Summer Heat – Bikaner, India


The heat in India at this time of year has taken some getting used to, especially experiencing mostly "spring-like" temperatures in the Middle East. The daily high temperatures have typically been exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. As you can see, swimming pools are very welcomed.

I read somewhere "traveling in India during the summer is for the adventurous or ill-informed". I'm not sure if we qualify for either. The trip was purposely planned so that we cross the Himalayans in the overland truck in August when the snow should be at a minimum for the year. We'll be reaching attitudes of 5000+ meters. During the heat in India, we keep reminding ourselves of the expected upcoming freezing weather.
