In the mood to go trippin’? Here’s a handy guide to help you pick the perfect destination

Beat the heat and turn the scorching summer into an extravagant expedition by taking off to some exotic locales. And before you even begin to wonder where, we put on the thinking caps to help you narrow down your options… Manila, Philippines: Philippines promise you the perfect exotic vacation that you could think of. The idyllic beaches and the peaceful ambience is just addictive, making it a perfect place to relax, chill and enjoy. Also there’s a lot for you to do here — check out the traditional Filipino food, go see the tribal artifacts at the National Museum Annex, pay a trip to Vigan, a UNESCO world heritage site, among others. You could even go the sporty way and go scuba diving off the Coast of Palawan Island. Paris, France: This is perhaps the evergreen favourite. The oh-so-romantic city continues to be one of the most visited places across the world. The city has many familiar landmarks and has a lot to offer. Paris is enchanting almost everywhere, at any time, even ‘in the summer, when it sizzles’ and ‘in the winter, when it drizzles’, as Cole Porter put it. Victorian Alps, Australia: The highest mountain ranges of mainland Australia, the Australian Alps make for more than just a picturesque locale. Protected by large national parks, the Alps are important for conservation as well. And the highpoint remains the skiing activity. This makes for a perfect place to enjoy the winter scene in summers. Hawaii: Tagged as a paradise by tourists, the Emerald islands of Hawaii make for a breathtakingly beautiful destination. Where else would you be so urged to put a hibiscus flower in your hair as you sip your fruity juices? The place is intoxicatingly beautiful and enchanting. Greek Island, Greece: If you are in the mood to soak in some sun, this is the place to go. The beaches here make for not just swimming but also lend themselves to scuba diving, snorkeling, skiing, and windsurfing.
