When is the best time to visit India?

The best time to visit India is during the cooler, dry months from October to March. This period offers pleasant weather ideal for exploring diverse regions, from the deserts of Rajasthan to the beaches of Goa and the backwaters of Kerala. Northern areas, including the Himalayas, are also more accessible and enjoyable during these months.
