9. You won’t just see the tourist spots but real scenes from the place.
Traveling in the off-season is great for someone who intends to gather experiences rather than a few postcard pictures. When you visit a place in the off-season, you’ll actually see it raw and real, the way it is. You get to see the problems faced by the locals and the ways they get around it. Like for instance, how do the people of Pin Valley manage to stay disconnected from the world for six months when it snows? How do the people of Sikkim manage the incessant rains on the mountains and the really, really bad roads? When you see and understand their problems, you’ll be amazed by the wonders that our country has and trust me, you’ll fall all the more in love with it!
10. You get to witness and be a part of local festivals and events.
Most local festivals and celebrations in Indian holiday destinations don’t fall in the peak season. We’re not sure if it was intentionally designed in such a way so that it doesn’t interfere with business. But there are so many places you must visit in the off-season to experience these wonderful celebrations.
Take, for example, the Himalayan Kumbh Mela that takes place once in twelve years near the Zanskar river in July, or the Black Hat Dance during the Naro Nasjal Festival in August in Ladakh or the Himachali Hariyali Festival in July among others.
