Best Time to Visit Delhi



October to March

This is the best time to visit Delhi. Days are comfortable for exploring forts, temples, markets, and monuments. Evenings are mild, making it ideal for street food walks and outdoor sightseeing.



April to June

Temperatures can rise above 40°C. Afternoon heat can be intense, so outdoor travel may feel tiring. Early mornings and evenings are more manageable.



July to September

Rain brings relief from heat, but humidity increases. Showers can cause traffic delays. The city looks greener during this time, and tourist crowds are usually smaller.
