India's Seductive Monsoon Beckons

These gorgeous destinations will make the heat and humidity bearable because of their breathtaking beauty and cool temperatures. So pack your bags now, you don’t have much time to soak in all this splendour––September will be here before you know it.

Udaipur, Rajasthan Visiting the “Venice of the East” may feel a bit counter-intuitive during monsoon season but its treasures are easily and even more wonderfully explored during the storms. Just outside of the city, The Monsoon Palace sits in all her glory. Located on the summit of Bansdara Mountain at 945 metres, you’ll experience stunning panoramic views of Udaipur. Monsoon season is an ideal time to visit, as the temperatures drop and you won’t run into the heated, frenzied Summer crowds. A sight to behold any time of year, the lake city Udaipur comes alive in the storms and is at her most spectacular during the monsoons. Make a splash with a stay at Oberoi Udaivilas, designed in the style of a traditional Rajasthani Palace. The easy drive from Updaipur (UDR) airport just 22 kilometres away, makes for an ideal getaway. taj.tajhotels. com/en-in/taj-lake-palace-udaipur
