The camaraderie between siblings is one of its kind, so choose a holiday destination depending on the kind of things you’d like to do together and that reflects your special relationship. Pick a place and surprise your sibling with an unexpected Raksha Bandhan holiday this August. Here are the 5 holidays you need to take with your sibling: 

1. An Adventure Holiday in Himachal

 

If you’re yearning for all those childhood adventures you used to have together, it’s time to head for a trekking trip. Determine the difficulty level you’re willing to go for, and decide accordingly. My pick would be the Classic Manaslu Circuit Trek in the Himalayan range. Crossing the Larkya Pass, it’s an isolated and challenging trek of almost 20 days, but definitely, one to give you that adrenaline rush. This high altitude valley of 8,163 metres will allow you to explore and experience Buddhist monasteries and difficult passes. If you’re a bold and daring sibling team, this is the one to go for.

2. A Relaxed Getaway in Kerala

You could be workaholics desperately needing some down time or just plain lazy. Either way, pick a place to unwind and finally ‘stop to smell the roses’ as they say. With spa tourism growing from strength to strength in our country, my pick would be Kumarakom. Kerala is one of the most serene states of India, and heading to Maya Spa here would definitely give you that much needed relaxed holiday. On the shores of the Vembanand Lake, amidst the backwaters - pamper yourselves with some Ayurvedic treatment, Oriental massage healing, Shiatsu and more.

3. A Camping Weekend in Rishikesh or Chandertal

 

Nothing like a camping trip to really make you reminiscence. Take the Rishikesh or Mussourie option and you’re in for a wonderful camping weekend, but if you’re looking for a slightly unconventional camp site, take a look at Chandertal Lake, in Himachal Pradesh. Almost nestled between Lahaul and Spiti Valley, the campsite is surrounded by this magnificent lake, often referred to as the ‘’lake of the moon’’. So pack your camping essentials (read – instant noodles, torches and tents) and camp it out one weekend.

4. A Beach Vacation in Goa

It’s never a bad idea to take a vacation here, everybody loves the beach! India has a number of unexplored stunning beaches and there’s always a nook or cranny that one can discover, but I’m still going to go with Goa. Simply because I don’t think you can go wrong with it really. For the typical beach bum siblings; wanting to sip on pina coladas, sunbathe and talk about annoying fellow cousins - go to Palolem Beach in far South Goa. A thick forest, and a semi circular sandy stretch, it’s so little and so much at the same time! For the siblings who need a party, north is the place to be. Baga Beach though crowded, is always buzzing with activity; from water sport activities to parasailing, night clubs and fine dining!
