Comme vous voyez, je suis une petite nouvelle et j'ai lu déjà beaucoup de vos sujets. Merci à tous les membres, ce forum est une mine d'info !
J 'aimerais savoir les températures en altitude pour les régions nommées plus haut. La période de voyage est mi-septembre (Roumanie et Serbie) et fin septembre (Bosnie et Croatie). Je serai en moto et je me questionne si la veste chauffante est de mise à cette période. Est-ce que je risque de rencontrer de la neige sur la fameuse Transfagarasan et la Transalpina ?
Merci à tous
P.S: Motards, si vous avez des conseils sur la conduite dans ces pays ou des trucs particuliers à voir sans faute, je suis ouverte aux suggestions (même si j'ai déjà fait beaucoup de recherches sur le net et sur ce forum également).
bonjour Jennyfer, pour les températures en Roumanie en général, le mois de septembre est beau au alentour de 25/30° compter 10° en moins pour les deux routes citées.Par temps de pluie aussi les températures tombes rapidement le problème est au bivouac si vous camper les nuits sont fraîches.
La Tranalpina C67.c'est en moto (toute la longueur)de Sébes a la jonction de l'axe Tirgu-Jiu Rimnicu Valcéa N67=147km compter 3h50 de route +plus les arrêts.
il est plus prudent de faire ce tracé en fin de matinée et début d'après midi avec une pause a Obarsia-Lotrului, en raison des brouillards matinaux .
de la neige en cette période non pas de danger fin octobre pas avant.
pour la veste chauffante boff ?je laisse les motards répondre .
Pour la route Transfagarasan :7 C, plus courte 118km départ de Curtéa de Arges vers Sibiu.avec de nombreux arrêts compter la journée c'est trop beau ! Au lac balea 2000 m d'altitude un peut plus froid mais moins de vent que sur la transalpina bien protéger par les montagnes.ne pas ratez la cascade balea a mi-chemin entre le sommet et la vallée vers Sibiu.
si vous avez des motos trials une route est amusante a faire, (faite en 4x4) au barrage Vidra prenez la route a gauche du lac sous le tunnel, en routière oublier trop de risque de chute.(route de pierre)contournez le lac par la droite. possibilité de rencontre d'Ours sur cette route !pas agressifs il cherche a manger auprès des touristes.)
seul surprise "la pluie" je croise les doigts pour vous!
voila pour les deux routes les plus hautes a votre disposition pour plus de renseignement
amicalement Daniel.
oui il y a un sens pour la Transfagarasan du sud au nord pour la transalpina, du nord au sud tout dépend de ton point de passage entre la Serbie et la Roumanie de combien de temps tu dispose pour le séjour dans chaque pays, et d'ou tu part ?
De la route 67 fin de la Transalpina tu a 150km pour rejoindre Curtéa de Arges début de la Transfagarasan, par Rimnicu-Valcéa.
attention a la conduite Roumaine, c'est folklorique par moment (courbes coupées, dépassement sans grande visibilité lignes blanches chevauchées panneaux de prioritée pour décorer le bord des routes .lol ext)la plus grande prudence est de mise .et surtout ne pas se presser.attention aussi a la longueur des villes et villages tant que tu ne voie pas le panneau de fin de ville ne prend pas trop de vitesse.
la bonne Route comme l'ont dit chez nous les Routiers.amicalement Daniel.
Je comptais prendre 1 journée pour chaque route histoire de prendre plein de photo🙂
Je vais arriver par la Hongrie et ensuite passé en Serbie. En gros voici l'itinéraire (mais rien de couler dans le ciment) :
-Départ Allemagne (en express!)
-Passage express par République Tchèque
-Slovaquie (Bratislava seulement, 1jr)
-Hongrie (Budapest 3 dodos et peut-être quelques autres selon l'émotion du moment 😉)
-Roumanie (plusieurs jours, environ 1 semaine)
-Serbie (Nis, NoviSad, Belgrade donc plusieurs jrs, environ 5)
- Monténégro (quelques routes de montagne, 2jrs environ)
-Bosnie (surtout le sud, quelques jrs là encore)
-Croatie (toute la côte et aussi quelques lieux de tournage de Game of Throne, environ 4-5 jrs)
-Slovénie (quelques arrêts, environ3 jrs)
-Retour en Allemagne en express !
Total de 20 jrs pour tout ça !
Selon la température ou les découvertes, l'itinéraire sera modifié.
Ouhaa!!!! quel programme!
si tu n'aime pas rouler faut le dire ! lol. bien charger, quelques visites ou non ?seulement la nature.nuit en bivouac, ou chez l'habitant ?ou hôtel?pas chère du tout dans ce pays.ici les écoles reprennent le lundi 12 septembre il y auras de la place de libre partout.
si tu a besoin d'autre conseils 😉 amicalement Daniel.
Oui on va visiter des monastères, églises, lieux historiques, routes mythiques, etc.
Je n'apporte pas tout le matériel de camping (car je pars du Québec). Nous préférons les motels bon marchés, logement chez l'habitant, AIRBNB. Car de toute manière, je ne suis la que pour le dodo quelques heures...
Merci de tous tes conseils. J'en ai pris note.
Encore deux choses : j'imagine que la Transalpina et Transfagarasan sont a évité la fin de semaine ? Et a Dubrovnik, je dois m'attendre a payer combien pour une chambre ? On m'a parlé d'appartement que l'on peut louer ? Y a-t-il un système d'autobus (histoire de pas s'embêter avec les motos ainsi que tout l'équipement) si jamais nous prenons une chambre un peu a l'extérieur de Dubrovnik ?
il n'y a pas de problèmes majeurs pour les fin de semaine très peut de circulation sur la Transalpina un peut plus sur l'autre route plus fréquentée et plus ancienne d'avantage de chose a voire aussi déjà au départ le monastère de Curtea-de Arges qui se trouve sur la route C7 a la sortie de la ville .Avant la montée vers le barrage Vidraru les ruines du "véritable chateau de Vlad Sepes (Dracula)plus de 1000 marches a monter le poind de vue superbe se mérite !. puis le barrage et son lac, la zone de Capra avant les derniers lacets avant le tunnel quelques belles cascades , le point de vue sur le mont Moldovéanu montagne la plus haute de Roumanie et enfin le lac Baléa "glacière" , la superbe partie nord ses lacets célèbres et un peut plus bas la cascade Balea .
pour vos visites trois incontournables en Transylvanie Sibiu , Sighisoara (ville médiévale), et Brasov.(vielle ville) a faire dans cet ordre après la Transfagarasan.et si vous avez le temps dans la région de Brasov, les châteaux de Bran (Dracula)péles a Sinaia ancien château du roi de Roumanie.
si vous passer par la côte Adriatique ne pas manquer Kotor (Monténégro) une splendeur
pour dubrovnik, c'est la Croatie je n'y suis pas retourner depuis 1971 a cette époque je dormais dans mon camion 😎.si tu veux parler de Bucarest la capitale je te répondrais par message privé juste a demander. 😉 lol .amicalement Daniel.

Hi! I’m on vacation from 10/31 to 11/7 and want to go somewhere sunny. I’m leaving from Toulouse and the flight can’t be more than 5 hours.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help
We want to do a few safaris, visit villages, the mountains, see tea plantations, etc. But we also want to see turtles. We love snorkeling but aren’t experts—we’re just happy to see colorful fish and coral. We’ve always wanted to see turtles too, so the idea is still to see *something* underwater 😊
Can you tell us which regions to prioritize and which to avoid given the climate at this time of year? Thanks a million!
Hi, I’m taking a 13-day trip from September 27 to October 9 in Prague (4 nights), Vienna (4 nights), and Budapest (3 nights), in that order. What clothes should I pack for this time of year?
Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

hi
It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
