Created by Harsh Sonawala,Last Updated on November 21, 2023
This article will give you an insight about the weather in India in March. India in March can best be described as a warm but less-crowded month, with one of the most enjoyable festivals – Holi – the festival of colours. Further, March signals the end of the cool and touristy winter season. Mid-March onwards is when the summer starts settling in. March is a largely dry month, where you are likely to be safe from the rain. This article will also give you some inspiration into some of the best places to visit in India in March. You can see some of our month long suggested tours for India that cover different regions.

weather in north India & the mountains in march
March is a great time to visit parts of North India as temperatures rise further. Although, Rajasthan will begin to get extremely warm in the afternoon from mid-March onwards.
Further, this time of year is a fabulous time to travel the Himalayan foothills such as Amritsar, Rishikesh and Dharamshala. Beat the summer heat and climb those mountains!
March is considered to be the beginning of the best climate to visit North India in. With its clear skies, gorgeous sunshine and luscious flora, this is the most ideal season for one to get lost along the off-beat paths and trails of some of the natural wonders that reside here. Northeast India is green, blossoming and bursting with a culture unique to the India most travellers will experience.
For more information about our favourite places to visit in North India, see our blog post.

weather in south India in march
South India begins to get pretty hot in March. It will not be as pleasant as January or as hot as April or May, but the beginning of the off-season means that it is a lot less touristy, easier to travel and generally less crowded. This means there are a lot more options for cheaper accommodation and emptier beaches. Check out our blog that suggests some lesser-known beaches for you to try. If you are looking to explore the temples, this may not be the perfect time to, as it may get too hot in the afternoons. For some fabulous photography opportunities in India, why not head to the tea plantations and the national parks for a cooler experience?
