Hill Stations

A general rule to beat the heat in April is visiting places in the hills as the spring allows for gorgeous blooms in the mountains while the snow-clad peaks offer cool, calming breezes to brush through. As the weather is ideal for thrilling activities like river rafting, paragliding, trekking and hiking, hill stations like Shimla, Manali, Sikkim, Ooty, Kashmir, Coorg, and so on are popular tourist destinations during this time.

The tea and coffee plantations of Darjeeling and Coorg are some of the top sightseeing in the state. They are especially picturesque with the misty environment and lush green hills. You can even take several amazing guided tours to learn about the process.

Beaches

If you are thinking of going to the coastal places of India, then you are on the right track. A beach vacation in Pondicherry, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka is perfect for April. The beaches of Goa and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are great if you want to be one with marine life and try out scuba diving and snorkelling.

For surfing, you can head down to Varkala, famous for its numerous surfing schools and resorts. Relax in the backwaters of Kerala or paraglide in Goa. Staying near the water is a sensible choice.

Desert

If you want to visit the deserts of India before the soaring temperatures make it impossible to, April is a month when you can plan travelling to Rajasthan. Explore the top sightseeing in Rajasthan and witness the history of this state which is abundant in palaces, forts, and museums in Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur.
