As the scorching summer heat settles across the Indian subcontinent, many seek refuge in cooler destinations to escape the sweltering temperatures but while popular hill stations offer respite, there are numerous offbeat places in India that provide a unique and refreshing experience. Embark on a journey to these lesser-known gems, where you can beat the heat while immersing yourself in captivating landscapes, tranquil surroundings and cultural richness.
Let's explore some offbeat destinations in India that promise a cool and memorable summer getaway. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Deep Banka, Chief Operating Officer at Zostel, shared, “Summers pose multiple options when it comes to choosing travel destinations within India and mountains are invariably one of the most favored options. Over the last couple of years, we have observed that travelers are increasingly opting for offbeat destinations, especially due to the serenity and lower tourism density at these locations. Moreover, it is important to consider that offbeat locations are far more conducive to 'beat the heat' kind of travel plans as they are nestled away from the pollution woes of popular hilly cities and towns. In fact, over the last two quarters, we have noticed that 25-30% of inbound inquiries we have received for properties that are located in offbeat locations which reflects a significant uptick from 3-4 years ago.”
