Monsoon season (June-September) can be challenging for digital nomads, but with the right preparation, it can also be magical and incredibly affordable.
The Upside of Monsoons
Accommodation prices drop by 40-60%, tourist crowds disappear, and the landscapes become incredibly lush and green. If you can handle some rain, this is the best time for budget travelers.
Best Monsoon Destinations
Head to Rajasthan where rainfall is minimal, or explore the Western Ghats for stunning waterfall views. Avoid coastal areas like Goa where many businesses close.
Staying Productive
Power cuts are more common during storms, so always have backup power banks and a mobile data plan. Choose accommodations with generators and inverters.
Health Precautions
Mosquito-borne diseases spike during monsoon. Use repellent, sleep under nets, and consider antimalarial medication for high-risk areas.
