Plan your trip to India which has such a wide range of climatic changes, that it's impossible to pick up the best time to visit with any certainty, though it is broadly advised to visit India in the months of October to March, which tend to be the most pleasant months all over the country. April to June can be very hot and from July to September the Monsoons can make travel unpleasant.
