When is the best time to visit India's Golden Triangle?

The Golden Triangle, encompassing Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, shines brightest during the pleasant months! October to March offers ideal weather for sightseeing - warm days and cool nights. However, December and January can get chilly in Delhi, while the south experiences peak tourist season with higher prices.
