Your destination needs to be smartly chosen. Avoid extremely hot regions like Rajasthan that have the desert climate. Also, avoid places that require too much sightseeing as that could be really hectic on a hot summer day.
Goa, Kerala, Pondicherry are also quite hot but the advantage of beach destinations is that the sea will cool you off.. Hill stations are the best in summer because it is cooler there and you can actually take a few days off from the scorching heat of the sun and lose yourself amidst the hills.
It is also a great idea to choose a place which has a lot of greenery, like national parks or forests. It may be humid there, but truly speaking the greenery will win your heart and rejuvenate your soul in any season of the year.
