Insider timing tips
- •The monsoon season (July-August) brings heavy rains that can disrupt travel and limit outdoor activities, making it the least desirable time to visit.
- •While November and December offer ideal weather, they also represent peak tourist season, leading to higher prices and crowded attractions. Shoulder months like October and February provide a good balance.
- •The pre-monsoon months of April and May are extremely hot, but offer significantly lower prices and fewer crowds, making them suitable for budget travelers who can tolerate high temperatures.
- •Local festivals like Holi and Diwali can be incredibly vibrant but also lead to temporary closures of some businesses and transport disruptions; check dates carefully.
