Manali, Himachal Pradesh
Manali never fails to make it to any list about beating the heat of May. Forever charming, this place never fails to make you go awestruck. Thick forests and cool breeze characterize the hill station. Major attractions include Hadimba Temple, Vashisth, monastries, Solang Valley, Rohtang Pass and Club House.
Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh
Tawang‘s beauty reaches out to your soul. With Tibet to its northern side, Sela range of West Kameng to the east, and Bhutan to the southwest, Tawang is beautifully located. Breathtaking valleys, amazing waterfalls and misty rivers add to the charm. Tawang Monastery, Sela Pass, Shonga-tser Lake, Nuranang waterfalls and Bumla Pass are places that deserve a visit in May in India, when in Tawang.
Ooty
Ooty is one of the very famous hill stations of India, in the Nilgiris. Coffee and tea plantations, numerous gardens and the Ooty Lake are good places to visit in May in India. The marvellous views of the mountains are the best part of this trip.
Horsley Hills, Andhra Pradesh
One of the most scenic places in the state, the hills provide a good break from the town and its heat. With plenty of time and ways to be with nature, Horsley Hills are a paradise. The way to the hills is panoramic too, with Mahogany, Jacaranda, Sandalwood, Gulmohar and Eucalyptus trees lining the road.
Shillong – Cherrapunjee
The beautiful mountains of this region are a joy to watch. There are coal mines that can be spotted, legal and illegal, while you travel to Cherrapunjee from Shillong. Shillong in itself, is a really beautiful town, the capital of Meghalaya as well. It is perhaps the only place in India where taxi drivers themselves sit on someone’s lap and drive. Here, even the traditional societal roles of a man and woman are reversed, with women doing most of the business.
