Himalayan hill stations that turn romantic in September; no rain only rainbows!

September is the month of romance amid wildflowers! And what’s better than exploring the stunning the Himalayan hill station which is pure magic because this is the time when the monsoon clouds have drifted away, leaving behind washed fresh and green! Sounds romantic, right?
You’ll be amazed to see postcard-worthy views of snow-covered peaks which shine like gold with sunshine. Rivers run full and bright, adding to the natural beauty.
On this note, let’s have a look at some of the most incredible Himalayan getaways that truly glow with romance in September. A closer look:

2/8

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

Manali is splendid in September. It brings fresh greenery after the monsoon magic, making the scenery incredibly photogenic. The Beas River flows in full flow, ideal for riverside strolls. Expect occasional rains which only makes the ‘mahaul’ more romantic!

3/8

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

Manali in September is nothing short of enchanting. The post-monsoon freshness paints the valley in lush greenery, turning every corner into a photographer’s dream. The Beas River gushes with renewed energy, perfect for peaceful riverside walks. Occasional showers may surprise you, but they only add to the ‘mahaul,’ making the atmosphere all the more romantic.

4/8

Gangtok, Sikkim

September transforms Gangtok into refreshing green beauty and the roaring waterfalls only add to the whole romantic ambience. The Enchey Monastery and Tashi Viewpoint look romantic in drifting clouds. The air smells crisp and clean during this time.

5/8

Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh


Tawang, not exactly romantic, but is beautiful in September. Tawang’s monasteries stand in striking contrast to the green valleys and waterfalls along the route from Bomdila to Tawang are at their most dramatic. You wouldn’t want to leave the place ever!

6/8

Darjeeling, West Bengal


Darjeeling’s tea gardens sparkle with fresh green in September. The occasional drifting of clouds create dramatic views of the hills. Do not miss out on the UNESCO Toy Train ride through misty tracks. It feels like a journey to Hogwarts from the Harry Potter movies!

7/8

Mussoorie, Uttarakhand

Head to Mussoorie if you are looking for a romantic escape in the hills. The place turns magical under September mist. Visit Landour’s colonial cafes which smell of freshly brewed coffees and bakery products. A September visit ensures serene walks with fewer tourists.

8/8

Nainital, Uttarakhand


The region surrounding Nainital’s Naini Lake reflect the rain-kissed hills beautifully in September. The weather is cosy and pleasant adding a romantic touch to boat rides and short treks. The cafes here are a warm shelter during light occasional drizzles, making the whole experience even more charming and memorable.
