Travelling Tips: No Hills, No Worries! Explore These Gorgeous Monsoon-Friendly Destinations in India

Monsoon Travel Tips: While the allure of hills and beautiful mountains is strong during the monsoon season, severe rains can cause blocked roads, landslides, and limited access in high areas. However, India has several more beautiful spots that convert into lush havens, offering a distinct and refreshing experience away from steep inclines and twisting mountain routes.

Choosing non-hilly locations during the monsoon allows you to explore the beauty of the rainy season without having to worry about difficult hilly areas. Here are some of the top monsoon spots in India where you may enjoy the rainy season without going to the hills.

Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Mount Abu, Rajasthan’s only hill station, offers a safer and more stable monsoon escape compared to high-altitude locations. Mount Abu’s light terrain and pleasant weather during the rains make it ideal for nature treks around Nakki Lake, visits to the Dilwara Temples, and panoramic views from Honeymoon Point and Guru Shikhar. Lush foliage, a mild breeze, and light showers all contribute to the peaceful mood.

Coorg, Karnataka

Known as the “Scotland of India,” Coorg transforms into a lovely place during the monsoon season. Its verdant coffee plantations, foggy hills, and flowing waterfalls, such as Abbey Falls and Iruppu Falls, make it an ideal hideaway. Rains increase the perfume of coffee estates and the beauty of the surrounding woodlands, making it ideal for couples and nature enthusiasts.

Udaipur, Rajasthan

The city of lakes is even more lovely after the rains. The monsoon season provides a great temperature for seeing palaces, taking boat excursions on Lake Pichola, and spending quiet time at Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, which offers breathtaking views of the city soaked in rain. It's a romantic getaway without the risks associated with hill stations.

Orchha, Madhya Pradesh

Orchha is a historical gem that comes alive during the monsoon season, with ancient forts, temples, and palaces nestled among lush surroundings. The Betwa River rises majestically, and rain-washed buildings such as the Jahangir Mahal and Chaturbhuj Temple appear even more grand. A calm, offbeat monsoon destination.

Goa

While Goa is famous for its beaches and nightlife, the rainy season brings out its quieter, more natural side. Green paddy fields, gushing waterfalls like Dudhsagar, and less people make it an excellent off-season destination. Enjoy spice plantation tours, river cruises, and heritage walks in Old Goa while it rains.

Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand

Unlike many hilly locations in Uttarakhand, Jim Corbett is usually accessible during the monsoon. Although the main zone is restricted, buffer zones still provide safaris to see elephants, deer, and exotic birds. Rain rejuvenates the trees, making it perfect for nature photographers and wildlife aficionados.

Jaipur, Rajasthan

The Pink City is a cultural delight during the monsoon season. The rain alleviates the desert heat, making it easier to visit architectural marvels such as Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, and City Palace. The infrequent showers add to the bustling marketplaces and regal charm, creating an ideal balance of history and monsoon beauty.

Kutch, Gujarat

Though generally arid, Kutch alters during the monsoon season, converting the salt desert into wetlands that attract migratory birds. The rain creates a distinct contrast in the terrain, ideal for photography and exploration. Visit the villages to admire Kutchi crafts and enjoy the tranquility of this lesser-known monsoon location.
