The mountains are just magical during the monsoon. Clouds drift coolly over lush pine-covered slopes, raindrops sparkle on every leaf, and a soft mist rolls down the valley covering everything in a quiet, romantic luster. If you are asking yourself if July is a good time to go, take it from us – Solang Valley in July is a fairy-tale.
Solang Valley is known for its snow adventures in winter and for its thrill-seeking sports in summer but during the rains, it is in an entirely different mood – cool, green, and refreshingly quiet.
There are a few reasons why monsoon might be a traveler’s best-kept secret for beauty, peace and the best mountain experience ever.
1. Solang Valley in July: Nature at its Most Green
Once the first rains come to the valley, everything changes. The hills become deep green, the river flows with more force, and even the air feels new. Every rainy season brings some softness to Solang Valley, an ideal time for long walks, photography, or just taking in the beauty of nature from your balcony!
In July, the temperatures are typically between 12′ C to 20′ C, not too cold to enjoy a hot cup of tea with a blanket and not too hot that you would not want to explore, plus even a little rain always brings a little magic to spending time in the mountains.
