The monsoon season in India is not just about rain—it’s a whole new way to travel. From green hills and misty waterfalls to unique wildlife and hidden forest trails, the rains bring life and beauty to every corner. Here are 6 amazing monsoon experiences in India you should try.
1. Try a Wildlife Safari
Safaris in the rains may sound unusual, but they are magical. Forests come alive with fresh greenery, rare plants, elephants enjoying the rain, and colourful birds. National parks like Mudumalai, Bandipur, Periyar, Nagarhole, and Ranthambore are great choices for monsoon wildlife trips.
2. Go on a Herping Adventure in Munnar
In the Western Ghats, the monsoon brings frogs, snakes, and many amphibians out. Guided night walks in Munnar let you spot rare species like the resplendent shrub frog or the flying frog. It’s a unique jungle experience filled with croaks, colours, and adventure.
3. Stay in a Glass House
Imagine watching heavy rains while sitting inside a glass house surrounded by nature. From Wayanad’s coffee estates to Mussoorie’s valleys, many glass villas are built for the monsoon. Perfect for cosy stays, board games, and stunning rain views.
4. Join a Mushroom Foraging Walk
Monsoon is the season when mushrooms bloom in forests. Expert-led walks in Goa, Sikkim, Karnataka, and Delhi teach you how to spot different fungi and understand their role in nature. It’s about seeing the forest in a new way, not about eating them.
5. Trek in Maharashtra
The Sahyadri hills of Maharashtra turn bright green with waterfalls and mist-covered forts. From easy treks like Bhivpuri Waterfalls to challenging climbs like Kalavantin Durg, monsoon treks here are thrilling and full of natural beauty.
6. Explore Waterfalls and Plantations near Bengaluru
From Shivanasamudra Falls to Chikmagalur coffee estates, the areas around Bengaluru look magical in the rains. Coracle rides in Hogenakkal, spice plantations in Sakleshpur, and misty hills in Coorg make for perfect short getaways.
🌧️ Whether it’s trekking, safaris, or cosy stays, monsoon opens up some of India’s most unforgettable travel experiences.
