South and South-East Asia during Monsoons

South and South-East Asia during Monsoons

Monsoons can be a great time to explore South and South-East Asia considering the fact that the prices are low and the scenic beauty increases manyfold. These are things you can do in South and South-East Asia during monsoons. We have shortlisted these destinations based on two criteria: 1. Some of these places remain drier in comparison to the other parts of Asia, thereby rendering them fit for travel during monsoon. 2. The rain enhances the beauty of some of these places.
