FAQ's

Go for Cooler Climes: Some parts of India get much hotter than others during summer. It is important to pick the right destination. Mountains and wildlife sanctuaries are some of the best choices.

Clothing: Opt for cotton or linen clothes that fit loosely and comfortably. Accessorise with hats, sunglasses and umbrellas.

Wear a Sunscreen: It is a must to wear sunscreen while travelling in India during summer. Even if you are exploring the mountains, the thin air will guarantee that you get the hot blaze of sunlight.

Hydration: Carry bottled water with you at all times. Summer is the time for some of India's best fruits, and several vendors and stores offer chilled traditional drinks, juices and other beverages that you can relish.

Carry an umbrella: Monsoon showers in India can be unpredictable and sudden, so carry an umbrella/ raincoat with you at all times.

Synthetic Clothes: Pack more synthetic clothes for your vacation, as they tend to dry faster than cotton.
Check the weather forecast: Always check the weather forecast of your destination before finalising it.

Cover your phones: Make sure that all your electronic and money are covered in water-proof bags.

Footwear: Opt for sandals and floaters rather than leather as the latter may get ruined in the rain.

Thermals and Sweaters: It can get pretty cold in India, especially in the northern frontiers, so make sure you carry your thermals and sweaters.

Jackets: Jackets are a great choice as they add a layer of insulation to your sweaters.

Woollen gloves and socks: Don't forget your gloves and socks if you are planning to travel to the mountains.
