From glowing fireflies to wildflower valleys, India’s monsoon months offer drama, magic, and fewer crowds. Here are 6 rainy escapes worth getting drenched for.
In early June, villages near Bhandardara light up with fireflies dancing in sync. Trek at night through magical woods in Purushwadi, Samrad, and Rajmachi.
Skip the crowds at Dudhsagar. Trek to Sathodi or Unchalli Falls through dense, rainy forests. Wild, wet, and worth every muddy step.
Near Nongriat and Mawlyngbna, find crystal pools ringed by banyans and butterflies. Rain makes them shimmer like hidden gems.
Ride the vintage Nilgiri toy train from Mettupalayam to Ooty as it winds past foggy hills, waterfalls, and mossy tracks.
This monsoon-only trek reveals a burst of alpine blooms in a misty Himalayan valley. Open June to October from Govindghat.
Glide through lush lagoons in Alleppey or Kumarakom. Rain adds a moody charm to the palms, canals, and quiet village life.
Monsoon isn't a travel spoiler—it's an invitation to explore India at its wildest and most romantic. Ready to chase the clouds?
