When is the best time to visit India?

India's size means no single travel window applies to the entire country. October to March is the most practical period for northern India, Rajasthan, and the Golden Triangle, with daytime temperatures between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius. Kerala and South India are best visited between November and February when the southwest monsoon has cleared. Ladakh and the high Himalayan regions are only accessible between May and October when mountain passes are open. April to June brings temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius across Rajasthan and the Indo-Gangetic plains, though this is the peak season for Ladakh planning. The monsoon runs from June to September across most of the country, with the northeast receiving rainfall as early as May.

Do I need a visa to visit India?

Most nationalities can apply for an Indian e-Tourist Visa online before travel without visiting an embassy. The e-Visa is available to citizens of over 160 countries and is processed entirely online. A 30-day single entry e-Visa covers most leisure itineraries. Apply at least 4 to 7 days before your travel date. Alkof Holidays provides visa guidance as part of the tour planning process.
