Monsoon In Kerala – Why visit Kerala during monsoon season?
Monsoon is a personal nostalgia for everyone in Kerala. The black clouds over the Western Ghats shower down spreading joy and positivity. The smell of moistened earth, puddles of water with paper boats floating and the rich green surroundings are bliss to your eyes. Kerala being a tropical state, the rain dances down to the land during June – September.
Waking up to the drizzling music to the rain accompanied by the dewy lush green nature enveloped in a sheen of mist is a dreamy sight to behold. The mother earth opens her womb for tender buds to peek their heads out of the earth. The joyous time for farmers to sow their prosperity to be harvested later. The monsoon has a different vibe in every landscape you visit in Kerala. You are welcomed by the lush green hills stations garlanded by the clouds, the brimming rivers cascade down the mountains forming gushing mighty waterfalls and the clear glistening backwaters.
Monsoon is not the season to confine your soul in raincoats and burying yourself within the four walls of your home. Enjoy the rhythm of the raindrops when they touch you while reliving your childhood by sailing paper boats on the muddy puddles. There was a time, come June the seasons of school opening where you buy vibrant umbrellas, reach your classes half drenched by the naughty rain, and returning home in the evening completely unrecognizable after a puddle jumping.
