Best places to Visit India in the Month of August
India in August

August in India is the monsoon season when the south-west monsoon is active from June to September. Temperature is high, but not like in May and June, more like low as 30° C and the monsoon barely effect, as rains are short and quick, so overall weather remains pleasant in most parts of the country.

If you love the rains this is the time to travel as everything is lush green. Kerala is beautiful in the rains but rains the maximum there so plan only if you love getting wet. Visiting Rajasthan would be great as it doesn’t have much rainfall, has got a lot of awesome forts and palaces.

Goa is more beautiful in rains as everything is washed up and scenic. The weather in August is very similar to that of July, with warm temperatures throughout the month with a lot of scenic beauty for you to enjoy.

Usual beach/adventure sports activities are not allowed in the sea during monsoon but if you love rain then biking in drizzles is a lot of fun. The rates of basic facilities like hotels, resorts, and bikes are cheaper in August and are less crowded as it is non-peak time. So if you love monsoon and love getting drenched in the rain then Goa is a perfect spot for you to visit in the month of August.
