SEPTEMBER TO JUNE
As the heat of the Summer season starts to cool down in September, you'll get beautifully warm days without the unbearable temperatures that the Summer holds.

Coming back through March/April, you'll start to get warmer days and evenings as the Summer approaches yet again. Any time you decide to visit the North of India in these months will please you with beautiful weather and an epic experience.
