Best destinations by month
November through February offers the broadest conditions for walking. Nights and early mornings can be cold, while December and January fog may delay road, rail and air travel. Year-end holidays and important observances raise demand.
March warms quickly and is often a useful balance. Holi and movable Sikh dates can change crowds and opening patterns, so check the current calendar.
April through June is the hardest period. IMD's long-period Amritsar normals put mean daily maxima around 34°C in April, 38.7°C in May and 40.1°C in June. Shift outdoor time to dawn and evening.
July through September is the main monsoon period. Humidity and heavy downpours can disrupt walking and road transfers; July and August carry the highest normal rainfall.
October is a warm, drier transition. Conditions improve through the month, but air quality across the northwestern plain can vary sharply.
