Monsoon in India is however, much more than that.
Be it the city streets full of kids splashing water over one another and playing with paper boats, or the teenagers wading through knee deep waters, monsoon is meant to be enjoyed by everyone.
The earth itself seems to rejoice when it gets drenched by continuous downpours, with the lush green leaves smiling and the tress dancing to the movements of the breeze.
The intoxicating smell of the wet earth is so rejuvenating that monsoon season in India is the most welcomed season after months of scorching heat.
The beauty of the country becomes much more serene, something which is not meant to be missed.
Accordingly, monsoon can be a great time to visit India as the destinations are not over crowded and airfares are also comparatively low.
An entire gamut of monsoon packages is also available, which are attractively priced and can be availed to enjoy this season at the destination of your choice.
Most frequented monsoon destinations include 'Gods own city' Kerala, where the season is at its best.
The silhouette of setting sun, the peacefulness and the tranquility of the atmosphere will rejuvenate your mind and relax your senses.
A stroll alongside the beaches will prove to be much more relaxing than long sessions of meditation.
Other beach destinations include Goa, which promises a number of spectacular scenery to explore and vibrant monsoon festivals to take part in.
Monsoon is also a season ideal for Ayurveda treatments, as the environment is moist and dust free.
Goa and various destinations in southern parts of India also provide for excellent ayurvedic therapy which can prove to be relaxing and refreshing.
