These Indian hill stations are beautiful during the
monsoons. Let this list help you plan the perfect monsoon vacation.
The common perception suggests that travelling to the
hills is a bad idea during the monsoons. Agreed. We all know that the slippery
roads and the landslides make them inaccessible. So, what does a mountain lover
do in these times?
Well, not every hill station in this country is
inaccessible during the monsoons. Instead, there are many places that become
even better during this season. The rains simply bring out the best in them.
Knowing this for a fact, here's a list of hill stations in India where you can
travel to this monsoon. Madhya Pradesh and Kerala among the big winners at the
National Tourism Awards .
When somebody talks about the most picture-perfect
monsoon destinations in India, Wayanad has to be on the top. The slopes of this
destination in Kerala are carpeted by a layer of greenery that is so fresh that
any nature lover would find it impossible to take her eyes off the view. While
the tea gardens look gorgeous, trekking up to the Chembra Peak can promise you
with stunning panoramic views of the place. And if you are in the mood for a
sea beach visit, you can drive to Kozhikode, which is just 76 km away.
Located in the Satara district of Maharashtra,Mahabaleshwar is any Mumbaikar's favourite weekend getaway. After all, the
place is home to the best of what the Sahyadri mountain range has to offer.
Although the regular tourists avoid this place during the monsoons due to
torrential rainfall, but it's also the best time to enjoy the charms of its
unparalleled natural beauty. The waterfalls are fully alive, the slopes are
filled with a thick vegetation of numerous floral species, and the air is
filled with the sound of soothing bird calls.
When the discussion is about the best Indian destinations
to visit during the months of August and September, it's a sin to miss out on
Ladakh. A favourite among bikers, adventurers and tourists in general, this
cold desert with its moon-like landscapes, towering peaks, snow-laden mountain
passes, peaceful monasteries and beautiful lakes, can never fail to disappoint
a person who likes to travel and explore. The month of September is even more
suitable for a trip to this place, mainly because the roads are in better
condition as compared to the other seasons, and the famous Ladakh Festival is
also held during this time.
Home of verdant valleys and numerous waterfalls, Agumbe
in Karnataka is one of the best monsoon trekking destinations in the country.
Trekkers love the place because of its verdant charms and amazing views of the
Arabian Sea from some of the high points on the trail.
Blending beautifully with the natural beauty of the place
are the heritage spots of this place which are there in the form of ruins of
ancient temples dating back to the Hoysala Empire. Besides all this, Agumbe can
also trigger nostalgia for many as it once served as a setting for the famous
TV adaption of the book Malgudi Days.
Anyone who has ever wanted to visit Jammu and Kashmir,
must have heard about this place. Pahalgam is one of the most popular
destinations in the state and is visited by travellers from all parts of the
world every year. Situated at the confluence of streams flowing from Sheshnag
Lake and the Lidder river, it is a place with some of the most stunning views
you can get. Quiet surroundings and a pleasant weather make Pahalgam an ideal
vacation spot during the monsoons.
