Importance Of Summer And Best Places To Visit During Summer

The very image that comes flashing to our mind when we think about the word “Summer Vacation” is the streams of sunlight, blue skies, and cheery eyes. Summer has always denoted something happy even though the fact remains that Summers in India is for most parts rather harsh. Temperature goes soaring through the skies as bodies literally melt while we work during summer.

The reason why summer conjures up happy memories is that it is commonly the time of extended school breaks. This allows the kids to go on pleasure trips with their parents or visit their grandparents or simply play a lot in their neighborhood with other kids. It is the time when we as kids are able to enjoy ourselves without the burden of any school assignments or homework and exams. This is why the Summer holidays are important. It's the time of our life when we relieve ourselves of the worldly burdens, albeit temporarily at least. The spirit of summer holidays thus grows with us as we move along in life. Summer is when the mind expands and relaxes, it is when the body is not restricted to woolen clothes and frost. So it is important for people to make the best use of that time to relax and enjoy it.

In many foreign countries, especially the ones in the northern hemisphere, the summer also represents the best climate of the entire year. There is no need to wear uncomfortable winter clothing, there is no frostbite or need for indoor heating. Summer is when the rivers and seas are clear of frost and best for swimming. Westerners flock to the seas and beaches or visit the valley and meadows during summer. British in particular are big in celebrating the culture of Summer Holidaying because their country is particularly pleasant in the summer. Northern France, Scandinavian Countries, Canada particularly Quebec, are all popular destinations for western travelers. In the US, the New England region is known for its lush locales and greenery and during summer it has a nice climate.

In India, the summers are known for its harsh climate conditions. Temperatures can go soaring, even beyond 40 degree celsius in some places. What this means is that people are looking for cooler places to visit during the summer or ways to beat the heat. Some of the popular holiday destinations for summers are the hill stations in Himalayas or in one of the many other mountain ranges in India. Hill Stations in South India particularly in the Wester Ghats in Tamil Nadu and Kerala have proven to be very popular in recent years. Destinations like Niligirs, Kodaikanal and Yercaud in Tamil Nadu now attract a lot of holidayers, these destinations were actually first developed by the British Colonists. They realized that these regions had a climate and feel similar to their own Home in Britain. In Kerala, places like Munnar, Vagamon, Wayanad entice nature lovers to visit it. Himalaya Destinations include Darjeeling, Shimla, Roopkund, Dehradun, Landour, etc. Summer is a bad time to visit other popular North Indian destinations like Delhi and the rest of Gangetic Plains and Western India like Rajasthan. North East India is another good option for Summer travelers because the climate there can be milder compared to the rest of India in Summer.
