The first that comes to my mind when it comes to “summer holidays” or “summer vacations” is to travel. India is pretty privileged in terms of the variety of options that it tends to offer to travellers. It often also becomes really tough to choose “one perfect summer destination” as there are more than 1000 options to choose from, each better than the other.
However, down below is a list of top summer destinations that you should definitely keep in mind if you are planning to travel to India during the summer months:
1. Ladakh
Despite the destination’s harsh weather conditions, Ladakh remains to be one of the favorite summer destinations of all the travellers. The surrounding view of the beautiful snow-capped Karakoram peaks along with its mountain passes, beautiful lakes, beautiful old Buddhist monasteries, and colorful Tibet culture makes Ladakh one of the best destinations in India. This destination offers a variety of opportunities for adventure-seeking travellers too.
Speaking of a perfect mountain biking trip? Well, Ladakh is home to the highest motorable passes in India, “Kharadungla” where you could indulge yourself in a wonderful and thrilling motorbiking adventure. Apart from that, it’s surely a bliss to go on for a white water rafting adventure in the famous rivers of Indus or Zanskar.
