Monsoon in Kerala is one of the most beautiful times. The cool air, wind and the deluge!  Welcome to a time of rejoicing and renewal. Monsoon is such a phenomenon so invigorating and exalting that it has inspired artists for centuries.

 

Travel with us to enjoy the burst and swell of the rains. As the Monsoon approaches, you begin to feel elated, even slightly intoxicated.

May be it has something to do with charged  particles in the air, may be it is because the fragrance of flowers...The arrival of the monsoon itself is quite magnificent. It comes towards you like an orchestra and, not surprisingly, has inspired some of our loveliest music, ragas which evoke distant thunder and falling rain.

Watch how the monsoon bursts lead to streams and rivers all around you. Welcome to Kerala -Where the rain is born!
