The intoxicating smell of the earth, once it is drenched in the first rains is just an unexplainable. The sight of children frolicking in the rain, splashing water and sailing tiny paper boats is sure to bring a smile to almost anyone’s face. This along with the cool winds is a blessing, after enduring the hot sun for months, during summer.

With the monsoons in the air and rainbows in the sky, the outskirts of Mumbai and the hill stations around them, are the best places to take in the change and enjoy the brilliance of the rains. This is a fantastic time to go out with your family and immerse yourself in the sheer beauty of nature.

This being said, one of the best options available is the hill station of Lonavala. Here you can enjoy the beautiful views Mother Nature has to offer, standing at the peak of places like Tiger Point, looking down at the clouds beneath you. At times you will find yourself in the midst of the clouds, and this will make you feel a sense of serenity like no other.

People tend to come from far off places to Lonavala, to feel the amazing sensation the monsoons have to offer. From the brilliant views to getting soaked under the waterfalls of the Bhushi Dam, the atmosphere in Lonavala is at its absolute best during the monsoons. While going through the various Lonavala packages offered by the travel companies, make sure you pick the one that gives you the chance to experience the town at its very best.

The rains manage to refresh people and leave them happy and relaxed. It seems to uplift the joy that everyone has hidden deep within them, the same joy which is crushed by the tension created by jobs and the constant buzz of the city. The phrase ‘back with a bang’ can uncompromisingly be used to describe the effect the Indian Monsoons has on the people. So go on, book your trip, to celebrate the arrival of the monsoons and prepare to be completely refreshed.
