What to pack for a monsoon stay
Leech socks, a good book and a slower pace. Our list for June to September.
The monsoon is our favourite season, and the cheapest. It is also wet. Bring shoes with grip, quick-dry clothes and one warm layer for the evenings.
We provide umbrellas, ponchos and leech socks in every cottage. Leeches are harmless, and a pinch of salt sends them away.
Most of all, bring time. The best monsoon days are spent on a veranda with a book, watching the rain come across the valley.
