After the scorching heat, monsoon clouds have finally covered a large part of the country. As soon as the first shower of rain falls, nature has also covered itself with a green blanket. Who would feel like sitting at home in such pleasant weather? If you too are planning to take a break from the busy everyday life and office work and go to a very peaceful and magical place, then this monsoon is the perfect opportunity for you. There are some hidden tourist destinations in the country which look no less than heaven during the rainy days, where gurgling waterfalls and white clouds floating on the mountains will win your heart.
Queen of Mountains and House of Clouds: The feeling of being lost among the clouds
The Western Ghats and the hilly areas of north-eastern India come alive during the monsoon. From Maharashtra’s Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar and Bhandardara to Karnataka’s Coorg and Chikmagalur, beautiful places become the first choice of tourists in this season. If we talk about North India, then in some offbeat villages of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand like Jibhi, Tirthan Valley and Lansdowne, there is a feeling of a different peace and immense tranquility at this time. When there is early morning fog and monsoon mist in the valleys here, it feels as if you are walking above the clouds.
Milky waterfalls and velvety valleys: a paradise for photography lovers
What attracts the most during the rainy season are the mysterious waterfalls falling at full speed from the mountains. Dudhsagar Falls in Goa, Nohkalikai Falls in Meghalaya and the Smoky Falls in Bhedaghat in Madhya Pradesh are at their peak during this time. The velvety green grass spread around these waterfalls and the fragrance of sweet soil completely refreshes your mind. For social media lovers and travel influencers, this is the best time for Instagram reels and amazing landscape photography.
Unique adventure of road trip and monsoon trekking
For adventure lovers, monsoon season brings the best opportunity for trekking. Trekking in the mountains is definitely a bit challenging in this season, but when you complete the climb and reach the top, the view from there makes all your fatigue disappear in a moment. Apart from this, a long drive or road trip on winding roads amidst monsoon showers with your friends or partner is something else. All that is needed is proper planning and carrying essential items suitable for monsoon.
Take special care of these important things before going on a monsoon trip
Along with enjoying the immense beauty of nature, it is also very important to take care of safety. Due to heavy rains during monsoon, problems like landslides and flash floods can occur in some hilly areas. Therefore, before setting out on a trip to any place, thoroughly check the local weather conditions and the guidelines issued by the administration. Don’t forget to carry a waterproof bag, raincoat, good grip trekking shoes and essential medicines with you so that your magical trip remains completely safe and comfortable.
