Insider timing tips
- •The monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rains that can significantly impact travel plans and make outdoor sightseeing difficult.
- •While May and June offer the lowest prices and fewest crowds, the extreme heat can be a major deterrent for most visitors.
- •November and December are peak tourist months due to excellent weather, leading to higher prices and larger crowds.
- •Shoulder months like October and February offer a good balance of pleasant weather, manageable crowds, and moderate prices.
- •Local holidays, especially around Diwali and Holi, can mean some smaller businesses may close, but the festive atmosphere is a major draw.
