What to do in India
Relax on India’s coast
Goa, India’s smallest state, is renowned for its tropical beaches, wellness and yoga retreats and vibrant nightlife. On the southwest coast, Kerala is famous for its peaceful backwaters. Cruise the huge network of canals, lakes and rivers in a traditional houseboat and visit laid-back beach towns.
Visit the ‘Land of the Kings’
Rajasthan is home to a vast array of ancient forts, palaces and temples, including the 16th-century Amber Fort, as well as the historic cities of Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur. In the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer has earned the nickname ‘Golden City’ because of its immense sandstone architecture.
Start an adventure
The Indian Himalayas offer high-altitude treks, mountain climbs and visits to scenic hill stations, including Ladakh. India is also home to some of the world’s best wildlife experiences, with Ranthambore National Park giving visitors the chance to spot tigers in their natural habitat.
Explore iconic landmarks
Follow the Golden Triangle, one of India’s most popular travel routes linking Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Discover India Gate and the Red Fort, marvel at the Taj Mahal in Agra and explore former homes of the Maharajas in Jaipur, the famous ‘Pink City’.
Discover India’s culture and spirituality
Varanasi, on the edge of the Ganges River in Uttar Pradesh, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities, dating back over 3,500 years. It’s one of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism. Amritsar is home to the stunning Golden Temple, the holiest shrine in Sikhism.
December to March is generally warm and pleasant, while June to September brings the monsoon season. Despite wetter conditions elsewhere, the Himalayas remain dry.
December to March
Winter sees dry, sunny weather across much of India, with warm days and cool evenings. Southern coastal destinations, including Goa, enjoy temperatures of around 30 degrees. The mild conditions are good for wildlife spotting in the national parks, although snow in the mountains means hiking and trekking routes are often inaccessible.
April to May and Oct to Nov
April and May are the hottest months the year, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees. October and November are good for visiting Rajasthan’s desert with clear skies. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated each year between mid-October and mid-November with spectacular firework displays.
June to September
Monsoon season brings daily rain across most of the country, along with warm and humid temperatures, particularly in the south. In the Himalayas, conditions remain dry and sunny. India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August, while festivals such as Vallam Kali, see traditional boat races held on Kerala’s backwaters.
