When’s the best time to visit India?

India is the seventh largest country in the world and has a diverse climate, so the weather can vary based on region. However, most of the country enjoys warm and dry conditions during the winter, so it’s a great time to visit.

These tend to offer carriages with air conditioning – which you’ll thank yourself for booking once you’re on board. To really treat yourself, choose one of the luxury trains.

Holidays to India have something for everyone. You can spend days just exploring the cities, travelling in rickshaws through street markets and visiting historical temples.

And for relaxation, the coast has miles of soft sands dotted with luxury resorts.
