temporary respite from the onslaught of summer. With the Himalayas in the North and the
western and eastern ghats in the South, along with a massive coastline, there are several
places where one can enjoy the immense beauty of nature while also taking a break from
summer. Here we bring you a list of some of these destinations.

Perfect summer break destinations in India : So let’s start with the list

Ladakh

Located in India’s Himalayan crown, Ladakh is a place of pristine beauty that defies the description. Its relatively untouched beauty makes it the first and one of our favourite tourist spots for a summer vacation. We recommend taking a ride on a double humped Bactrian camel.

Nainital

Nainital is another incredible tourist destination for a summer vacation. One can spend some time enjoying the panoramic vistas of the Himalayas here or visit the world-famous Corbett National Park in the hope of tiger spotting.

Darjeeling 

Moving toward the northeast, Darjeeling is another excellent tourist destination. Located in West Bengal, the town is known for its plantations and pristine hills. Wildlife enthusiasts are also recommended to visit Naidu Zoological Park

Goa

Of course, this list won’t be complete without the tourist capital of India, Goa. The state attracts tourists both locally and internationally. And what better respite from excruciating summer than an evening spent at those pristine beaches or night parties that go into the small hours.

Ooty

The allure of the Queen of Hill Stations, Ooty, is even more enchanting in summers. The Tamil Nadu hill destination remains a tempting summer destination for those who would like to spend a weekend on rolling hills around tea gardens and lush green woods.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

If the beaches of Goa are too crowded for one’s liking, one always heads to Andaman and Nicobar Islands for a summer vacation. The breathtaking beauty of islands is the stuff legends are made of and offer a welcome relief in summer.

The yoga capital of India, Rishikesh, is another excellent tourist destination for a summer vacation. Located in the cradle of the Himalayas, Rishikesh offers spirituality, well-being, adventure, the limitless bounty of natural beauty, all in one place. We recommend trying bungee jumping.
