defined by three seasons; the hot, the wet
(monsoon) and the cool, however the
climatic conditions in the far north of India
have little relation to those in the
extreme south. The most pleasant time

cooler period between November and midFebruary.
The weather in India varies depending
on region, (see the Fast Facts boxes for the
best times to visit specific regions). If
you are travelling India during the hot
summer and wet, humid monsoon season,
cool relief can be found in the northern
Himalayan region.

August.
