When to book flights to India?

One of the best times to visit India is from December to March. While the UK is in the grip of winter, India typically experiences fantastic weather: dry and sunny but not too warm. This is one of the best times to visit cities such as Mumbai or Delhi or to experience the magic of the Taj Mahal at dawn.

From June to September is monsoon season with heavy rains and warmer temperatures. This usually means fewer visitors and could also mean great travel deals and cheap flights to India. The summer season is one of the best times to visit one of India's many hill stations such as Manali, Mount Abu or Munnar where the temperatures are more manageable and nature is at its most lush.
