Delhi in May is brutal. I've sweated through enough summers here to know the moment April ends, you start counting days to escape.
After years of road-tripping across North India with friends, I've found five spots that genuinely stay cool when the plains feel like an oven.
- Chitkul, Himachal Pradesh sits at 3,450 metres. Even in June, you'll need a light jacket at night.
- Chopta, Uttarakhand called India's mini Switzerland hovers around 10–15°C all summer. Barely anyone goes. That's the point.
- Spiti
