Doodhpathri, Kashmir

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

A vast meadow in Kashmir known as the 'Valley of Milk', featuring lush green pastures, a flowing river, and stunning mountain views.

The best time to visit Doodhpathri is from May to September. During these months, the weather is pleasant, with lush green meadows and clear skies. This is the ideal time for picnics, trekking, and pony rides. From late October, the weather starts getting cold, and from December to March, the valley is covered in heavy snow, often making the roads inaccessible. The spring season (April-May) is beautiful with blooming wildflowers, while the autumn season (September-October) offers a different landscape with golden-hued grasses.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Pulwama

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

Explore Pulwama, the 'Rice Bowl of Kashmir,' known for its vast saffron fields, apple orchards, and serene countryside just south of Srinagar.

The best time to visit Pulwama is from September to November. During this autumn period, the weather is pleasant, the rice fields turn golden, and the apple harvest is in full swing. Most importantly, the saffron fields of Pampore bloom with purple flowers, creating a unique and beautiful sight. Spring, from March to May, is also a good time, with pleasant weather and blossoming orchards. Avoid the harsh winter months from December to February when heavy snowfall can cause road closures.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Lolab Valley

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir

A tranquil, egg-shaped valley in North Kashmir known for its lush green meadows, apple orchards, and dense pine forests, offering a peek into rural life.

The ideal time to visit Lolab Valley is from May to September. During these months, the weather is pleasant, and the valley is at its greenest. The meadows are full of life, and the orchards are either flowering or bearing fruit. This period is perfect for sightseeing and light treks. Winter, from December to February, covers the valley in snow, offering a different kind of beauty, but access can be difficult due to road closures.

Full day (6-8 hours)

Double-Decker Bridge

Shillong, Meghalaya

A unique two-tiered bridge grown from living tree roots, accessible via a challenging 3,500-step trek through the forests near Cherrapunji.

The best time to visit is from October to May. During these months, the weather is pleasant, and the trail is relatively dry and safer to navigate. The post-monsoon period (October-November) offers lush green scenery and full waterfalls. Winter (December-February) provides cool weather and clear skies. Avoid the peak monsoon season (June to September) as heavy rains can make the steps extremely slippery and the trek hazardous, though the landscape is at its most dramatic.

Full day (6-8 hours)

Mawlynnong

Shillong, Meghalaya

Explore Mawlynnong, acclaimed as Asia's cleanest village, known for its community-based ecotourism, living root bridges, and unique Khasi culture.

The best time to visit Mawlynnong is from October to April. During these months, the weather is pleasant and dry, making it ideal for walking around and exploring. The post-monsoon period from October to December offers lush green landscapes. While the monsoon season (June to September) showcases the region's beauty in full bloom with active waterfalls, heavy rainfall can cause travel disruptions and make pathways slippery. Summers (March to May) are warm but manageable.

2-3 hours

Ziro Valley, Arunachal Pradesh

Shillong, Arunachal Pradesh

A scenic valley in Arunachal Pradesh, home to the Apatani tribe and their unique paddy-cum-fish cultivation system, a UNESCO World Heritage tentative site.

The ideal time to visit Ziro Valley is from late September to October. The monsoon recedes, leaving the rice paddies a brilliant green, and the weather is cool and clear. This period also hosts the famous Ziro Festival of Music. Another good time is from March to May when the weather is pleasant and the flowers are in bloom. Avoid the heavy monsoon season from June to early September, as roads can be prone to landslides. Winters (November to February) are very cold, but offer clear skies.

Multiple days

Dawki

Cherrapunji, Meghalaya

Experience boating on the remarkably clear Umngot River in Dawki, a border town offering unique views of the riverbed and the India-Bangladesh border.

The best time to visit is from October to April. The post-monsoon months of November and December are ideal, as the river is calm and the water is at its clearest, offering the famous transparent views. The weather is pleasant and dry during this period. It is best to avoid the monsoon season, from June to September, when heavy rainfall makes the river water muddy and the currents strong, often leading to the suspension of boating activities.

2-3 hours

Kameng River

Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh

A major Himalayan river in Arunachal Pradesh, famous for its stunning blue-green waters, deep gorges, and world-class white-water rafting opportunities.

The best time to visit the Kameng River is from October to April. During these post-monsoon and winter months, the weather is pleasant, the skies are clear, and the river's water level is stable and ideal for adventure sports like rafting and kayaking. The monsoon season, from June to September, should be avoided as the river becomes dangerously swollen and the risk of landslides on the roads is high.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Mawsynram

Cherrapunji, Meghalaya

Experience the world's highest rainfall in this lush Meghalayan village, famous for its unique cave formations and the constant presence of clouds and mist.

The best time to visit depends on your goal. To experience the peak monsoon and see Mawsynram in its rainiest glory, visit between June and September. For more pleasant weather, clearer skies, and lush post-monsoon greenery, the months from October to May are ideal. During this period, temperatures are comfortable, and travel is easier as the risk of road blockages from landslides is lower. The waterfalls are still full just after the monsoon ends in October and November.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Laitmawsiang, Meghalaya

Cherrapunji, Meghalaya

Explore a community-preserved network of natural caves, waterfalls, and lush trails in the village of Laitmawsiang, near Cherrapunji.

The best period to visit is from late September to May. The post-monsoon months, from September to November, are ideal as the landscape is exceptionally green and the waterfalls are full. The winter season, from December to February, offers clear skies and pleasant weather for walking. Summer, from March to May, is also a good time, though it can get warm during the day. It is best to avoid the peak monsoon season from June to August, as heavy rainfall makes the paths very slippery and unsafe for exploration.

2-3 hours

Sela Pass

Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh

A high-altitude mountain pass at 13,700 feet, featuring the beautiful Sela Lake and offering dramatic Himalayan views on the way to Tawang.

The best time to visit Sela Pass is from April to May and from October to November. During these months, the weather is relatively stable, with clear skies offering excellent views of the Himalayas. The roads are generally open and accessible. Winter, from December to March, sees heavy snowfall which can lead to road closures, although the landscape is exceptionally beautiful. The monsoon season, from July to September, should be avoided due to heavy rains, fog, and the risk of landslides.

1 hour

Dandeli, Karnataka

A riverside nature park near Dandeli offering bamboo groves, picnic spots, and water activities like boating and kayaking on the Kali River.

The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is cool and pleasant, making it ideal for outdoor and water activities. The water levels in the river are stable during these months.
