Just let it rain!
Then the monsoon clouds gather and the first droplets of rain kiss the earth, a magical transformation sweeps across the landscapes. Everything around is lush green; everything is washed and clean, and trees are all shiny as the dust is gone and new saplings growing beneath them have found a new reason to grow. The monsoon season, often considered a challenge for travellers, actually presents a myriad of opportunities for those willing to embrace it. The rains refresh and rejuvenate the natural world, painting the scenery with vibrant hues and creating a serene, mystical atmosphere. From lush green valleys and cascading waterfalls to mist-covered mountains and tranquil lakes, the monsoon unveils the hidden beauty of various destinations.
The monsoon has a rejuvenating effect on people who embrace it as well as the landscape that needs it for its revival. But then everything has a flip side to it. The monsoon also brings hardships, floods, diseases, and what have you. Take it with a pinch of salt, as one must take so many other things life offers regardless of their expectations. Embrace it. Live it. Travel it. It is agreed that July is not the best month to travel, and roads may be flooded with potholes that may dot the road, if it is even there. But then that is the charm of travel. You are out of your comfort zone. You are expecting the unexpected. There may be traffic jams on the highway, or a landslide maybe, but then you have that warm cup of tea in the tea shack or a Maggie point nearby when you need it the most because you are starving and could eat a horse. Don’t sulk; just live. That is what life is all about. This July, Exotica delves into the enchanting world of monsoon travel, revealing how the rains breathe life into destinations, turning them into verdant paradises and offering unique experiences for intrepid travellers.
Indeed, India has so many places one could explore in July. Kerala, ‘God's Own Country,’ for instance transforms into an emerald haven during the monsoon. Ayurvedic treatments and spa retreats become even more rejuvenating with the soothing sound of rain in the background. As for outbound travel, St. Moritz, Switzerland is the place to go, we have covered it for you. So this July, let Exotica guide you through it all, as it has cuisine, travel, culture, and much more lined up for you, giving you enough reason to step out of your home. Have faith, the rain will water your soul as it does the fields. So, venture out. But don’t forget to take your umbrella along.
