With its spectacular monsoon destinations, India is sure to change your perspective on the enchanting rainy season. There are so many wonderful places to explore during this time, so be sure to visit as many as you can. Some of the best places to visit in India during the monsoon are:

    UDAIPUR

    Planning a tour of Udaipur will be the right choice to witness the natural beauty during the rainy season. There are many things to do in Udaipur to make beautiful memories with loved ones. So, if you are keen to explore the City of Lakes, follow your heart and also the suggestions mentioned:

    City Palace: Perched on the banks of Lake Pichola, the City Palace is a sprawling complex of palaces built over 400 years.

    Lake Pichola: A boat ride on Lake Pichola, especially during sunset, makes the monsoon experience even more magical with the cool breeze and the gentle rain.

    Jag Mandir: An island palace in the middle of Lake Pichola, Jag Mandir is a stunning example of the Rajput architecture style.

    Saheliyon ki Bari: A historical garden created for the queen and her maidens, Saheliyon ki Bari is a green oasis with fountains, lotus pools and marble pavilions.

    Monsoon Palace: Also known as Sajjangarh Palace, this hilltop retreat offers panoramic views of Udaipur and its surroundings.

    Fateh Sagar Lake: Another beautiful lake, the Fateh Sagar Lake is surrounded by hills and offers a tranquil boating experience.

    JAIPUR

    Jaipur during the monsoons is not just pleasant, but also extremely beautiful. Drenched in rain, Jaipur looks nothing short of a painting during the monsoons. Not only does the entire state wears a refreshed look, but the ambient weather definitely makes for some spectacular sightseeing. Make the most of Jaipur by ensuring you visit the following places:

    Jal Mahal: Known as the Water Palace, Jal Mahal is placed in the middle of the Man Sagar lake. Undoubtedly, it is an amazing place to revel in the romance of rains.

    Nahargarh Fort: Drive off to Nahargarh fort on a rainy day, and the verdant greenery and picturesque moments along the route are something that will stay with you forever.

    Chandlai Lake: Often referred to as the “hidden lake” it’s in Sitapura in Jaipur. The lake is quite scenic during the monsoons with the dry forests and hills ringing around it.

    Chand Baori: An architectural marvel, it’s India’s largest stepwell with 13 floors and 3,500 steps. The rains add to the pristine beauty of this place where nature sways at is glorious best.

    COCHIN

    While Wayanad and Munnar are all-time favourites of the people who love nature, Cochin holds its own beauty. And this serenity brims out when the monsoon hits this surreal city of Kerala. This time of the year the land adorned with all the greenery becomes more beautiful after getting drenched in the rain. While there are various reasons to experience monsoon in Kochi, but these heritage attractions will make you pack your bags right away and witness the beauty of the Dutch architecture while enjoying the first drops of rain:

    Willingdon Island: Located between the Ernakulam jetty and Kochi Port, this island is a perfect retreat for the people who want to see the crystal clear water and the ships de-boarding at the ports during monsoon.

    The Dutch Palace: Adorned with extensively manicured gardens, this is one of the best places to visit during monsoon in Cochin.

    Fort Kochi: Fort Kochi has preserved the remnants of all European and Dutch architectures which includes churches and other heritage buildings.

    CHENNAI

    Chennai is one of the most famous tourist spots in India and boasts of immense natural beauty. Although you will find a lot of greenery around, life in the city can become really hectic.
