Why Monsoon is the Best Time to Explore India’s Natural Wonders

The monsoon season (June–September) transforms India into a verdant wonderland. While many travelers avoid the rains, true nature lovers know this is when forests glow emerald green, waterfalls roar to life, and misty landscapes feel almost mystical. From the Western Ghats to the Northeast, India’s rainforests and waterfalls offer adventure, serenity, and Instagram-worthy vistas—without the crowds.
