During the August season, it is a recommendation for visitors to come and enjoy the natural beauty of the place as monsoon has just arrived, which results in appearing rainbows all over the city. What can be more beautiful than sitting at a campsite and watching rainbows? People can come here during this specific month and enjoy the real mesmerizing beauty all over.
