INDIAN SUMMER SPECIALS 2009
Although for many the summer is not considered the best time to travel to the Indian Subcontinent, year after year more travellers are visiting the region over these months. For many this is the most convenient time to travel, it is the summer holidays and one of the few times families can have extended time together. Here are a few more reasons to consider a trip to India this summer:
- Hotels reduce their prices – Thanks to the Taj Hotels and Oberoi Resorts special summer packages it is now possible to stay in the most luxurious hotels for an excellent price. India over the summer is good value and affordable.
- Less tourists – In general terms, there are definitely fewer western travellers in India over the summer months. In smaller places you may be one of only a handful of tourists and even in the more popular destinations you will avoid the bustle of high season. This is a unique opportunity to witness the real India.
- The weather – Because of the monsoon from June to September the landscapes are stunning, fresh and green. In fact the monsoon, as with all weather, can be inconsistent and it normally rains in the evening or during the night when you are to be least affected. Although at times the days may be overcast there is every chance that they could also be clear if you are fortunate.
