Travel Destinations for Indian Monsoons
 |
Corbett National Park Named after the famous hunter of man-eating tigers, this national park is home to a variety of flora and fauna. 110 tree species, 50 mammals’ species, 580 bird species, and 25 reptile species to name just a few. |
| Needless to say, this place provides welcome respite from everyday city stress. | |
 |
Puducherry A quite little town on the southern coast of India, this place still retains the quaint flavour of a French colony: the majestic colonial heritage buildings, unspoilt virgin beaches, and tree lines boulevards. |
 |
Kerala A long shoreline with serene beaches. Tranquil streches of emerald backwaters. Lush hill stations and exotic wildlife. Waterfalls. Sprawling plantations and paddy fields. Ayurvedic health holidays. Enchanting art |
| forms. Magical festivals. Historic and cultural monuments. An exotic cuisine…you need more reasons to visit Kerala? | |
 |
Matheran Located at an elevation of 800m from the sea level, Matheran is an idealic weekend get-away just 100 km from Mumbai. A rare spot close to the city, this place has managed to retain much of its old world charm. |
| The only modes of transport are horseback, man-pulled rickshaw or on foot. Old British style architecture still adorn Matheran colonies, the numerous bisecting roads of which are made of laterite earth. | |

Hey Just Rohit, I agree with you- Himachal has a lot of lovely spots that are yet to become popular tourist hotspots. But do you think Hills would be a good idea in the rains? I mean- what with landslides and all…personally I dont prefer going to the hills during monsoons.

Well, this is definitely not “the smarter way to travel” since Corbett is closed in the monsoon. Closes mid-June. Nice one, Yatra!

Hey Izzie…that’s correct…but I also read that you can check out some great flora and fauna during the Monsoons at Corbett due to less rush period. See this link:http://www.corbettpark.com/jim-corbett-national-park-facts.asp

Hey, would like to share that only one part of Corbett National Park i.e, Dhikala is closed in Monsoon while other parts like Bjirani, Jhirna etc. are there to visit, so Corbett is really a good place to visit in monsoon, Indeed a smarter way to travel, Thanks Yatra !

if one is interested in enchanting flora, especially alpine herbs, they should rather go to hills and wander away from the camp site to the hills.
