The best time to visit India is during the winter (November to April), except the Himalayan region where April to September is the best time. But in south of the nation there is no winter as much. Usually there the days will be hot and night remains cool. This type of climatic condition prevails from September to March. The season sets in with the onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala, southern most state, usually on June1.

It progresses northward and covers the whole nation by the end of July. The eastern coastal belts like, coasts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, experience the northeast monsoon during October and November, at the time when north is experiencing the winter.
