Where to go in June
The best places to explore at this time of year
The best places to explore at this time of year
Monsoon season takes hold in India, Sri Lanka, and much of Southeast Asia, but there are still pockets of perfection, most notably in Indonesia. Bali, Java, and Komodo are idyllic with dry weather and lush landscapes that is perfectly suited to temple-hopping and volcano-hiking. The east of Sri Lanka is still good for beaches, surf and sunshine and in Vietnam, the central area is balmy and beautiful at this time of year. Parts of Japan can also be very pleasant before the summer heat arrives.
Welcome to the sweet spot in Indonesia: dry season has arrived, but the crowds haven’t. Bali’s beaches and rice terraces are glowing in the sun, the dragons of Komodo are active, and Java’s temples are at their ethereal best in the morning mists. In fact, June is just about ideal for most experiences whether you’re island-hopping, surfing, diving, hiking volcanoes, meditating in the jungle or cultural deep-diving.
