Most tourists from all over the globe wrap up plans for trips way ahead for the bright and beautiful days of winter to explore India’s royal desert state. But now there’s a growing number of itinerant visitors who have discovered its wonders in the monsoon season, setting a fresh trend for “Monsoon Tourism”.
