When to Go

Characterised by a hot, tropical climate the best time to travel to India is during our summer months when conditions are more temperate and the humidity lower. The monsoon occurs May to September with rain generally occurring in the morning or late afternoon. Travelling at this time shows the country in a lush new light. In the Himalayan regions to the north, travel is recommended late spring or autumn.
