The best time to visit India’s Golden Triangle—Delhi, Agra and Jaipur—is from October to March, when the weather is generally cooler and comfortable for sightseeing.
Pleasant daytime temperatures make this the most popular period for visiting monuments, forts, markets and heritage sites. December and January can bring cold mornings and occasional fog, particularly in Delhi and Agra, so carry warm clothing.
These months are usually hot, especially during the afternoon. Sightseeing is still possible by starting early in the morning, taking a midday break and travelling in an air-conditioned vehicle.
The monsoon brings occasional rain, greener surroundings and fewer tourists. Visitors may enjoy better hotel rates, although short delays and humid weather are possible.
Recommended months: October, November, February and March
Ideal tour duration: 4 nights / 5 days
Travel tip: The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday, so plan your travel dates accordingly.
