Summer is here…

March 1, 2007

A few busy weeks have kept me from updating this space as frequently as I used to. Hopefully busy days are past and I am back to spending more time writing on this blog.

Here in Bangalore, summer seems to have suddenly attacked us since the beginning of this week, and sun has been growing stronger by the day. It would be a matter of a few more weeks before northern parts of the country also start getting warmer.

Summer is definitely not the time of the year for travel, at least in the plains of India. But our vast country has always something to offer, and this is the right time to be in the mountains and hill stations. People in the north have options in plenty, with the mighty Himalayas spreading all over north of Delhi. Summer is also a good time for sighting wildlife in North India although weather can be hot in the National Parks. Personally, I have some time off this summer and hope to spend some time in Arunachal Pradesh, and may be a high altitude trek somewhere in Himachal. There is a temptation to get to Sikkim too and that depends on availability of time.

If you are wondering where to go this summer, here are some of the places you can read about in India Travel Blog, suitable for a summer holiday.

NORTH
* Gochela in Sikkim – high altitude trek
* North Sikkim – Driving to Yumthang Valley and Gurudongmar
* Auli, Uttaranchal
* Corbett National Park
* Rajaji National Park

SOUTH
* Coorg
* Munnar, Ooty and Kodaikanal
* Periyar Tiger Reserve

What are your travel plans for this summer?

Thanks for the detailed suggestions Arun! I’m heading out for a month in Mar and probably a couple more in June after living in Chennai for a bit. Always good to get enthusiastic suggestions and especially those from people who like to trek.

Love your blog.

Cheers!
McKay

Thank you McKay. Ladakh would be another great option for June(It will be inaccessible in March).
