Travel Tips for Your India Trip
When is the best time to visit India?

India is a large country with different climates impacting different regions, but generally the best time to visit India is between November and March.

From November to January, southern India experiences pleasant weather after the monsoon season. There are also fewer crowds on either side of the holiday season. In contrast, northern India is best to travel to from January to March as the conditions are dry and cool. Should you wish to travel in summer, consider March to May when temperatures rise but rains have yet to arrive.

For more inspiration on when to visit and to find a time that suits your preferences, explore our comprehensive guide on the best time to visit India.

Where should I visit in India?

With its diversity of landscapes and cultures, India offers an array of noteworthy destinations. There are so many incredible places to experience in India, and here we highlight a few of our favorites:
