What is the weather like and what should you wear?
The Northern plains are too hot in summers (April to mid-July). If you are
planning your trip during the summer months, do remember to take along light
cotton clothes, glucose, sun screen lotion, sun glasses etc. The mighty
Himalayas in the north, the Nilgris in the south and the hill resorts on the
Western Ghats can be ideal for escaping the searing heat.
Monsoons arrive during the month of June, continuing till mid September.
Heavy rains are likely in Southern India so bring waterproof clothes like
raincoat and umbrella.
Winter, however, is the ideal time to pay a visit to India. Nights are
chilly, specially in North India. In the rest of the country, winter
temperatures are tolerable. The snow-capped mountains of North India are
fantastic destinations to enjoy winter-sports. Do take along a number of
woollen garments. In the southern parts, temperature remains moderate
throughout winter.
