Best Time to Visit India
Before you reserve your airline tickets to India, ensure that you visit the country during the best season and time of the year to make the most out of your trip.
However, the time you choose to visit the country mostly depends on the state or part of the country you are hoping to vacation at. The weather (just like other aspects of the country) varies from state to state, attesting to India's diverse nature.
The distinctive climatic pattern and the erratic seasonal changes should be kept in mind while preparing the itinerary. The months of April, May, June, and July are not suitable for travelers who cannot bear the sun's scorching heat. Winters, which last from late November to early March, has its downsides too.
October is probably one of the best months to visit the country. The tourists are still arriving, so the streets are relatively less crowded. The weather is pleasant with plenty of sunshine and a cool breeze. By the time October arrives, the rains have ceased, so you can travel free from the fear of getting drenched.
