Weekend Getaway - Lake Tahoe


Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful & rejuvenating weekend getaway places. Just 4 hours away from San Francisco, the drive to the destination elevates the definition of beauty with its clear blue skies, placid waters and heavenly snow capped mountains. The ideal time to visit Tahoe would be around mid May when you can witness the combination of bright sun and the white snow.

Lake Tahoe offers a variety of things to do. Some of the interesting things to do for a 2 day weekend at Tahoe:

Gondola Ride at Heavenly Resort:

Vikingsholm Trail & Castle:
Vikingsholm trail is a 1 mile trail that descends down to the Vikingsholm castle and the most beautiful beach at South Lake Tahoe – the Emerald Bay beach. The caste is situated at the end of the trail. Half an hour tour of the castle throws light on the aesthetics & history of the castle.

Emerald Bay Beach:
Emerald bay beach is the most exquisite and stunning beach located at the tip of the Vikingsholm trail. The vastness of the beach and the presence of Fanette island at the center of the beach makes this beach the most refreshing treat for the eyes.

Zephyr Cove Beach:
Be it sauntering on the beach or playing games like volleyball, Zephyr cove beach offers a myriad of fun activities to be done at the beach. One of the most popular party beaches at South Lake Tahoe.

Water Sports:
