Travel Recommendations For Northern India In Winter
The geographical position and unusual topography of India is responsible for the country’s diverse climate. If you have plans of visiting northern India, you can expect the climate to be hotter during the summer and cooler in winter. Before going there, you have to consider these travel recommendations for northern India in winter.
The northern plains of India during the winter season which happens to be from October to March brings very cold temperatures. In fact, temperature in the Thar Desert can reach freezing point. The central city of the north is New Delhi and the temperature there is from 8 degrees to 21 degrees Celsius.
You can find a rich history of culture in north India. Aside from New Delhi, you can also visit other destinations like Uttranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Jamma, HImachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Kashmir. There are many activities that you can do in north India like river rafting, camel safari, mountain biking, skiing, and trekking. You can also find exquisite architecture, incredible wildlife, sand dunes, and historical charm in this Indian region.
If you plan to tour Delhi, you can explore the city’s religious face. There are many temples that you can visit like Akshardham, Birla, Bangla Sahib, and ISKCON temples. Aside from the temples, there are also forts in Delhi like Qutub Minar, Jantar Mantar, and Red Fort.
Taj Mahal is found in north India, specifically in Uttar Pradesh. If you have plans of traveling to Uttaranchal, don’t do this during the winter season as it is very cold. You can do it between April and June or from September to November.
Individuals who love mall shopping can go to Shimla. You can find malls offering great sights there. The Golden Temple can be found in Punjab. Other places that you should visit are Srinagar, Jammu, Dal Lake, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Solan, Dalhousie, Dharamsala, Kullu, Manali, Kangra, and Chamba. You can have the best holiday experience in north India.
As mentioned earlier, winter in north India is quite cold. If you go there during winter, you have to bring the appropriate clothes. If you don’t have them, you can start purchasing winter clothes. This way, you can avoid stressing out your body and ending up sick. Make sure that you take your vitamins and some medications with you, just in case you catch fever, cough or colds. The medicines sold in India are not the same as those sold in your home country. So better be prepared especially if you’re traveling there during the winter. You can enjoy the sights and tourist spots in north India if you have a healthy body.
Still, if you can’t withstand the cold, you should go to North India during the summer season. The temperature during that time is not as cold as the winter season.
Now that you know the places that you can visit in north India, you can contact a travel agency and book your travel in advance. The winter season in India is also the peak season for the influx of tourists and so it would be best to plan ahead of time, otherwise, you will not get the best services because the accommodations are limited. Planning can really take so much of your time but with the help of a travel agency, your troubles are lessened. If you take into consideration these travel recommendations for northern India in winter, you will have the greatest time of your life despite the cold climate.

I did not know India had winter season. Most of the time I see India depicted as a country that has either rainy or hot season. Well that just shows how little I know of and I’m glad I learn something everyday through blogs like this. Kudos!

Guess it is a pretty darned big country and from the North to the South does cover several degrees so I guess there should be some seasonal variations depending on which part of the country you’re in.
I finally decided to write a comment on your blog.
I just wanted to say good job. I really enjoy
reading your posts. THUMBS UP!

During the monsoon months, some Indian states, like in the north east, do suffer heavy flooding. Some, like Bombay, may flood but recover in a couple of days. The north western states generally don’t flood, but in addition to the rains, you should be aware of the summer heat which can reach 50 Celsius. You really have to love heat if you stay in the lowlands. Many Indians leave the lowlands like the Gangetic Plain, and spend the hot months in cooler places like Shimla and Manali, driving up the cost of hotels and making train and bus tickets scarce. Keep away from the touts in Shimla if possible.Thanks for sharing this informative post.
I always find India so interesting. I’d like to learn the culture and Hinduism. All of those things are just fascinating.

I’d recommend Kasol, Buntur and surrounding area. A little on the eastern side Nainital and Almora are beautiful places. And so is Ladakh and Leh.
Thanks for sharing. the article is quite informative.
Great post and excellent site. Keep up the great work
