Deciduous monsoon forests swing between lush, rain-fed canopies and open, leaf-littered trails as the dry season returns. Travelers discover teak and sal forests, riverine corridors, and wildlife that adapts to dramatic seasonal change. Explore biodiversity hotspots while learning how monsoon rhythms shape ecosystems and nearby communities.
