Monsoon Season in Karnataka
Monsoon season in Karnataka lasts from July through September. The region receives about 143 inches of average rainfall annually. Once travelers can go past thunderstorms and hard-to-access roads, hill stations in the Western Ghats are really scenic and atmospheric during a downpour. Mountain streams flow with full power before tumbling over forested hills as spectacular waterfalls.
The eastern parts of Karnataka are a little drier as it gets less rainfall. Although the monsoon season is a bit humid in Karnataka, it brings in lots of heavy showers and thunderstorms from the month of July to September. Monsoon is the best season to visit Karnataka for those looking to catch a glimpse of the exotic flora and fauna of wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka.

The trip was overall good. The arrangements done, were very good. I was pretty satisfied with the resort Palm Era which was booked for us. The only negative i can think of was, too many places covered in itenary. I had requested the agent to have couple of visits in a day but it exceeded to almost 4 places everyday. Though it only added to our experience but the scheduled was a bit hectic for a vacation.

Nicely planned trip by VFM travels and Travel Triangle. Coorg is a beautiful place and we stayed in a lovely Jungle camp backwater resort. Driver provided to us was also nice and helpful. Stay at Jungle camp backwater resort. It was a complete surprise.

This being my 3rd trip planned with Travel Triangle, I feel TT reduces so much of headache that goes into planning. The trip was completely hassle-free . The driver was very co-operative and nice. Once the trip starts, you absolutely don't have to worry about anything. Only one thing I would like TT to improve is to help reduce the to and fro communication between the requirements and the suggestions. It would be better if all the required details are asked in the first go itself.

We were so excited after reaching mysore.Driver was very friendly and guided us through many interesting places. Had enough time to visit every place. Hotels were neat and clean. Good food was served at the hotel. Memorable trip. We enjoyed well.
