August is here, so am I! While some might prefer to stay indoors, I'm all about embracing the rain and exploring new places. However, I am not good at navigating amidst the throng of tourists trying to get a glimpse of whatever is standing in front of me. So, I am planning to visit some of the off beaten paths in India, where there will be people but no crowd so that I can enjoy the place and keep my sanity with myself. Have a look at my itinerary! And feel free to steal some!
Valley of Flowers
This is a floral fantasy in Uttarakhand. Imagine trekking through a carpet of vibrant wildflowers, surrounded by snow-capped peaks. That’s the magic of the Valley of Flowers. I’ve always been captivated by pictures of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, and August, with its blooming meadows, seems like the perfect time to visit. I can just picture myself hiking through the lush greenery, camera in hand, capturing the breathtaking scenery.
Lahaul Spiti
Ladies and gentlemen, and fellow solitude lovers, I present to you Lahaul Spiti. Rugged mountains, crystal-clear rivers, and ancient monasteries create a mystical atmosphere. I’m drawn to the idea of exploring remote villages, interacting with locals, and experiencing the thrill of high-altitude trekking. Plus, the monsoon brings a unique charm to this region, with cascading waterfalls and lush valleys.
Agumbe
Agumbe, often called the 'Cherrapunji of the South.' I don’t think you might need any more reason to visit this place, but I am still going to talk about it. I'm fascinated by the lush rainforests, diverse wildlife, and the enchanting waterfalls. It’s the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. I can imagine myself staying in a cozy homestay, sipping on filter coffee, and exploring the surrounding hills.
Bikaner
For a complete change of pace, I’m planning a trip to Bikaner. The golden city’s majestic forts, vibrant bazaars, and rich history intrigue me. I'm looking forward to exploring the Junagarh Fort, indulging in local delicacies like Bhujia and rasgulla, and experiencing the desert charm of this royal city.
Kumarakom
Kerala’s backwaters have always been on my travel wishlist, and Kumarakom seems like the ideal destination for a relaxing getaway. Picture this: cruising through serene backwaters on a houseboat, surrounded by lush greenery, enjoying delicious Kerala cuisine, and indulging in rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Kinnaur
For those seeking a thrilling adventure, Kinnaur is a must-visit. The region's stunning landscapes, including snow-capped peaks, apple orchards, and ancient temples, are calling out to me. Trekking, river rafting, and exploring hidden gems are on my to-do list. Kinnaur promises to be a truly unforgettable adventure.
Now, stop scrolling and go pack your bags, don’t forget your raincoat! Let’s make the most of this monsoon season!
