How wet is the monsoon in July/August in South India?

What areas of India would consider to be the safest during the monsoon season?

  • I did a search on google " monsoon related deaths" and could not believe the numbers of deaths in india during monsoon season (over 600!) Is that the average amount per ...show more

  • Answer:

    Safest ( not only in the monsoon aspect ) is Ladakh and the other areas beyond the monsoon shadow in the Himalayas. In the foothills on the way there you see alot of rain , and living in Dharamsala at this time means accepting that clothes basically never really dry. There are compensations , views are stunning in the clear air after the rain, and sharing umbrellas.. On the dramatic side , roads do go out from time to time : not a a major danger , but you need to allow time margins. This is said after you accept the realities of Indian traffic : India has 1% of the planets cars ..and 10 % of the death casualties. In some extremes monsoon affects trains and planes as well : in ´05 I arrived in Shimla by the first train in a long while after a flash flood had taken out a stretch of the tracks and a station house, and I think it was two years back it was impossible to land in Mumbai , who had a foot or so of water on the runways for a short while .

Go for the northern areas - they get less rain. Rajasthan is great. This is also a good time to see areas inaccessible other times of the year, like Ganga springs etc.

Dear Leira In India 100s of rivers are growing their areas in Monsoon. The mostly deaths of monsoon season in rural areas where people lives nearby rivers area. So, don’t bother about every place in India in monsoon. Sometimes it is natural sometimes human made just like previous years river from Nepal having too much water. The Nepali Government can’t manage and release water from Dam, result thousands of hector of area in Bihar district situated at the border from Nepal surviving under flood. India is a big and well growing country. Please a visit without any hesitation. You feel good here.

you dont hav to worry about this till u come to india. we people here are used to such situations. politicians here, do not focus on issues related with normal health. but they keep discussing them for eternity.... if u r planning to come and roam in india. i wil suggest u to visit RAJASTHAN {its beautiful area to visit}, KONKAN REGION {maharashtra}, and dont try to roam in the line of GANGA RIVER during monsoon, its terrible there. south of india is also better option. so basically u hv to focus on travelling in hilly areas. best luck. india is incredible, beautiful. dont go on wht people write and not even on statistics. to feel india's beauty u hv to come here. welcome to india.

1 billion people out of which 600millions living in rural areas...mostly living illegally on river banks or unsafe constructed buildings...if 600 or say 6000 people died then it is very very small number to put it it is negligible.... u know why flood happen coz some of the dams can not be made due to neighbour countries poking in our matter other coz of poor policy
