The Best Time to Visit India

[Shyguy]

I have been watching a lot of videos of Western travelers visiting India and most of them had very good experiences. The best thing is the budget and I do have enough savings to have a trip of 3 to 4 weeks later this year. I am thinking around October and November, what month should I choose to avoid extreme weather and too much crowd?

Either month would work well as you will be missing the monsoon season when it is very hot and hunmid and generally unpleasant. Temperatures will be slighly higher in October and you will also have a bit more daylight in the evenings. Depending on where you are going and doing, you will find Indian cities busy and crowded. (Think of the population of Delhi for example. Traffic is scary! ) Some of teh main tourist sites (Taj Mahal for example) are always busy but away from these, the smaller less popular tourist places away from the main areas of settlement will be less busy. Never having done a wild life safari in India, I can't comment as to the best time to see tigers and other animals.

India can challenge all the senses but is an incredible place to visit.
