Where to go in April?
April is the time when the summer sets in India, and hence most of the places of interest would be hotter to visit. But there are exceptions to this of course, like the hill stations which would have a relatively cooler weather during the summer as well. So it depends on how you want the travel to be – whether you want cooler places or the summer’s heat isn’t a problem for you and you are open for all.
