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.

The monsoon brings occasional rain, greener surroundings and fewer tourists. Visitors may enjoy better hotel rates, although short delays and humid weather are possible.
