India is not only a winter
destination, the summer months have their own charms and advantages.
April and May are the best time to spot wildlife whilst the
Himalayas are cool enough for walking and mountain biking.
Rajasthan is possibly at its most dazzling in August after
the monsoon when the normally parched desert is lush and green
and its fabled lakes are brimming with water. September through
to mid October is one of India’s best kept secrets –
daytime temperatures range from the mid 20Cs to the low 30Cs
with little rain and low humidity make it an ideal time to
visit. The summer months are the best time to explore Ladakh
when the days are warm and a number of fascinating local festival
take place. The main monuments including the Taj Mahal, Agra
Fort and Amber Fort are relatively uncrowded and the monsoon
skies can make photographs dramatic. Hotels throughout India
are far less busy enabling you to enjoy the spas and restaurants
without booking in advance and even have the pool to yourself.
