When to visit New Delhi
High and low season in New Delhi
October through March is the sweet spot for visiting New Delhi. The weather is comfortable, skies are generally clear, and the city's monuments, markets, and food scene are easy to enjoy on foot. This is also peak season, so accommodation fills up quickly, especially around major holidays. Booking ahead gives you more choice and often better rates.
Summer brings intense heat to New Delhi, and the monsoon season that follows can make sightseeing unpredictable. That said, you'll find fewer international visitors and more room to move during these months. Prices tend to soften, and if you're flexible about outdoor plans, it can be a practical time to visit on a tighter budget.
