Meghalaya
There is not one place I can name where you should visit. I believe the entire state should be visited if you’re planning a monsoon trip.
Meghalaya is also known as a Wettest Place on the Earth because it attracts heavy rainfall. You can enjoy the beautiful view of many waterfalls here. Also, if you love Hiking/Trekking than this place should be on the bucket list. Some of the best Trekking Routes are: Living Root Bridge, Kyllang Rock, David Scott Trail, Sohpet-bneng.
Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu
Kodaikanal is one of the finest hill stations on the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu state. Here you can do Boating, visit the many parks, Suicide Point, Caves, forest, and waterfalls. Monsoons are not considered as a peak season so you can enjoy the beauty with less crowd.

This is another beautiful state in the northern side of India where you can witness the picturesque treks of the Himalayas. There is also A World Heritage Site, Valley of Flowers National Park, which is known for alpini flowers and other variety of flora. The Valley of Flowers opens from June till September.
Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir
The high rated destination for adventure lovers, bikers, and trekkers. The Ladakh means ‘Land of High Passes’. Ladakh offers some tough challenge for bike riders, here you’ll find highest motorable roads and this is a trip is not for inexperienced riders. You’ll face high altitude, low oxygen.
