Wetter is better: 6 reasons Kausani Village is best for a monsoon trip

“Kausani is… romantic, impressionist and surreal. All in a day”

When it’s time for the summer monsoon in the hills, tourists empty out. That’s the time for you to get in. Hills during the summer rainy season between June and September feel like a whole other place. When the monsoon finally arrives, it is a welcome and grand spectacle.

Apart from bringing down temperatures, the monsoon also lowers room rates for travelers, turning The Buransh into a great off-season destination. You’ve just got to endure getting a tiny bit wet.

The Drive

The drive from Kathgodam to Kausani itself is breathtaking, add to that the undulating Kumaon hills and the spectacular view of the greenery, you’ve for yourself a holiday of perfectly quiet ambiance.

Monsoon in a teacup

From July to September, it’s high cropping time at Kausani’s tea estates when the hillsides look fresh and green. Early morning fog covers Kausani in a beautiful haze and gives it a mysterious quality. Take a tea-tasting tour and experience how teas differ from hill to hill.

The Buransh offers a splendid high tea place called Great Bites, an elegant glass-walled restaurant that’s great for a bite and a hot cuppa. The property offers a variety of herbal teas for the guests’ enjoyment.
