Monsoon Travel India
This quote beautifully sums up what it can be like to Monsoon Travel India.'The sheer sight of cascading streams, tumbling waterfalls and ferocious torrents carving their way through jagged cliffs and rocky gorges is simply breathtaking.'
What exactly is the monsoon?For most of the year India is a fairly dry place to be but for one short season during the summer months - Mianly between June and September. In this season, rain clouds are carried in from the Indian Ocean by a seasonal wind called ‘monsoon’. The wind is in turn dependent on oceanic currents and more scientific aspects of climatology. The prevelant winds in India generaly travel Northwards through India from the South-West direction, thus the wet season is known by the locals as the 'Southwest Rains'.

Best places to Monsoon Travel India
The cool monsoon air redolent with the smell of wet earth, murmur of squeaking frogs and chirping of insects is something that just needs to be experienced firsthand. Eagerly awaited each year, the Southwest monsoon lashes most parts of north, west and eastern India from June to September offering the much needed respite from the scorching summer heat of the plains. The Retreating Monsoon season, on the other hand, brings rainfall to the southern regions from October to December.

You just have to be careful of the floods!
How much does it actually rain during the monsoon in India?
Well the answer to this question is almost impossible to answer due to the spontanious nature of the Indian rainy season. The coast always gets a lot more rain, for example Karnataka (in the south) gets a huge amount of rain but as soon as you start travel inland you may find that it won't rain at all! Flooding is nearly always expected in places such as these: Kerala, coastal Karnataka, Goa, Sahyadri mountain ranges, Maharashtra, Orissa. The rains in states such as Uttar Pradesh are highly unpredictable – Some years there are floods and other years huge droughts.
Other things to bare in mind......
In places where it rains a lot, carry an umbrella all the time. Cities can be a pretty horrible place to be whent here is a lot of rain. Unlike the countryside, cities can get slushy, drains can get flooded and the high levels of pollution have been known to cause acid rain. It’s an annoyance you will have to live with but a minor one at least. Unlike the winter seasons where accommodation is plentiful for tourists, the rainy season can be quite the opposite, always book ahead for more information. Enjoy your Monsoon travel India trip....!
