India’s a vast country with diverse climates, so the best time to visit depends where you’re going:
- Generally: October to March offers pleasant weather across most of India, with warm days and cool nights. This is the peak tourist season, so expect bigger crowds and higher prices.
- South India: November onwards is ideal, following the monsoon season.
- North India: December to March is best, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Be prepared for cooler nights, especially in the Himalayas.
- Ladakh (North India): June to September is monsoon season everywhere else in India, but it’s the best time to visit Ladakh when roads are accessible.
Remember, these are general guidelines. Consider what activities you’re interested in and research specific regions for the best experience.
