There’s a kind of magic in the monsoon—especially when you’re cradled in the Himalayas. At Akasa Himalayan Glamping, nestled deep in the forested village of Hartola, monsoon doesn’t just arrive—it pours life into every leaf, stone, and stream. The rains here don’t confine you indoors; they awaken something within you. They soften the world around, slow down time, and invite you to feel. To breathe. To be.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience monsoon not just as a season, but as an emotion, Akasa in the rains is where you need to be.
The Romance of Rain in the Hills
As the first drops fall on the tin rooftops and the forest exhales its petrichor-rich scent, you’ll know this is not just a place—it’s a feeling.
The sound of rain here isn’t noise. It’s rhythm. It taps gently on your dome’s transparent windows. It falls like a lullaby while you sip on hot pahadi chai, wrapped in a warm shawl, watching the hills blur into watercolor greens and grays. The world slows down. Deadlines blur. Screens fade. And suddenly, your heart beats in sync with the rain.
Akasa’s domes, warm and softly lit, become your cocoon. You watch the monsoon from inside, cocooned in comfort, the outside world soaked in lush poetry.
When the Trails Turn Into Whispering Streams
You’d think trekking during the monsoon is a bad idea. But here’s a secret—monsoon treks are the Himalayas at their wildest and most beautiful.
- Short forest walks around Akasa become adventures. The trails glisten. The leaves hold puddles of light. Ferns uncoil. Birds flutter from tree to tree, shaken from stillness.
- The scent of wet pine and mud fills the air, grounding you in a way no meditation app ever could.
- Hidden waterfalls, like Bhalu Gaad, roar louder, fuller. The sound is thunderous, yes—but also cleansing.
You don’t hike in a rush. You walk slower. Deliberately. Every step is a dialogue with nature at its most alive. Every misty breath you take in is a reminder: this is what it feels like to be present
A Haven of Warmth and Stillness
After a walk in the drizzle, coming back to Akasa is like stepping into a hug.
- Electric blankets and heaters keep your dome toasty.
- A hot Kumaoni thali, rich with seasonal greens and spices, warms you from the inside out.
- You stretch out by the window with a book or a journal. Or just do nothing. And isn’t that what the rains teach us best—to just… be?
Evenings come early in the monsoon. The hills turn violet. And under the dim golden light of your dome, you find comfort in the quiet.
The Joy of Disconnecting
Rain has a strange way of making you put your phone down. Of making you listen.
At Akasa, you’ll find time to:
- Write that poem you never finished.
- Sketch that view from your window.
- Tell your partner stories you’d forgotten you remembered.
- Or just sit in silence, hand wrapped around a mug, watching the clouds roll through the trees.
This is where monsoon becomes more than weather. It becomes a mirror. It slows the world just enough for you to see what matters.
A Season to Reconnect—With Yourself and the Earth
And amidst all this—luxury, silence, rain—you realise something.
This isn’t a getaway. It’s a return.
To your breath.
To your rhythm.
To the soil.
To yourself.
Akasa isn’t just where you stay. It’s where you finally feel at home in your own skin. Especially when the clouds come to sit with you.
