Top Travel Tips for Summer in India

[K Sowjanya]

India’s summer can be intense. The heat soars, but so do travel opportunities. Plan well for a smooth trip.

Choose the Right Destination
Pick cooler places like Himachal, Uttarakhand, or the Northeast. Hill stations offer relief from the heat. If you prefer beaches, visit Goa or Kerala. Explore Travel Diary summer destinations for the best picks.

Pack Smart
Light cotton clothes are best. Carry sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen. Stay hydrated with a refillable water bottle. Keep wet wipes and hand sanitizers handy.

Travel at the Right Time
Early mornings and late evenings are ideal for sightseeing. Avoid stepping out during peak afternoon hours. Use AC buses or trains for comfort.

Stay Hydrated & Eat Wisely
Drink plenty of water. Coconut water and fresh juices help beat the heat. Avoid street food to prevent stomach issues. Stick to light meals.



Book in Advance
Summer is a peak travel season. Flights and hotels fill up fast. Book early to get the best deals. If traveling from BNA to HYD, check flights in advance.

Use Public Transport
Metro trains, buses, and taxis are convenient. Ride-sharing apps are available in most cities. Avoid overcrowded transport during rush hours.

Respect Local Culture
Dress modestly, especially in religious sites. Learn basic local phrases to communicate easily. Follow local customs for a pleasant experience.

Plan wisely, stay safe, and enjoy your summer adventure in India!

India’s summer can be intense, but with the right planning, it’s definitely manageable. I second the hill station recommendation. Shimla and Darjeeling were lifesavers for me last summer. Also, coconut water is a game-changer in that heat!

Speaking of staying hydrated, I’m stocking up on water bottles from https://bottledevents.com/ for my trip to India. It’s super important to have a reliable water source, especially in the summer heat. Have you traveled to the Northeast? I’ve been thinking about Meghalaya for my next trip.
