Most Famous Monsoon Destinations in India

The term monsoon actually means a wind. This blows in the months of April to October from the southwest. Officially, the summer monsoon in India lasts from June to August. The Indian level is heating up enormously in the months of April and May. Especially in May, temperatures of over 40 degrees are not uncommon. The heated air escapes upwards, creating a depression on the mainland. This draws air from the sea and the winds drive rain-laden clouds from the Indian Ocean in front of him. As soon as the clouds hit Indian mountain landscapes, like the Himalayas or the Western Ghats in South India, they discharge and it rains.

Tips for destinations in the monsoon season

In fact, you can travel to India throughout the year, even during the monsoon season. In the desert state of Rajasthan, for example, it rains less than you think. But there are some corners that are particularly worthwhile during the monsoon season!

The Ladakh region

In the Indian Himalayas, the scenic and cultural diversity of India culminates - and in the truest sense of the word. Ladakh is the Indian roof of the world and can only be visited in the summer months. A pleasure for the eyes and heart are the snow-capped Himalaya mountains, mantras singing monks in red robes, whitewashed stupas, silent monasteries, endless horizons and wide, barren mountain landscapes. And the colorful monastery festivals truly an experience!

The tropical Kerala

Kerala in the south is the emerald of India. After a shower of rain, the tropical landscapes glitter and sparkle and the jungle is lush green. The rainy season is also particularly suitable for Ayurvedic treatment. The warm and humid climate helps to open the pores and the body is more receptive to the treatments. Another advantage is that the Periyar National Park is open all year round, even during the monsoon season - unlike most other national parks in India. Special festivals include the famous snake boat race and the festival Onam.

Indian Hill Stations

Do it like the British once and escape the summer heat in the airy hill stations. A side trip can be well planned in almost every round trip and will enrich your journey immensely. The hill stations are located at an altitude of about 1,000 to 1,500 m. Particularly well-known are the places Munnar, Ooty & Coonoor in the south of the country, and Dharamshala, Dehradun & Darjeeling in north India.

The valley of flowers

Once a year, a valley blooms in the north Indian mountain landscape of Uttarakhand and is brought to life by the monsoon rains. In this Himalayan valley grow 300 different types of flowers, which lay like a colorful, flowery carpet over the landscape. The valley is accessible only during the summer months as part of an approximately 15 km long, sometimes demanding, hike.
