Hello Sugandha I will be happy to answer your travel query .
* since you are planning for a trip on last week of August , I will prefer you Mahabaleshwar . Mahabaleshwar is famous for rivers, waterfalls, ancient temples, stunning cascades,dense tropical forests, majestic peaks ,valleys and windy roads and this view just looks so dreamy in monsoon .Coorg is famous for coffee plantations ,step hills, countless streams,rice flora and fauna , lush forests and breathtaking views .it's not preferred in monsoons ,winters are the best time for this place whereas Kodaikanal is popular for hills ,also reffered as princess of hills , amazing hills and one flower which blooms once in 12 years ,it's a winter travel destination . Comparing all the three places , I would suggest you to explore Mahabaleshwar .Main thing is mountain views so better book a hotel with great view . I have a little advice for you, I just checked online and found that there are great deals available on tripoto itself,here is the link https://www.tripoto.com/mahabaleshwar/tour-packages

Hi Sugandha, all three are excellent options for end of August. How long is your vacation? And, where will you be going from? Do you prefer flying, travel by road or train to reach any of the three?

Hi, yes July is actually a very good time to go to Spiti. Weather is pleasant and roads to all the main destinations are open. I recommend you go via Manali rather than Shimla. Because the Shimla-Spiti route passes through Kinnaur which sees decent rainfall. Landslides due to the rainfall could result in shutdown of roads causing delays. Manali-Kaza highway doesn't see much rainfall thus is the better option.

You can either take an overnight train from Bangalore to Shimoga or hire a self-drive vehicle and embark on an epic road trip. After reaching Shimoga, head to the mighty Jog Falls. After Jog Falls, visit the scenic hamlet of Honnemaradu located on the shores of Golden Lake. On the second day you can visit the Sakrebyle Elephant Camp and Gajanur Dam before heading back to Bangalore.

Hi
Yes in October and November the temperature drops drastically and it is too windy. Most of the camps get closed in October and only few hotels are working. So its better to plan your trip from in July or August.
The few things you have to do in Ladakh are:
Trekking
Rafting
visiting beautiful lakes
Ancient Monasteries
Riding or driving to highest motarable roads.
Best photographic sceneries.

Hi Manish, some of the popular hill stations near Delhi are Bir-Billing, Kasol, Dharamkot and Khajjiar. If you want to go to slightly off-the-beaten-path hill stations then the options are Kausani, Naukuchiatal, Gushaini and Parwanoo. You can also refer to the attached article for more hill station options near Delhi.

You can hire a taxi in Manali to take you to Chandratal which is about 120km (3 hours and 30 minutes) from Manali. You can spend the night in one of the tents near Chandratal or return to Manali the same day. If you do plan to return to Manali the same day then make sure you start early in the morning. If you do plan to stay in one of the tents near the lake then make reservations in advance. Reservations can be made online or by calling one of the campsites. If you have your own tent then you can pitch it around one of the campsites.

Hi Summi! It's good if you can tag with a local. If not then be cautious like avoid going to secluded places or roaming during night hours.
UpvoteCommentHi Summi, there are plenty of trekking options in Mizoram. The only issue is that the trails aren't marked at all. Therefore, it is best to trek with local guides. Besides getting lost, there are no other safety hazards in Mizo hills. The most popular trek in Mizoram is the Phawngpui Peak Trek. The trek takes place within Phawngpui National Park which is home to Tigers, Sambar Deer, Hoolock Gibbon, Barking Deer, Bear and many species of birds.

UpvoteCommentHi Kavya! Summer is considered the best time to visit Himachal Pradesh starting from March to June. You can participate in various activities such as camping, trekking, paragliding and water sports during this time. The weather is pleasant and soothing. To witness snow and extreme cold, you may consider going in winters too. And Yes you've heard right that in Monsoon generally it's not recommended as few destination also face landslides.

UpvoteCommentHi Kavya, the best time to visit Himachal Pradesh is during the summer from March to June. Temperature during these months ranges from 22-37 Celsius. This is the peak tourist season so you may encounter hordes of tourists at popular places. If you want to avoid the crowds then visit in September-October. July and August is monsoon in Himachal and you may face torrential rains and landslides causing delays. It is best to avoid these two months.

Hi Saurabh, since you will be crossing over from Italy, it is better to start in Lucerne. Spend a day there before moving on to Zurich. Spend a couple of days in Zurich visiting Lake Zurich, Grossmu?nster cathedral and the lively bar scene. From Zurich, make your way to Basel. Spend a day in Basel checking out museums, little churches, and the regular markets. From there, head to Bern for a day of exploring UNESCO-listed old town. Spend the next two days in Lausanne and Geneva to experience prime Alps scenery.
