When to visit India
North India & Rajasthan
October to March is the most comfortable period, with mild, dry days. April to June is very hot, and the monsoon brings rain from July to September.
South India — Tamil Nadu & Kerala
November to March is generally the best window. The south has its own monsoon rhythm, so timing differs from the north.
Ladakh & the Himalaya
Travel is possible roughly from June to September, when the mountain passes are open. The rest of the year, access is largely closed by snow.
