Monsoons in India – A Magical Combination of Mountains and Rains

Does being in those high altitudes makes you feel at home?

Then you are someone who is deeply in love with nature and its beautiful belongings. You enjoy your soliloquy within the mountains that are bathed in clouds, mist, fog, and rain. 

Whoever has told you that you should not visit the mountains during monsoon, has for sure never ever witnessed the surreal beauty of the mountains, especially during monsoon. 

Mountains during monsoons are like a flurry of colours coming straight down from the palette of your dreams. It’s full of blooming flowers scattered everywhere and waterfalls in full force that would turn your head around. 

All you need is a backpack covered with a rain cover, a pair of anti-skid shoes because the roads will be slippery. And the best is explored only when you walk, a good camera, and some money in your wallet. And you are good to go to fall in love with the mountains along with clouds and drizzles. And embark on a journey to carve memories of your lifetime. 

Why is North East India during monsoon the best region?

There is a reason why the North Eastern part of India is known to be a kingdom in its own right. And trust me there are thousands of reasons behind that. Be it the lush green awe-inspiring landscapes, the giant trees, the blooming flowers scattered everywhere like colourful blankets, or even the mighty waterfalls in full force. 

And last but not least, it’s the clouds that are dancing everywhere. There’s so much that North East India would offer you during the monsoons. All you need is to be there and witness and engulf this natural beauty. 

If you want to witness the beauty of torrential rains you can visit during June. June is considered to be the wettest month in these regions. From July till early September, you would witness the different moods of monsoon. 

From the moment you would set foot in these regions, you would definitely be welcomed by clouds, fog, mist, and rain everywhere. Rivers have never looked so beautiful as in monsoon. 

The mountain beds are lush green with vibrant colorful flowers scattered everywhere. It seems like a valley that is wrapped in colorful blankets. And that adrenaline rush when you see those mighty waterfalls will pump up your heart like never before. 

Yes, I do agree that roads are a bit challenging during this time. But once you witness its real beauty, you know for sure that it’s worth all the hurdles. 

Places that are worth the visit and you should never skip in your next visit to North East India

There are many places in North East India that you can cover during monsoon months. The beautiful states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura have so much to offer. Trust me one monsoon season is not enough to cover them. 

Meghalaya is known to receive the heaviest rainfall and it’s so beautiful to experience this mystical beauty. You can explore Cherapunji, take a boat ride in the Dawki River, and get adventurous by climbing those natural double-decker bridges. 

And being in Meghalaya, who would forget about visiting its capital city Shillong? It’s renowned as the ‘Scotland of the East’ and especially during monsoon it is magically beautiful with rugged hills that are covered with clouds. 

Trek to the Dzuko Valley is always the best during monsoon. It seems like you are part of a different world altogether. 

Monsoon is the best time to visit beautiful tea gardens in Assam. 

If you prefer high mountains, then Sikkim should be on your wish list. The beautiful snow-capped valleys of winter are covered with colourful blankets of flowers during monsoon. 

You can also trek to Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary and if lucky can get a rare glimpse of a Red Panda that is found only in this region. 

Monsoon in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir, and Ladakh

If the North Eastern part of India is known to be a kingdom of its own, then the northern part of India is also no less. The beauty of the Himalayan mountains in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir, and Ladakh is surreal during monsoons. 

The crystal drops of rain give the look of lush wonderlands to mountain landscapes. In fact, the most picturesque time to visit the North Indian mountains is the monsoons. 

Now visiting the mountains during monsoon is not everyone’s cup of tea. But if you are in love with dense pine forests, then North India will delight you in abundance. 

Places of interest in Northern India

The most famous and beautiful treks in India – the Valley of Flowers (Uttarakhand) and the Kashmir Great Lakes are only done during the months of monsoon. There is a reason why these treks are conducted during monsoon knowing that the roads will be risky. It is its magical beauty, lush green meadows, and exquisite colours from the blooming flowers scattered everywhere like blankets. 

The sparkling blue waters of the Kashmir lakes and lush green meadows, I can bet you will never find anywhere in the world. 

Witnessing the Valley of Flowers trek myself during the 3rd week of July, when the flowers are at their blooming best, it has indeed been a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me which I am ready to witness again and again. 

And that’s when I fell for the mountains, especially during monsoons, and witnessed their beauty repeatedly. 

Even the monsoon treks in Himachal Pradesh like Hampta Pass, Bhrigu Lake, Tosh Valley Trek, etc are truly majestic and unless you have been there, you won’t be able to engulf its beauty. 

And what to say about the majestic lands of Ladakh, July is considered to be the best month to visit there where you will get the most of its enchanting beauty with less rainfall and sunny sky. 

Even the Spiti Valley landscape is also beautiful during monsoons with lush landscapes and glistening rivers. 

Monsoons and mountains in Southern India

Not only the northern part of India, even the Southern part, is also magical during the monsoon. The Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats are too beautiful to miss during monsoon. Mountains in South India have diverse landscapes that are a treasure for explorers, hikers, and trekkers. 

Sakleshpura in Karnataka is a delight for explorers during monsoon. With the mountains of the Western ,Ghats and coffee plantations, you will get more on your plate than you expect. 

Malshej Ghat in Maharashtra is a beauty with breathtaking waterfalls surrounding the mountains. It’s a delight for adventure lovers exploring flora and fauna. 

Hill stations like Ooty, Coorg, Kodai Kanal, Munnar, and Valparai are a treat to the eyes during monsoon. 

So what are you waiting for????

It’s high time to ditch those fears of visiting mountains during monsoon and witness the ethereal beauty of the Himalayas in Northern India and the mountains in Southern India, especially during monsoon.

Tips To Keep in Mind Before Stepping Out in Summer

Summer is here, and with it comes nonstop outings under the sun. Think of adventure trips, poolside lounging, and rooftop cocktails with friends, just to name a few.

But before you head out in the scorching heat with your squad to soak up those sun rays, it is crucial to prep yourself.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the year 2024 will experience above-normal temperatures and a heatwave from March to May. The prediction is that the summer of 2024 will have more heat wave days than usual.

The temperature is rising every passing day, massively affecting our health, and sometimes causing dehydration, sunburn, heat cramps, and so on. Being careful in summer is the only smart move we can make this season, as the body’s requirements fluctuate.

Fret not! Here’s your ultimate guide to conquering the summer and staying comfortable, cool, and ready for all those outdoor activities!

Beat the Heat With These Tips

Here are some quick and easy tips to laugh, enjoy, learn, and relive your childhood this summer. Let’s find out.

  • Listen to Your Body

Exhaustion from heat and heatstroke are serious conditions. Pay attention to what your body is signalling you. If you feel excessive thirst, dizziness, nausea, and muscle cramps, try to cover up yourself before stepping out; cool down in between and rehydrate yourself.

If you feel you are experiencing any of these symptoms even slightly, take immediate action and let your family doctor know about these signs and symptoms.

  • Take Breaks

If you work outdoors or you are engaging in a physical activity, make sure you take frequent breaks. This will help you cool down and your body will thank you for it.

As mentioned above, listen to your body and be careful of signs of overheating, like feeling lightheaded. Drink plenty of water and rest in a shaded area in such conditions.

  • Stay Hydrated

This goes without saying. Staying hydrated is the first and foremost thing you do this summer. Your body will be blessed with plenty of water you consume throughout the day.

Try to avoid caffeine or alcohol as they can lead to dehydration. If you are getting involved in physician activity be sure to drink water, and if you are stepping outside your home you must carry your water bottle.

  • Don’t Leave Your Pet or Children in Hot Cars

On a hot day never leave your child or pet unattended in a parked car even for a little time. Around this time, the temperature can soar up to higher levels, leading to heatstroke. In case you see a child or a pet in a hot car, try to take quick action to get them out safely and provide them water.

  • Sunscreen Saviour

It is not about glam and glow, or trying to attain the perfect skin. Sunscreen helps your skin remain cool and hydrated in the hot weather conditions. If you do not have sunscreen, it is safe to get one.

Sunscreen is your primary defence against sunburn. Applying one with SPF 30 or higher to your face, neck, ears, and exposed area is advisable. Be sure you reapply every two hours, especially if you are sweating heavily or swimming.

You can even get hold of a lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from sun damage.

  • Safeguard Your Eyes

In addition to safeguarding your skin and lips, your eyes also need protection from harmful UV rays, especially when you are spending hours outdoors or engaging in water activities.

Wear goggles to reduce the sun’s rays and minimize the risk of harming your eyes. Look for UV protection goggles or polarised lenses, both can help in reducing glare when you are surrounded by reflective surfaces.

  • Dress Appropriately

Wear lightweight clothes made from cotton and other breathable fabric. The loose-fitting cloth will keep you cool in hot and sultry weather. Remember to shop for light colours that reflect sun rays rather than dark ones that absorb heat.

Don’t forget to cover your head and face with a scarf or hat to protect your neck from the sun.

  • Ditch Soda, Add Fruits and Veggies

Do you know that sugary drinks dehydrate you faster? Replace soda with fresh juices, coconut water, homemade iced tea (unsweetened), and buttermilk.

Consume fruits and vegetables with high water content, like cucumber, watermelon, and mangoes, like a hydrating and refreshing snack.

Stay Informed With Weather Apps

Stay up-to-date on weather forecasts using weather apps on your smartphone or tablet. These apps provide real-time updates on temperature, humidity levels, and UV index, allowing you to plan your outdoor activities accordingly. This will help you to take the necessary precautions to stay safe in hot weather.

Some apps even offer personalised recommendations as well based on your location and weather preferences, helping you make smart decisions about when and where to go outdoors.

So, by following these tips, you will be able to swiftly conquer the summer heat and may even end up enjoying the season.

Just remember to stay safe and cool.

Common fights that relationships face and how to get out of them

Communication Struggles

Having effective communication with your partner in a relationship is very crucial.  Today communication struggle is a big issue between couples. If you don’t express yourself and keep the emotions entitled within, it gradually leads to misunderstanding. 

Lack of communication results in unnecessary arguments and worries.  The required peace between couples gets lost. Communication Struggle leads to many differences between couples

There’s a solution to every problem.  You can improve communication by spending more time with your partner. Start sharing your inner thoughts. You must express your care, love, and compassion for your partner. Making these little efforts will help to decrease the communication struggles between couples.

Financial friction

Money has been a matter of fight in most kinds of relationships. In a relationship, two individuals might have different ways of spending money. For example, shopping for shoes or dresses frequently might be liked by one and not preferred by another.  There can be conflicts over how to spend the money, savings, and other financial goals.

To solve this financial friction, you must discuss your financial goals and plans with each other. You can create a budget reflecting your priorities and individual needs. This will promote transparency and cooperation between couples. Building clear roles and responsibilities for managing finances can help to maintain peace and harmony between couples.

Household Chores

Generally, in a relationship always the woman has the pressure of household chores like cooking, cleaning, and others. Sometimes she might get tired and need rest. There are disagreements between couples about who should do what. These small arguments lead to big fights between couples.

Couples must address this issue with patience and calmness. You must remember cooking and cleaning are not just meant to be done by women. There must be an open discussion about household responsibilities and preferences.  You can create a chore schedule or rotate tasks.

By rotating tasks, both of you can ensure an equal distribution of work. Along with this express appreciation for each other’s contribution and offerings. This will help you to foster a sense of teamwork and cooperation.

Intimacy Imbalances

 Differences in sexual desires, frequency of intimacy and emotional needs can create tension in relationships.  One partner may feel neglected or undesired, while the other may feel pleasured or overwhelmed.  It’s not mandatory that when you are in a mood, the other person should also behave accordingly.

You must have open and honest communication with each other.  It is essential to ask the preferences of your partner while addressing intimacy issues. Couples should create a safe place to discuss their sexual needs, desires, and boundaries without judgment.  Always prioritise quality time together, rather than focusing on physical intimacy. You may seek professional help if necessary, to bridge the gap and strengthen the emotional connection between partners.

Trust Issues

Trust between both of you decides whether your relationship is strong or fragile.  Having trust issues leads to the destruction of a relationship. Couples nowadays have several trust issues with their partners. They want a complete check on their partners starting from passwords of social media apps to call records.  This problem is too common because of the suspicious nature, past betrayals, or jealousy among two individuals in a relationship.  These common fights can lead to a breakup or divorce.

Remember rebuilding Trust requires time, patience, and consistent efforts from both partners. Couples can rebuild trust by acknowledging each other’s past, focusing on the present and committing to stay open and transparent with each other. Setting boundaries and being accountable for your actions helps in rebuilding trust and strengthen the relationship.

Family Friction

Couples staying in a joint or extended family can fight over numerous unnecessary issues.  The variation in the thought process of individuals leads to an ugly argument. There can be fights over following the traditions and rituals.  These controversies have a direct impact on relationships. The beautiful bond between your partner may be disturbed because of these family issues.

However, couples must handle this maturely.  You must communicate openly about the expectations and concerns regarding family members.  You can set boundaries and both can support each other on some matters. This will help you to solve the conflict with your partner. Additionally, prioritizing each other’s needs and supporting each other during family-related challenges can strengthen the bond between partners.
