Best time to visit India

Our verdict

The best time to visit India is October-November

India is a place lots of people visit almost all year round, but if you’re looking for the best time to go, October-November is definitely the time you should visit. This is based on a number of factors such as the weather, cost of flights and accommodation, peak travel periods and more.

In summer, temperatures can reach as high 46℃ (115℉) in the middle of the day in New Delhi. The coldest it usually gets in winter-time in New Delhi is around 6℃ (43℉). Temperatures can often differ in other locations in India, so be sure to continue reading if you plan on visiting elsewhere.

If you’re keen to work on your tan in India, you’re most likely to get the longest days between sun-up and sun-down around May. The wet season in India usually falls during the months surrounding July each year. It’s not uncommon to get some decent rainfall or light showers during this time, but on some days the weather tends to be fine for a majority of the day, with only a few drops of rain falling from a passing shower.
