Valley of Flowers and Auli: Those valleys of Uttarakhand which become heaven during monsoon.
The month of July is the best time to explore the world famous ‘Valley of Flowers’ of Uttarakhand.

Spiti Valley and Manali: The corner of Himachal Pradesh where there is no heavy rain
If you want to enjoy the mountains without the fear of landslides during monsoon, then ‘Spiti Valley’ of Himachal Pradesh is the safest and beautiful option for you. Spiti is a ‘rain shadow area’, which means it receives very little rainfall even in July. Surrounded by cold desert, ancient Buddhist monasteries and high mountains, this place is the first choice for adventure lovers. On the other hand, if you want to go with the family on a low budget, then the serene atmosphere of Manali’s Solang Valley and the cafes of Old Manali will win your heart.
