There is a lot of interesting material on the Internet for your summer vacations. If you are planning to go out on holidays and have not decided about the holiday destination options, you can checkout some interesting destinations and tour options on http://www.indiamart.com/indianholidays. On this site you can find hill retreats, jungle tours, sun and surf, heritage tours, Indo-Nepal tours etc. Moreover you can also explore adventure holidays and special interest tours on this site. So you can plan your holidays differently and have a lot of fun. Moreover there is another site called http://www.touroperatorindia.com,  where you can find tour packages, leisure tours, pilgrimage tours, student tours and can also avail the facility of railway reservations and hotel reservation for any destination in India. Well! If you are sick of those old holiday plans and wish to do something different then you may try flying.

Flying is definitely a different experience and is quite adventurous too. However, you need not exhaust all your bank balance and spend in dollars to enjoy such holidays, as it is available right here in India. For knowing more about your flying holidays you can log onto http://www.aceaviation.co.uk. On this site you will find information on flying holidays in India for paragliding, hang-gliding, para motoring and powered hang-gliding. There are many good places in South India mentioned on this site for flying and you can know about these places on this Web site. Moreover for flying lovers, this site offers some good tour packages also, which includes 1 or 2 days stop at a cliff-top beach hotel where warm sea breezes provide plenty of lift for soaring over the adjacent beach ridges and cliffs, which is within easy walking distance. The next stop is at Calicut and then to the flying base high up in the Western Ghats town of Udhagamandalam, more popularly known as Ooty. Then your flying adventure begins and continues for the next 10 days. The tour also includes driving from site to site through tea and coffee plantations, remote tribal villages, through jungles and over forest streams and rivers. This could well be your dream holiday.

There is one site on the Internet, whose mention is absolutely essential for all those who are planning their holidays this summer and it is www.indianrail.gov.in. Since for travelling you may require rail travel, thus this site could be useful as here you can find some important information about railways like online railway reservations, distances in kilometers, train schedules and loads of other vital information about travelling by train.
