India’s monsoon season is now the most popular travel period, with Shillong and Wayanad leading the surge in bookings.
India’s monsoon season has emerged as the country’s most sought‑after travel period, according to recent booking data. The latest figures show that hill stations in Meghalaya’s Shillong and Kerala’s Wayanad are topping the list of destinations with the highest number of reservations. Travelers are attracted by the region’s lush green scenery and cooler temperatures, which offer a refreshing alternative to the hotter summer months. The trend highlights a shift in tourist preferences, with more people choosing monsoon trips over traditional summer or winter holidays.
