The landscape is exceptionally green and vibrant after the rains. The peak monsoon months, from June to August, experience heavy rainfall which can disrupt travel and outdoor activities.

The best time to visit is from September to February. During this period, the monsoon has subsided, leaving behind lush green landscapes and waterfalls with ample water. The weather is cool and pleasant, ideal for trekking and sightseeing. For those who want to see the waterfalls at their most powerful, the monsoon months of July and August are the peak time.

Multiple days

Salaulim Dam

Goa, Goa

An impressive dam in South Goa known for its unique duckbill spillway that creates a stunning circular waterfall during the monsoon, set amidst a botanical garden.

The best time to visit Salaulim Dam is from July to October. During these monsoon months, the reservoir is full, and you can witness the main attraction: water dramatically overflowing from the duckbill spillway. The surrounding landscape is also lush and green. The winter months from November to February are pleasant for a picnic in the gardens, but you are unlikely to see the overflow. Summers (March to May) are hot and not ideal for a visit.

Khir Ganga

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

A scenic 12 km trek in Parvati Valley leading to a meadow with natural hot water springs and incredible Himalayan views.

The ideal time to do the Khir Ganga trek is from March to June and then again from September to November. During these months, the weather is pleasant for trekking, with clear skies offering great views. Summer (May-June) is peak season. Avoid the monsoon (July-August) due to heavy rainfall, which makes the trail slippery and dangerous. Winter (December-February) sees heavy snowfall, often closing the trail completely.

Multiple days

Cumbarjua Canal

Goa, Goa

Explore Goa's backwaters on the Cumbarjua Canal, a mangrove-lined channel famous for its wild crocodile population and unique boat safaris.

The best period to visit is from October to May. During these months, the weather is dry and pleasant, making boat rides comfortable. The chances of spotting crocodiles are higher as they come out to bask on the riverbanks in the sun. The monsoon months, from June to September, should be avoided as heavy rainfall can lead to the cancellation of boat trips and the crocodiles are harder to spot.

2-3 hours

Zuari River

Goa, Goa

Explore Goa's largest river, known for its mangrove-lined banks, diverse birdlife, crocodile safaris, and scenic backwater cruises.

October to May is the best period to experience the Zuari River. During these months, the weather is dry and pleasant, making for comfortable boat rides. This is also the prime season for birdwatching, as many migratory species are present. The summer months of April and May can be hot but are still viable. It is advisable to avoid the monsoon season from June to September, as heavy rains can lead to the suspension of boat tours.

2-3 hours

Sethan Valley

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

A high-altitude village near Manali, known for its winter snow activities like snowboarding, igloo stays, and as a base for the Hampta Pass trek.

For snow and winter sports, the best time to visit is from December to March when the valley is completely covered in snow. For trekking and enjoying green landscapes, visit from mid-June to early October. Avoid the peak monsoon months of July and August, as the road can be prone to landslides. The weather is cold throughout the year, with winter temperatures dropping well below freezing.

2-3 hours

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

A famous high-altitude pass near Manali, known for its stunning Himalayan views, snow activities, and the scenic but challenging road journey.

September and October offer the clearest post-monsoon skies with stunning mountain views and less crowd. The pass remains completely inaccessible from November to May due to heavy snowfall and extreme weather conditions.
