If Delhi’s humid August heat is getting to you, it’s the perfect time to plan a short and budget-friendly international escape. With one-way flights starting under ₹7,000 and easy visa processes (or none at all), these three destinations are ideal for Indian travellers looking for a quick breather.

Nepal is a peaceful monsoon retreat. Wander the heritage-rich lanes of Kathmandu, admire the ancient temples in Patan, and sip butter tea as the rain falls. Flights start from ₹4,168, and Indian citizens don’t need a visa to enter.

Vietnam offers a slower pace with rich culture and less tourist crowd. Explore Hanoi’s Old Quarter, visit historical sites like the Imperial Citadel in Hue, and enjoy comforting dishes like pho. You’ll only need a quick online e-visa (ETA), and flights start from ₹6,731.

Malaysia mixes tropical beauty with cultural depth. Kuala Lumpur’s street food, Penang’s colonial charm, and the misty hills of Cameron Highlands are perfect for a relaxed getaway. No visa is required for Indians, and flights start from ₹6,831.

This August, swap chaos for calm-without breaking the bank.
