Where should I visit in India? and When is the Best Time for Photography Tours in India? are two of our most commonly asked questions. India's diversity is one of its most amazing features; every state has its own distinct culture, landscape and food, as well as a wide range of meteorological conditions.

The extreme heat from the bright sun is great if you're going to the beach, but it's not so great if you're sightseeing at crowded places that could not provide much cover. It is not the best time to visit South India because June through September is the monsoon season, which contrasts with the sunny summer days found in many other nations.

And what kind of vacation would you pick? Do you like to explore famous temples and structures, take in breathtaking countryside, or witness great wildlife?

Fortunately, you can experience all of these in various Indian states, but before organizing your Indian tour, it's a good idea to consider what you want to see and do. So hopefully our guide to the best time to visit India will help!
