Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to travel to India?

Between October and March the best time to visit India is when the weather will be warmer, sunnier and drier. The north provides bright, blue skies at this time. December and January are much cooler, however, with potential fog, while the higher Himalayas may be very cold, but with clearer views over the mountain. Rising temperatures in April and May may lead to excellent value trips but high humidity and thunderstorms can be expected.

Both summer (March-mid-June) and winter seasons are favourable for wildlife sightings. Though winter season is best for daytime spotting of animals basking in the sun, summer is the time when they can be seen also paying a visit to the water holes.

What kind of clothes do I need to carry while traveling to India?

Since India encounters hot summers (in most parts) and cold winters, it is recommended that travelers pack according to the month in which they plan a visit. If the trip is planned in the months from March to September it will be enough to carry light woolens (in the hills) and cotton clothes (in other areas). On the other hand, if the trip is planned between October and February, it would be advisable to bring heavy woollens for North India and light woollens for South India.
