Travel Tip for the Monsoons

Monsoons lead to water logging and cause delays in rail, road and air schedules. In hilly areas, land slides and road blocks might keep you stranded for a couple of days. While travelling during the monsoons in India, always keep a buffer of a few days in your holiday plan.
