Six Destinations in India That are Perfect for August Trip

August is here, so am I! While some might prefer to stay indoors, I'm all about embracing the rain and exploring new places. However, I am not good at navigating amidst the throng of tourists trying to get a glimpse of whatever is standing in front of me. So, I am planning to visit some of the off beaten paths in India, where there will be people but no crowd so that I can enjoy the place and keep my sanity with myself. Have a look at my itinerary! And feel free to steal some! 

Valley of Flowers

This is a floral fantasy in Uttarakhand. Imagine trekking through a carpet of vibrant wildflowers, surrounded by snow-capped peaks. That’s the magic of the Valley of Flowers. I’ve always been captivated by pictures of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, and August, with its blooming meadows, seems like the perfect time to visit. I can just picture myself hiking through the lush greenery, camera in hand, capturing the breathtaking scenery.

Lahaul Spiti

Ladies and gentlemen, and fellow solitude lovers, I present to you Lahaul Spiti. Rugged mountains, crystal-clear rivers, and ancient monasteries create a mystical atmosphere. I’m drawn to the idea of exploring remote villages, interacting with locals, and experiencing the thrill of high-altitude trekking. Plus, the monsoon brings a unique charm to this region, with cascading waterfalls and lush valleys.

Agumbe

Agumbe, often called the 'Cherrapunji of the South.' I don’t think you might need any more reason to visit this place, but I am still going to talk about it. I'm fascinated by the lush rainforests, diverse wildlife, and the enchanting waterfalls. It’s the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. I can imagine myself staying in a cozy homestay, sipping on filter coffee, and exploring the surrounding hills.

Bikaner

For a complete change of pace, I’m planning a trip to Bikaner. The golden city’s majestic forts, vibrant bazaars, and rich history intrigue me. I'm looking forward to exploring the Junagarh Fort, indulging in local delicacies like Bhujia and rasgulla, and experiencing the desert charm of this royal city.

Kumarakom

Kerala’s backwaters have always been on my travel wishlist, and Kumarakom seems like the ideal destination for a relaxing getaway. Picture this: cruising through serene backwaters on a houseboat, surrounded by lush greenery, enjoying delicious Kerala cuisine, and indulging in rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Kinnaur

For those seeking a thrilling adventure, Kinnaur is a must-visit. The region's stunning landscapes, including snow-capped peaks, apple orchards, and ancient temples, are calling out to me. Trekking, river rafting, and exploring hidden gems are on my to-do list. Kinnaur promises to be a truly unforgettable adventure.

Now, stop scrolling and go pack your bags, don’t forget your raincoat! Let’s make the most of this monsoon season!

Organised annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), World Water Week brings global attention to water-related challenges and the importance of responsible water management. The 2026 edition is being held from 23 to 27 August.

At Eros Hotel New Delhi, water conservation has been integrated across guest areas, kitchens, back-of-house operations and public facilities through a combination of water-efficient infrastructure and awareness initiatives.

The hotel has installed water-saving aerators across taps in guest room washrooms, kitchens and back-of-house areas to regulate water flow and improve consumption efficiency. Public washrooms feature sensor-operated taps, helping reduce unnecessary water usage, while guest rooms are equipped with dual-flush WC cisterns that allow guests to use water according to requirements.

The hotel's sustainability approach also focuses on creating greater awareness among guests and employees.

Awareness posters across kitchens and back-of-house areas further reinforce responsible water consumption among employees and operational teams.

A key element of Eros Hotel New Delhi's water management strategy is the 100% recycling of wastewater. Treated recycled water is utilised for horticulture and cooling towers, reducing the hotel's dependence on fresh water for selected operational requirements while ensuring wastewater is put to productive use.

By combining water-efficient fixtures, wastewater recycling and awareness programmes, Eros Hotel New Delhi continues to integrate resource-conscious practices into its daily operations.

The initiatives reflect the hotel's broader approach to making water conservation a shared responsibility among guests, employees and operational teams while strengthening its ongoing sustainability efforts.
