Travelling during the monsoon can mean green landscapes and lower prices, with a little extra planning.
Choose the region
Rain patterns vary a lot. Some regions are at their wettest while others nearby stay drier.
Hill roads need care
Heavy rain can cause landslides and road closures in hilly areas, so check local updates before setting out.
Leave room in the plan
Build in spare days so a cancelled train or closed road doesn't ruin the whole trip.
Pack for wet days
Quick-drying clothes, waterproof bags for phones and sturdy footwear make a big difference.
