For the intrepid traveller, the rainy season in India offers a unique, enchanting experience that's hard to find anywhere else. From the misty hills of the Western Ghats to the mysterious valleys of the Himalayas, every corner of the country brims with beauty, romance, and adventure.
1 MUNNAR, KERALA
Nestled in the Western Ghats, Munnar is a haven for tea lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. As the rain showers kiss the emerald tea plantations, the landscape transforms into a lush, green paradise. The mist-clad mountains, roaring waterfalls, and cool, crisp air make Munnar a perfect escape from the summer heat. Don't miss the Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, and the scenic Mattupetty Dam. For a quirky touch, visit the Tea Museum to sip on some history.

2 SPITI VALLEY, HIMACHAL PRADESH
Spiti Valley, often referred to as "Little Tibet," offers a stark contrast to the lush greenery of Munnar. This high-altitude desert valley becomes even more mesmerising during the monsoon, with its barren landscapes occasionally dotted by patches of greenery. The monasteries here, like Key Monastery and Tabo Monastery, seem almost otherworldly in the rain. For the adventurous, the treacherous roads and unpredictable weather make the journey an exhilarating challenge.
