The scorching summer sun did not spare even the mountain stations this year. Munnar, one of the most sought after summer destinations in Kerala, has seen extreme temperature swings, recording high UV index and night temperatures as low as 1℃.
Still, for those eager to escape the urban heat islands, hill stations are still the most popular getaways. According to travel aggregators, tourists are also looking for destinations that offer a mix of immersive experiences with the added bonus of breathtaking views and cooler climates.
