Depends on your preference, which side or which terrain you would want to explore. Usually people would plan for hilly areas to escape from heat. So Kashmir, Leh Ladakh, Manali, Shimla, Mussorie, become the favourite tourist locations. However if you wont mind heat than you can visit places like Goa, Pondicherry, Kerala, Rajasthan where you can get luxury hotels at relatively cheaper price due to off season.
