Gone are the days when anyone would advise you not to travel during the monsoons in India.
The travel concept has changed over the years as many travellers wait
for the arrival of the monsoons to explore places which offer them
enough excitement to make it a memorable experience.
Though
India offers plenty exciting destinations but here we have listed out
our top 5 states which are a must to travel in India during the
monsoon season with minimal hiccups.
1. Jammu & Kashmir: Not the Kashmir Valley but just the region of Leh &
Ladakh, which is a part of the Indus Valley and lies in the far flung
corner of northern India. This remote place has some of the most
exciting popular tourist destinations since it was opened in 1974,
especially for adventure sport lovers.
2.
Uttarakhand:This
northern state comes alive during the monsoons. A part of the Himalayan
kingdom, Uttarakhand has some stunning landscape, sanctuaries, hill
stations and trekking destinations. Not to forget the river rafting
which can be risky but with all the safety gears available is worth the
effort.
3. Kerala:
God's own country, how true! During the rains Kerala is the place to be
for everyone. The place invites you with open arms to enjoy its natural
beauty and its unique safaris in the national parks and backwaters by
boat, making it a very peaceful place to be. They say- One can smell the
real fragrance of Kerala during the monsoons.
Kerala's rainy season
is ideal for Ayurvedic treatment as the atmosphere is cool, moist and
dust free enabling your body to rejuvenate, naturally!
4. Goa:Although
not recommended to enjoy the sun, sand and surf during the monsoon, Goa
offers lot more than just beaches. Being part of Goa's spectacular
sceneries and vibrant monsoon festivals can be an experience by itself.
You can go fishing if you like and be a part of the dance and music of
the locals.
Goa can be affordable during monsoons as you can get
attractive hotel deals during this time of the year before the peak
season approaches and the prices shoot up.
5. Madhya Pradesh:This
might be a surprise, but yes, it's true that this statein central India
offers plenty of destinations to be explored. Sanctuaries can be a
sticky affair, Khajuraho, Mandu
near Indore, Bedhaghat near Jabalpur and Pachmarhi with all its
splendid waterfalls leave you mesmerized. Following the Narmada Riverand
the sporting adventures that it offers can make your monsoon memorable.
