Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

India
Most of India follows a three-season pattern -- a hot summer (March-June), a monsoon season (June-September) bringing the bulk of the year's rainfall, and a cooler, drier winter (October-February) that's generally the most comfortable time to travel.
Climate varies enormously by region -- Rajasthan's desert sees scorching summers, the Himalayan hill stations stay cool year-round, and Kerala's tropical coast stays warm and humid with a heavier monsoon.
Ladakh's high-altitude desert climate is starkly different again -- very low rainfall and brutally cold winters that cut the region off for months.
