Monsoon is a magical time to explore many states in India, which experience both the fun and fury surrounding the season. Regardless, taking time out to experience a rain-hugged landscape and its unique touristy activities can be a memorable episode in your life, if you also take the right measures to stay safe. Across the country, the season is experienced very differently, apart from common challenges like occasional waterlogging, floods and diseases.
In that case, how to plan a monsoon trip in India? Here's how to go about it. 1) Decide the destination that suits you Typically, the Indian monsoon season in different regions is between June and September. If what you want to see are lush green spots, backwaters or try seasonal treatments, head to Kerala, Maharashtra or Karnataka spots which are on the Western Ghats, or the states of Meghalaya or Assam in the Northeast.
If you want to enjoy the rain on a beach go to Goa. If the transformation of a desert into a verdant landscape would charm you, Udaipur and Jaipur in Rajasthan are your best picks. The Himalayan monsoon seasons in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh will be best for those who love trekking and landscapes like waterfalls.
2) An eye on weather forecasts Nothing is as important as staying updated about weather conditions while travelling to an Indian state during its monsoon season. The usually pretty spots can turn dangerous and barely accommodative, and they can even get closed down out of the blue if there is he.
