Another long weekend is not far. But It is really difficult to find the most suitable place at this time. It would be rainy at most of the places. Hills must not be preferred, neither the places where rain will make the environment humid.
\nThough we believe that if you accept the rain and soak yourself in the water, you would amaze your with the charm of Rains.
\nValley of Flower<\/a><\/strong> (Uttarakhand): \u00a0Valley with thousands of different type of flowers is a treat\u00a0for nature lovers. It does not charm\u00a0before rain and plants\u00a0do not enjoy winters much, but rains bring the best of the valley. Every plant is decorated with many flowers and entire valley is charmed with millions of such plants. The world seems most beautiful place as soon as your enter the valley in Rain.<\/span>
\nIt is the best place for solo trip or with friends. It is not recommended for family. Check the following link to know more about it.

\nKhajuraho <\/a>\u2013 Orchcha (<\/b>Madhya Pradesh)<\/b>: A sleeping town Khajuraho looks promising during the rains. Rainfall not only reduces temperature but also fills you with love for masterful art.<\/span>
\nArchitecturally beautiful Khajuraho with historical wonder Orchcha in Madhya Pradesh.
\nIn the temple architecture of India, the Khajuraho complex remains unique. The erotic carvings that swathe Khajuraho\u2019s three groups of World Heritage\u2013listed temples are among the finest temple art in the world. The Western Group of temples, in particular, contains some stunning sculptures.
\nThis historic village on the banks of the boulder-strewn Betwa River showcases some fabulous architecture similar to that of nearby Khajuraho, albeit without such high-quality artistry. The atmosphere in Orchha, though, is far more laid-back and hassle-free, which makes for a relaxing stay.

\nDalhausi\u00a0<\/b>(<\/strong>Himachal Pradesh)<\/strong><\/a>:\u00a0Dalhousie is a quiet hill station with little night life, best suited for people who want to de-stress, who like the quiet, serene atmosphere, and for honeymooners, ideal for long walks picnics and treks. It is not recommended for people who want discos, malls and multiplexes. While there is plenty to do, see and experience, Dalhousie exudes an old-world charm.

\nShimla<\/a><\/strong> (Himachal Pradesh)<\/strong>: The former summer capital of the British in India, and the present capital of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla has been blessed with all the natural bounties which one can think of.

\nJaipur (<\/strong>Rajasthan)<\/strong>:\u00a0The Pink city\u2019s colourful, chaotic streets ebb and flow with a heady brew of old and new. At the city\u2019s heart, the City Palace continues to house the former royal family; the Jantar Mantar, the royal observatory, maintains a heavenly aspect; and the honeycomb Hawa Mahal gazes on the bazaar below. And just out of sight, in the arid hill country surrounding the city, is the fairy-tale grandeur of Amber Fort. Nahargarh fort would be most enjoyable in this season.<\/span>
