Monsoons have arrived!

Saturday, June 02, 2007

Stream monsoon
Streams come alive in the monsoons

The monsoons have hit Kerala, and moving upwards in their usual place, now touching Karnataka. This is a season every one us look forward, to see the hot days end, to see the green and beautiful earth all around us and enjoy the fresh breeze after the rains. For me arrival of the monsoons means the end of tourist season which means that there is no need to worry about crowds everywhere; it is time to travel!

Green Fields during the monsoons
It is all green and pretty when it rains

Although I keep hoping to travel more in the monsoons every year, I never do as much as I wish to. Monsoons are indeed a great time to be with, and feel the beauty of nature. For those living around Bangalore, below is a list trip reports during the monsoons, and other monsoon related content on India Travel Blog.

Man! Your excellent pics make Bangalore look prettier than it usually is. :)

Waiting for the rains to get here; the entire area surrounding Pune including Lonavala and Khandala are a sight to behold during the rains, but quite ordinary during the rest of the year!
