India

The best time to visit India largely depends on which regions you plan to explore, but generally, October to March is considered the ideal travel season. During these months, most parts of the country experience pleasant weather—cooler temperatures and lower humidity—making it perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. North India (Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan): Enjoys mild winters, great for visiting monuments and desert safaris. South India (Kerala, Tamil Nadu): Cooler and less humid, ideal for backwaters and hill stations. Himalayan regions (Leh, Manali, Darjeeling): Best time for trekking and mountain views before the heavy snowfalls. If you want to experience festivals, visiting during October-November is fantastic with celebrations like Diwali and Dussehra adding vibrant cultural experiences to your trip.

Getting around India is part of the adventure and there are plenty of ways to explore, depending on how you like to travel and how much time you have. Trains are like the veins of India — they connect nearly everywhere, and taking a train ride is a great way to soak in the local vibe and scenery. Whether you’re on a comfy sleeper coach or a fancy luxury train, it’s a unique experience. Just remember to book early if you want the best seats! If you’re short on time, domestic flights are your best bet. India has tons of airports and budget airlines, so hopping from one city to another is easy and pretty affordable. For shorter trips or places off the beaten path, buses are everywhere — from simple city buses to plush, air-conditioned coaches. It’s a budget-friendly way to get around, but be ready for a bit of local color along the way. In the cities, you’ll find plenty of taxis and auto rickshaws. Autos are perfect for short rides — just haggle a little or ask the driver to use the meter. And thanks to apps like Ola and Uber, grabbing a ride is super convenient. Many big cities also have metro systems, which are fast, clean, and avoid the city traffic chaos — a lifesaver during rush hour. Feeling adventurous? Renting a bike or scooter in places like Goa or Pondicherry gives you freedom to explore at your own pace.
