Climate and travel weather in India

On our tour of India, you will experience an extremely varied climate. In most Indian regions, the climate is tropical with the exception of the northern part of India, where the climate is more temperate due to the extent of the Himalayas. In general, there is a lot of heat in India, and an average temperature of over 30 degrees all year round is not abnormal.

The high and low seasons vary depending on whether the tour goes to the north of India or central and southern India. Traveling to southern India in January and March best to travel in, as these months have good temperatures and the monsoon season has not yet consumed India. If you travel to the north of India instead, it is the months of June to September that are preferable.

Jeep Safari in Kanha National Park

Kanha National Park is located in the heart of India and has a scale of almost 2,000 km2. Side by side, all kinds of exotic animals live in the park. On a jeep safari through Kanha's green bamboo jungle, you'll see the source of inspiration behind Rudyard Kipling's world-renowned 1894 tale, The Jungle Book.

Kanha National Park is just one of India's many amazing national parks but definitely worth a visit. Kanha rarely disappoints if you want to experience wildlife in picturesque surroundings. According to experts, this national park is also one of the safest places to go on a tiger safari.

Accommodation with a kettuvallam at Kerala backwaters

Kerala backwaters are an impressive network of small natural rivers and canals in the Indian state of Kerala. Here you have an absolutely fantastic opportunity to experience India from a kettuvallam - an Indian houseboat typically with beds, toilets,s, and outdoor areas.

From the boat, you can observe life in the local villages play out. Both laundry, bath, fishing and trade are carried out in and around Kerala backwaters. The lush nature around the rivers is so beautiful and so far from what we know about in the Nordic region.

Your Kettuvallam will probably stop at that market town of Alleppey. Here is packed with delicious goods such as coconut, spices, and silk. The boat trip at Kettuvallam and a visit to Alleppey are a whole new way to delve into Indian culture. 

Kovalam beach paradise

The beaches of the town of Kovalam guarantee good weather, sunbathing and self-indulgence. Enjoy an Ayurvedic treatment - a 4-5,000-year-old treatment tradition where the goal is to find a natural balance with its surroundings.

In Indian, Kovalam means coconut palm grove, and swaying coconut palms you'll find as far as the eye can see. On round trips in India where relaxation is the purpose, Kovalam is obvious to visit. The rushing water and the sharp sun provide peace of mind and soul.

Just a 20-minute drive from beautiful Kovalam is Travancore - a charming town where you can find real Indian handicrafts and many other wonderful Indian souvenirs. A trip to Travancore is highly recommended as a break from beach life.

Ganges River and Ganga-aarti

In northern India, you will find the Ganges River - a river of special importance to Hindus. The water here is considered spiritual, clean, and purifying. Every year, a myriad of spiritual souls and curious tourists visit the river on tours of India.

The "Holy Ganga" originates from Bhagirath in the Himalayas and flows along with the Alaknanda River. On the riverbank, you can experience the Ganga-aarti ceremony - an ancient Hindu ritual in which the five elements of Hinduism are worshipped.

While torches are lit and ritual songs are sung, it's as if the riverbank is boiling. All sorts of good people, such as soothsayers, sad hats, and beggar monks, flock to these ceremonies. Especially to pay tribute to Shiva, the "strongest" of the Hindu trilogy.

Taj Mahal

On Kipling's tour of India, we will rarely let you miss the sight of the Taj Mahal. Built between 1632 and 1653, the colossal mausoleum is a unique set of mogul architecture with the most beautiful marble-clad façade.

Flowers and small quotas are carved into the wall, and a garden, a mosque, and a red sandstone guesthouse also complement the opulent mansion. The Taj Mahal is adventurous - indeed, the mansion is the inspiration behind the Sultan's Palace in Aladdin.

The myths are also that the stormtrooper Shah Jahan wanted the hands of all 20,000 workers severed. This had to be done to ensure that the workers would never again be able to perform something as beautiful and unique as the Taj Mahal.

Popular animals you can experience in India

India is a large country and spans several climates, enriching round trips in India with all kinds of different animal species as well as a very varied landscape. For those who dream of experiencing the animal games in their natural environment, India is an obvious country to visit.
