Experience the magical monsoon (July-September), with the serene beauty of the mountains, breathe in the fresh, rain-kissed air, and let the tranquil pace of slow travel rejuvenate your soul.
Autumn (September-November) is the ideal time to make the most of the nearby treks. The mountains are slowly turning brown from green and you can witness the 50 shades of orange all across the valley.
