A great island to explore is the Isle of Mull. You can even stay on this beautiful island in hostels provided by the government. We can safely say that the number of the islands is uncountable.

Enjoy The Great Indian Summer with Summer Travel Tips .......

Top 8 Summer Travel Tips are as under.....

1) Shades, caps and sunscreen:

I don’t even have to emphasise the need for these accessories. Just a few pointers here:

a) Needless to say, the sun-glasses should be 100% UV protected. Of course, there’s a plethora of fancy brands available for the fashion conscious.

b) Avoid tight baseball caps as the heat will give way to a sweaty scalp and what does sweaty scalp cause? Dandruff! Instead, try the general cowboy hats that are light on the head and airy too.

c) Many among us are not in the habit of using sunscreen lotion. Even I wasn’t. In fact I still hate it but it is a must, like a bad medicine. Else not only will you come back home a thousand shades darker (this means a lot in a country obsessed with fairness creams) but constant exposure of the skin to direct and harsh sunlight also causes skin cancer. Other than that, you may also experience sunburn and rapid ageing of the skin. Also the sun screen lotion needs to be applied at least 45 minutes before you step out into the sun and the ritual needs to be repeated every 3 hrs. I hate this but it really helps.

2) Clothes

There is only one answer to India’s summer woes when it comes to what one should wear – Cotton. And preferably light coloured with full sleeves. Here’s one more advice: Avoid technical fabrics like polyester, lycra, nylon and the dry-fit ones that promise to keep you dry. They might work in controlled environments like an air conditioned mall but when you’re out there in the sun, they’re some of the most uncomfortable fabrics that you can wear. Stick to lightweight cotton, period.

3)Indigenous advice: Carry a Gamucha!!

Yes, your read that right. The Gamucha is a thin towel used generally in the eastern parts of India i.e. Bihar, Jharkhand, U.P and Bengal. But it’s the most wonderful piece of garment that you can carry on your travels. The best part about the gamucha is that it dries within minutes after getting wet and is easy to store and carry anywhere you go. The gamucha can double as your scarf if you wish to cover your face and a thousand times better than those wet tissues that end up making the skin sticky. The best part is that it dries in about 20-30minutes flat after a wash. Go for it!

4) Travel in AC buses whenever you can

The air-conditioner is no more a luxury at least in urban India. Most luxury buses these days are air-conditioned  and from what I have noticed from my travels is that people are now willing to pay more for their bus tickets if they’re promised a comfortable ride. Travelling in AC buses not only preserves your energy but makes the journey all the more pleasant.

5) Travel early or late

There is a reason why the tickets of early morning and late night buses are priced higher than those that are scheduled for later in the day. That’s because people prefer to travel early mornings or late evenings to avoid the piping hot Sun. You should do that too.

6) Carry medicines to treat an upset tummy

One of the worst things about travel in India is the unreliable quality of water. Forget the foreign tourists even us natives are at times caught off guard and struggle with bouts of dysentery once in a while. And the quality of water only worsens in the summers. Keep a few tabs of your trusted medicine like I keep a strip of Enteroquinol always with me.

7) Rehydrate: Binge on the sherbets and lassi

While the sun may dissuade us at every passing hour on hot summer days, the long season comes with its own share of delights.  I’m particularly fond of the Lassi and always keep an eye for quality lassi counters wherever I go. For example, Kailash Lassi is one joint where I make it a point to stop by whenever I have to catch a bus to Pune or somewhere else from Dadar East. Among sherbets, you’ll find the ubiquitous nimbu-paani wallah everywhere. Just ensure that the quality of water is up to the mark. Some even use Bisleri bottles! Also don’t forget sipping water all the time. This keeps you cool.

8) Spend your evenings outdoors

The summer evenings in India have a charm of its own. Don’t stay put in your hotel and instead step out for a walk. There is bound to be a garden nearby or just a lonely road somewhere. Walk, sit, ruminate or just admire the light and feel of the environment at dusk. Once in awhile it’s ok!!!
