August in the Garhwal, What the Monsoon Gives
August is a time of year when the Garhwal Himalayas are vibrant with the most vitality of creation. And if you come to visit, with your eyes wide open and without any preconceived ideas about the Himalayas, you will find that the mountains are alive in a way that you cannot experience when viewed against a backdrop of clean skies or other sanitary conditions.
