India is a year-round destination, but timing depends on where you go. Here's our complete seasonal guide.
India is not one climate but many. The best time to visit depends entirely on where you're headed — which is exactly why a tailor-made itinerary matters.
October to March is the golden window for most of the country: Rajasthan, the Golden Triangle, Kerala and the temples of the south all enjoy warm days and cool evenings. This is peak season for good reason.
April to June brings intense heat to the plains, but it's the ideal time to escape to the Himalaya — Ladakh, Spiti and Kashmir come alive as the high passes open and the valleys turn green.
The monsoon (July to September) transforms the landscape into lush green and is perfect for Kerala's Ayurveda retreats and the dramatic Western Ghats, though some mountain roads close. Whenever you travel, we'll match the season to the region for the very best experience.
