Planning your own monsoon outing<\/h2>\n

Let the photographs inspire an outing, then check conditions for the place and date you actually plan to visit. A beautiful storm photograph is not evidence that a route, beach or viewpoint is safe today.<\/p>\n

Check India Meteorological Department forecasts and warnings<\/a> and its flood and thunderstorm precautions<\/a>. Follow local closures and avoid going into the open to photograph lightning. Protect your camera from rain, and photograph people with their consent.<\/p>\n

For trip ideas, browse monsoon destinations in India<\/a> and our monsoon trekking and backpacking guide<\/a>. Check current route restrictions before making plans from any seasonal guide.<\/p>\n

Can I reuse these photographs?<\/h3>\n
