Arunachal Pradesh, India
Monsoon floods trails and swells leech populations to unbikeable levels
June brings the full monsoon to Namdapha. The rainforest earns its name — water is everywhere, trails become streams, and the leech population reaches biblical proportions. Park authorities may restrict access.
