Best Time to Visit India FAQs

  • Which is the hottest month in India?

    Depending on which part of the country you are in the hottest month in India could be April, May, or June, right before the monsoon season begins.

  • What is the best first-time trip to India?

    For your first trip to India, don’t try to cover too much. Pick a region or state and one or two stops, our travel experts can guide you towards the most suitable destinations, however, we would start by suggesting Kerala or Rajasthan, perhaps combining The Golden Triangle and Udaipur. The two states are very different, but both offer a glimpse at authentic India without being overwhelming.

  • How many days in India is enough?

    Generally, spending at least two to three weeks in India allows for a deeper exploration beyond the major cities, giving you time to immerse yourself in the diverse cultures and landscapes.

  • When is the best time to visit India and Nepal?

    Combining a trip to India and Nepal would be an incredible experience. The best time to go to India and Nepal is between October and December or March and May.

  • When is the best time to visit India and the Maldives?

    India and the Maldives work really well as a multi-stop holiday, first getting an explosive hit of culture, before relaxing in a tropical island paradise. The best time of year to visit India and the Maldives is between December and April.

  • When is the best time to visit India and Sri Lanka?

    Flights to Sri Lanka from India take between an hour and a half and three hours, making the two countries easy to combine in one holiday. The best months to visit India and Sri Lanka are between December and April.
