The Scent of Rain and Green Mangoes-Embrace the Mango Showers at Achadipura

There is this sudden stillness in the air just before the clouds unleash their fury on Kerala, an instant of anticipation, when even the leaves of the nutmegs and rambutans stop fluttering and the birds become silent.

And then, in an instant, there is the cold breeze, bringing along with it the scent of wet, earthy, dry soil getting drenched under the shower of the first monsoon rains.

This, my friends, marks the beginning of the Mango Showers at Achadipura.

These pre-monsoon showers may not be much to some people, but for us locals, these are the best times, the ones when the earth awakens in all its glory and begins to give rise to those green and juicy mango fruits in our garden.

In Kerala, during this time, the Mango Showers is not only the onset of rains; rather, this period gives you an idea of what the main monsoon season is going to be like, as well.

If you love the monsoons, why not embrace the beginning of this season?

Think of being close to the edge of our very own traditional courtyard, witnessing the huge drops play in rhythm upon the red clay roof tiles and listening to the melodious sounds of the rain falling in sync with the vibrant green leaves. Instantly, the sultriness of midday vanishes, only to give way to an invigorating freshness.

This is a time dedicated entirely to relaxation. It is sitting in the warm corners of our rooms, holding a hot mug of our fresh Kerala coffee, and staring out at the dark clouds that take over the entire sky. Simply sitting, watching the rain drenched landscapes, and experiencing all its slow magic.

The monsoon rains are a call from nature that urges you to stop and breathe and revive. And we want to extend this experience to you as well.

Experience peace amidst the madness of daily routine at Achadipura Homestay. Watch as the first rains clear your mind, rejuvenate yourself amid the petrichor-filled mornings and embrace this wonderful season.
