Places to visit near Bangalore in July
July is a monsoon month, and none of the places we plan is in its usual best season. The green hills are the reason to travel, and the rain is the thing to plan around.
July in South India
July is the heart of the monsoon. Coorg, Wayanad, Chikkamagaluru and Sakleshpur are lush, and waterfalls are flowing strongly. It is a month for scenery and slow trips, not for long sightseeing days.
Rain is heavy, landslides can close some ghat roads, and trekking and boating may be suspended. If you travel, choose a short drive, a covered stay and flexible dates, and check road and park notices before you set out.
