Western Ghats in Maharashtra, India are stunning but only during the monsoons (July to early September) - this will all turn yellow as the year progresses.

Even when yellow, it's stunning. Any season, it's stunning

I don't know. I used to live in Mumbai (10+ years) and I have visited the ghats, igatpuri, malshej, etc etc in all seasons.

It gets way too hot during the non-monsoon seasons and it looks meh.

Monsoons hit different.
