Tailor-made Holidays To Arabia, Caucasus & Indian Subcontinent

Where to visit in August

August is a perfect month to enjoy the beautiful lakes and scenery of Kashmir in India and travel up into the Indian Himalaya to the remote desert region of Ladakh with its striking desert vistas and enthralling Buddhist culture. In Sri Lanka, August is a good time to enjoy the dry season in the Cultural Triangle on the stunning beaches of the east coast. It can be hot in Tbilisi and the lowlands in Georgia, but the weather is great for hiking in the Caucasus or visiting the mountainous regions. Armenia enjoys a similar climate, which is another good option for an August holiday.

August events include the Perseid Meteor Shower in Wadi Rum, Jordan, the Buraida Date Festival in Saudi Arabia and the Tsinandali Music Festival in Georgia.
