From Manali to Munnar, 8 places to give a miss this time of the year

Manali One of the most overcrowded places during summer, Manali is an attraction due to its scenic beauty. It also has arenas for adventure sports. Give the place a miss to explore the Solang Valley nearby.

Varanasi The ghats of Varanasi attract tourists, especially during the holiday months. One can visit the ghats at dawn to skip the crowd. 

Shimla The colonial town that boasts of picturesque landscapes is often swamped with tourists this time of the year. The limited accommodation and sky-high prices can be a put-off for many. 

Jaipur The Pink City provides one of the best cultural experiences. But it can turn extremely busy during the summer. 

Haridwar This sacred city on the banks of the Ganga provides inner peace and solitude to people. But this is not a good time to visit.

Munnar Located in the lush green hills of Kerala, Munnar sees heavy tourist footfall in summer. Consider visiting lesser-explored destinations like Vagamon for a quieter getaway. 

Agra Home to the iconic Taj Mahal, this place is for romantics and history enthusiasts. However, a visit during the summer season can be unpleasant. The marble structure absorbs heat, making it too hot to explore during the day.

Nainital This place offers a cool climate during the summer but can be packed. Overcrowding can lead to sky-high hotel prices. It is best to give this place a miss and head to nearby places like Landour and Mussoorie.
