting to rejuvenate yourself. Come back home with a refreshed mind to get back to your daily routine.
If you are on a budget but still want to have the best of both worlds, then a travel within your country is the best option to opt for this holiday season. A true traveller does not bother about all things fancy, bright and shiny; they are only in for it for experiences. India is a country oozing with good looks, good foods and good vibes. Ranging from colourful landscapes and breathtaking sights to hospitality and mouthwatering delicacies, India is a perfect destination for any travel plan. With so many regional and ancient art forms, India will never disappoint the impulsive shopper inside you.
August is the time for you to check out that holiday list on your calendar and plan a getaway from the mundane ‘stuck-up-in-the-traffic’ life. If work is hectic and you cannot plan a long vacation, look for staycations, weekend getaways or short trips that can keep you sane.
Leather jackets, thermals, gloves, leg warmers, socks, comfortable walking shoes, lip balm/sunscreen/lotion, wind-cheaters, sweaters/pullovers, mufflers, woollen socks, earmuffs, backpack, umbrella, camera and most importantly a first-aid kit are the best things to pack whilst travelling to the hills.
India's top tourist destinations are Goa, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Rajasthan, South India, Himachal Pradesh, Andaman, Kashmir and North East. The best Indian cities for tourists are Manali, Dharamshala, Darjeeling, Shillong, Srinagar, Gulmarg, Munnar, Thekkady, Dalhousie, Kasauli, Ooty, Udaipur, Allepey, Corbett, etc.
Apart from the pleasant rain showers, August offers excellent travel discounts, fantastic weather, lovely views and lesser crowds.
