Best Time to Visit Delhi

The best time to visit Delhi is October, November, December, January, February, and March as this is the peak season, and there will not be much crowd during this period. Meanwhile, in July, August, and September-not too hot, not too cold-you can face some problems due to a lot of people. Peak season would see foggy mornings and chilly evenings, while the days would be sunny and pleasant. Apart from historic places, you can also enjoy Delhi’s festive season, an international trade fair and a world book fair. If you are a shopping lover, you can also grab some shopping markets like Sarojini Nagar market, Janpath Market, Chawri Bazar and Sadar Bajar.
