Keeping the monsoons in mind, here are 5 Asian destinations to travel to this season – Times Now

We’re often looking for an excuse to take a break from our regular, mundane schedules and head out on a vacation to rejuvenate, unwind and explore the world. Apart from constantly checking our schedules, another key factor to keep in mind while travelling is the weather and season. While we’re amidst the monsoons, most of our favourite holiday destinations are either flooded unsuitable for tourism. Fret not, we have you covered. Keeping the weather in mind, here are five places in Asia where you can head to this August without burning a hole in your pocket and worrying about being jet-lagged.1) Kyoto, Japan

Japan is one country that is on every travellers list. One city in Japan that everyone must visit without a shadow of a doubt is Kyoto. On the island of Honshu, Kyoto is the house to classical monasteries, imperial palaces, and wooden houses. With traditional Japenese cuisines, Kyoto is a must-visit this season.

2) Singapore

It’s always a good time to visit Singapore. From spending the entire day at Universal studios to taking a stroll by Gardens by the bay, Singapore is just five hours away and we bet the sumptuous meal is to die for. With Sentosa Islands and Orchard Street too, even four days in the city will help you unwind and rejuvenate.

3) Colombo, Sri Lanka

Looking for a place to just relax and soak in the sun? There’s no better place than Sri Lanka. The island is beautiful with picturesque landscapes.
