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.
October is the time when the world is gearing up for the festivities and you are looking for options to make your festival season all the more fun. So, why not go off-beat with a trip to some isolated island or mountains to feel the freshness of the approaching winters (or summers, depending on the hemisphere).
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.
Most of the Indian cities experience pleasant weather in October. Autumn is at its peak this month. As a result, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. October is also the month of festivities. All these make the season apt for planning your vacation. Tourist destinations like Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Indore, Bhopal, Sanchi, Nainital, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Shimla, Manali and Kasol are the top places to visit in October.
Manali, Gulmarg, Shimla, Nainital, Kasol, Srinagar, Kodaikanalar, Mussoorie, McLeodganj, Chopta, Kalimpong, Pelling, Shillong, Mahabaleshwar and Munnar are undoubtedly the best destinations for you to add on your bucket list to discover hills.
