Packing List Suggestions: Properly packing for a trip is crucial for a smooth travel experience. Deciding what to pack for a trip can be quite a challenge. It's important to prioritise comfort while travelling and carry only what is necessary. A significant portion of India is located on a peninsula, resulting in its exposure to water on three sides. The Himalayan region boasts amazing mountain ranges and cooler climates in the northern areas. The southeastern region is adjacent to the Bay of Bengal, while the southwestern region is bordered by the Arabian Sea.

India boasts a unique geography, characterised by varying elevations that greatly influence the temperature and climate. Therefore, when travelling to India, it is essential to pack appropriate and comfortable light clothing that suits the different seasons. When it comes to packing clothing items, it's best to option for layered garments instead of thick ones. Layered clothing offers more versatility and comfort compared to a few bulky items. It's important to consider the season you're travelling in to ensure you pack appropriately. 

Do’s And Don’ts:

  • Select the ideal time to travel, and check the calendar for festivals and other local celebrations.
  • Select a reputed tour/ travel organisation. 
  • Efficient packing is the key to comfortable travel. 
  • Carry all the necessary paperwork.
  • Listen to the guide and follow the rules and regulations.
  • Ask for permission before taking pictures and videos of people and places.
  • Remorse shoes before entering the religious landmarks.
  • Consider dressing modestly and comfortably. 
  • Respect the culture and people of the area.
  • Travel for experience, not for the sake of travelling.
  • Remember to carry good sunscreen, as you will be exposed to sun, which can be quite intense.
  • Don’t litter; put trash in its place. 

Weather In India

India's climate is a reflection of its diverse geography, with the majority of the country experiencing a tropical climate. The inner regions feature a mix of wet and dry tropical weather, while the northern parts have a humid tropical climate. The weather in India can be divided into four seasons. Winter lasts from December to early April, followed by the scorching summer months of April to June (April to July in North-Western India). The monsoon season brings heavy rainfall from June to September, and finally, the post-monsoon season occurs from October to December.

Winter is the ideal season to explore the wonders of India (December to early March). The temperature starts to rise significantly from April onwards, and many areas receive heavy rainfall during the summer monsoon season from June to September. With its vast size and varied climate, India offers an abundance of amazing destinations to discover throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When is the ideal time to go to these places for wildlife?

    October through June are the ideal months to visit the national parks in North India if you want to see wildlife. The nice weather and more animals around water sources during these months make it easier to see wildlife. Parks are open all year round, but access may be restricted and wildlife visibility may be reduced during the monsoon season, which runs from July to September. The greatest time to properly appreciate the richness and scenic magnificence of the parks is to visit between October and June.

  • Is the tour appropriate for families with kids?

    This vacation is ideal for families with children, providing an exceptional chance to discover the rich cultural legacy and diverse wildlife of North India. The longer safari expeditions, though, can be exhausting for younger kids, so parents should be aware of this. However, kids will love this trip as they get to explore the wildlife from a safe distance and have a great time. 

  • Are there any particular guidelines or policies that apply to wildlife parks?

    Yes, all visitors have to abide by the park's rules, which include being quiet, not feeding the animals, and only entering approved areas. In some places, there may be costs associated with photography and videography.
