The best time to visit India is during the winter months, from December to early March. Starting in April, temperatures begin to rise significantly, and from June to September, most areas are affected by the summer monsoon. However, India is a vast country with diverse climates, offering remarkable destinations to explore throughout the year.

Many countries can apply for an E-visa for stays up to 6 months. Nothing is easy or straightforward in India and don’t expect the E-visa to be either but persevere because India is like no other country on earth.
At Xplorist we have travelled India extensively and have always felt safe. A vast majority of Indians live below the poverty line and petty theft and tourist-related scams are prevalent but violence is a rarity. If you check your home country’s travel advisories then you will probably see a warning issued with a high level of risk noted for India.There are good and bad people everywhere but socio-economic pressures and changing political landscapes in countries can change things quickly. Do your own research and trust your gut.
