Thinking of visiting the mountains during the monsoon instead of summer? You might end up wasting your travel money. Why? Because during the rainy season, there's a high risk of landslides and cloud bursts in the mountains. So, if you're planning a trip to a hill station, now is the perfect time – because as soon as the monsoon arrives, landslides, traffic jams, and road closures become common in these hilly states. Therefore, this window until the beginning of June is perfect for a relaxing and safe trip.

Here are 5 amazing hill stations you should explore before the monsoon:

1. Auli, Uttarakhand – Transition from Snow to Greenery
  • Auli is famous not only for skiing but also for its green valleys and tranquil weather.
  • From April to June, the weather here is perfectly cool and clear.
  • During the monsoon, this area is often closed due to heavy rain and landslides.
  • Must-see: Gorson Bugyal, Trishul Peak, View Point. 
2. Chopta, Uttarakhand – Mini Switzerland of India
