in India: when to go?
tropical de mousson climate
L'Inde offre un climat tropical de mousson avec trois saisons bien distinctes qui rythment la vie du sous-continent. La saison sèche (octobre à mars) reste la période idéale pour découvrir les merveilles du Triangle d'Or - Delhi, Agra et Jaipur - avec des températures agréables et un ciel généralement dégagé. L'hiver indien (décembre-février) séduit par sa douceur, parfait pour explorer les palais du Rajasthan ou naviguer sur le Gange à Varanasi. À partir d'avril, la chaleur devient intense avant l'arrivée de la mousson (juin-septembre) qui apporte pluies diluviennes mais aussi fraîcheur bienvenue. Cette période humide, bien que spectaculaire, complique les déplacements et rend certaines routes impraticables. Pour profiter pleinement des sites emblématiques comme le Taj Mahal, des plages de Goa ou des backwaters du Kerala, privilégiez novembre à mars. Les festivals colorés de Holi et Diwali animent également cette haute saison touristique.
