Many of us will love to visit the world’s top adventure spots during the season.  However it is better to visit such places during off season which will indirectly gain you lot of money as the seasonal demand will be very less as well same as the crowd.

Hippo -The Green Season safari, Botswana

Basically, the Botswana green season safari is very costly place to visit. The cost of the lodges where people stay will go to maximum $1000 for one person for one night stay.  But the tourist who wants to visit the place during November to April called as the ‘Green Season’ can bargain and ask for a discount.  They can approach the lodge owners as a large group with a person as their head.    During this season, frequent rainfall will be there leading to green vegetation.  The myriad birds and many animals will give birth to younger ones and others will turn around in search of food.

Proper vaccination like Prophylaxis should be taken as Malaria is common disease found in many parts of Botswana like Okavango Delta, Chobe National parks and Moremi.

Trekking during Monsoon season in Western Ghats, India

The month from June to September is a season of heavy rainfalls with floods.  The inland which is 100 kms from Sahyadri Mountains is a portion of the larger side of the Western Ghats and it is the playground with wet weather for the tourist.  The rivers and waterfalls will be at full swing with more green scenarios. With the effect of cool temperature you can enjoy the home stays and make a visit to ruined forts and ancient paths.

Iguacu Falls in Brazil, Argentina

During the rainy season this Iguacu, meaning the ‘big water’ showcases itself as the 275 separate waterfalls rushing into the jungle with 6500 cu m water flowing per second near its peak.  A 3km wide and 80m high spillage waterfall serve as the border for both Brazil and Argentina.  During the summer, the tourist cannot see the force of water in the peak of the mountain as the waterfalls will get shrinked during dry season.  To enjoy the full fledged waterfall view, you have to plan your visit during December to February. DO not forget to bring your waterproof jacket.

The Panoramic view of the falls is found from Brazil and the close view can be seen from Argentina.

Venice in Italy during winter

All the alleys of the Venice including St. Mark’s Square are empty. No tourists but only the cold, damp atmosphere. Just get the thrill of wading through the water through the silence. Without the usual crowd just drink a hot coffee in one of the warm café.
