India has a long history of monsoon appreciation dating back to the 19th century. Palaces were built to honor and enjoy the rains. The most famous of these “monsoon palaces” is Sajjan Garh Palace in the southern city of Udaipur. It rests on a hill and has viewing areas that offer beautiful views of the Sajjan Garh Wildlife Sanctuary. These palaces served as summer homes for royalty but today offer a taste of classic Indian-style luxury. Not to be outdone, modern resorts have added special facilities to attract monsoon visitors. Some have built water parks with connected pools, water slides, and fountains where people can splash around, as well as open-air discos where people can dance when it pours. Some luxury hotels even have private patios next to their guest rooms so that their guests can shower naturally in the rain.
