Always contact the appropriate authorities beforehand or ask us.


 

South India is best visited in the winter, notably from November to February, when the weather remains cool, dry, and pleasant. If you travel during that time, you will be treated to lovely misty hill stations with plenty of greenery and comfortable weather in the big cities.

Rainfall and humidity are common throughout the monsoon season, which lasts from June until July/August.
