Why Monsoons are the best time to visit Mountains
I have personally felt that its not really that attractive without the sun when you are at the mountains during the monsoons, because the sunset, sunrise and the colours that they bring to the landscape is just mesmerizing. However, if you love the foreplay and the climax that the clouds bring to the whole scenario, I don't think there's a better time to see the mountains (minus the snow) except when it rains.
Here's a little glimpse of the recent road trip to Ranipokhari, Marchula and Manila, lesser known towns in Uttarakhand that Rajat, Raju Bhaiya and I toured in a Chevrolet Beat. That car is a serious fun to zip around the mountains and it definitely befits all photographs.
Reason #1 : You call it heaven or you call it cotton spread all around you, but I bet you cant take your eyes off because the scenes change every DAMN second.

Reason #4 : You get good cover images and display pictures for your social media profiles, especially if your pictures are candid/natural.
Rajat! Thank you!! |
Reason #5 : It becomes densely green, like REALLY REALLY GREEN. The mountains, since they get a pretty heavy rainfall, grow so much of grass that their surface color can beat any flat green landscape from any valley hands down.
Reason #6 : Mist. I love Mist. Even the word 'Mist' Its invokes such a sense of mystery over my head that I count it as one of nature's best gifts to our senses. Below is a picture from Haridwar, see that strip of white beyond those cars?
Reason #7 : Cloud Games. A little bit of sunlight and you get shots that make you remember movies like Independence Day or Edge of Tomorrow.
Reason #8 : Water! Its creepily attractive and it wants you to get in. It is so compelling to touch that cold water flowing at an extreme speed but no, its a Trap. DO NOT RISK IT.
Reason #9 : Fog. I have no words. Absolutely stunning and forcing you for a stroll in the woods, single or with your loved ones. I personally want to be fog and vanish. That would be my ideal end!!
Reason #10 : The Sun! It becomes all the more desirable. Whether its an early morning....
....or a late evening
I dont really feel a need to conclude this post. I can write sad messages about people not really being one with nature, my hate for human beings and all negative stuff or else I can write a short little essay on how man is going back to his roots eventually, back to that uncivilized natural world that he has forgotten, but No! I am choosing to wander off again! Any additions to this post are welcome!
