HAVE YOU TRIED VISITING DARJEELING & GANGTOK DURING MONSOON?

DALLE CHILLI PICKLE

A narrative has so long been set in our mind as October till March as the best time to visit Hill stations might change if you fancy your chance to explore the destinations graved at the foothills of the Himalayas during the season of monsoon. The gentle deluge soaking the land evenly spreading the essence of earthy scent is a different glimpse altogether that most travellers tend to miss while trying to catch the rush of spring, summer, and months after autumn.

ASSEMBLAGE OF NATURE

After a substantial stay of summer, the monsoon cloud starts hovering around the sky to quench the thirst of the land to display the lush greenery the hill station has in store. The brilliant downpours drench the mountain, refreshing the beauty and the birth of springs from the dense woods and elevations indiscriminately overhaul the brilliance of the valley, alleviating its splendour to add freshness to the air.

The rhythm of drizzles when it collides with the surface not just leaves the land with an inalienable joy but the pleasant tune fills the ear with a distinct euphoria of music played solely by nature to amuse the locals. The spree of cascading waterfalls making its way to the mouth of rivers bending and breaking through the gorge has a distinct roaring sound that can only be felt if you plan a visit to hill stations during the season of monsoon.

Fine-tune of Clouds Intertwined With a Dense of Fog

The saturated clouds with rainfalls bring one of a kind view of the valley which is overwhelmed by a thick blanket of clouds and in a level field, a misty spray of dense delightful fog adorns the land sprinkling moisture of freshness.

Picturesque Landscape

If summer was a mirror to bask in a promised land of beauty then the monsoon is a reflection of how the image is supposed to be. The continuous downpour clears the pollution contaminated in the air exposing a crystal clear view of the valley surmounted by lush greenery which definitely is a sight to behold.
