Je voudrai bien savoir s'il est possible de voyager en Inde aux mois de mai et juin. Plus particulièrement la partie Nord. Je crois savoir que c'est la saison ou les température sont les plus élevées.
Par ailleurs, on m'a dit que ce n'est pas non plus la bonne période pour faire un trek au Népal, sauf si on aime la Neige.
Qu'en pensez vous? Merci pour vos conseils. Sophie
Je ne peux malheureusement pas donner mon opinion pour le Népal.. mais pour l'Inde, Delhi et le Rajasthan, c'est très chaud et humide... à un tel point où nous cherchions toujours des chambres à 600-1000 roupies pour avoir l'air climatisé.. La bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'il s'agit également de la basse période pour le tourisme.. donc les bonnes chambres sont souvent TRÈS négociables! Il s'agit d'un petit caprice... certaines personnes dorment très bien avec cette chaleur... pas moi :P Si vous adaptez votre rythme de vie à la température... c'est faisable! Nous y étions en juin et nous n'avons presque pas gouté à la mousson.. Par contre, nous faisions nos visites tot le matin et nous trouvions une manière de nous reposer en PM.
Pour l'extrème nord (Daramshala, le Cachemire, etc...) la température est fraiche!
Ah, et au cas où on ne se reverrait pas d'ici là, je vous souhaite une bonne soirée et une excellente nuit !
Salut,
ayant séjourné a Delhi début juin en 2003: 47° la journée. Un peu moins la nuit... certes c'était l'année de la canicule et même en Inde ils étaient surpris. Tout dépend de ton rapport au climat. Mon souci était le peu de différence de température entre le jour et la nuit (sans clim, nuits torrides assurées !)
Bonjour,
j'envisage de me rendre dans le sud est de l'inde fin mai, dans la région du tamil Nadu avec ma petite fille de 7 ans. Nous ne craignons pas la chaleur mais je n'arrive pas à me faire une opinion si ça va être la canicule ou pas, supportable ou pas. Si certains ont été dans cette région à la même époque, votre avis m'intéresse. Merci par avance.
Bonjour,
Si tu vas dans l'Himalaya les températures seront supportables.. il y a des tas de possibilités: Himachal Pradesh, ( région de Manali) Garhwal ( région des sources du Gange), Cachemire, Lahoul, Zanskar Laddakh Spiti et aussi l' Inde du Nord est ( région de Darjeeling) Assam, Megalaya, Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh etc..Sikkim etc.. Et si tu veux faire un trek c'est l'idéal dans la région de Manali vers le Zanskar ou mieux le Spiti ( à partir de Juin) sinon ça peut aussi se faire au Népal mais ça sera plus humide ( début de mousson) le plus gênant en fait ce n'est pas temps la pluie ( averses courtes mais violentes) mais le fait que les sommets sont tout le temps dans les nuages..
Pour trouver la neige faut quand même monter au dessus de 4000m!.. Sinon toujours au Népal il y a le Mustang et le Dolpo où la mousson ne passe pas car on se trouve "derrière" les Annapurnas et le Dhaulagiri: altitude>8000m mais ce sont des treks qui reviennent cher.. ( Permis + avion) Si tu as les moyens le Mustang c'est le Top du top!
Salut,
Allez plutot au Kerala il y aura quelques averses de temps à autre ( mais pas vraiment la mousson) et la température sera plus supportable ..très peu de touristes; plus facile pour négocier le logement.. belles plages.. visite des backwaters..
Merci pour cette info. Je suis déjà allé la dernière fois dans le Kérala, superbe, aussi j'aimerai cette fois ci aller sur la côte est. Bonnes fêtes à toi.
Merci Djalma pour votre réponse. J'espère pouvoir le faire si je décide de partir dans l’Himalaya. Hum, par contre je comprends moins bien la comparaison au four.
J'espère pouvoir le faire si je décide de partir dans l’Himalaya.
Pas non plus besoin de monter très haut ni de faire de trek si c'est pas ce que tu recherches.. Tu peux aller dans des endroits +ou- touristiques où se réfugiaient les Anglais à la saison chaude avant l'indépendance.. Musoorie, Naini Tal Darjeeling... Personnellement j'ai assez aimé le Cachemire et sa capitale Srinagar avec ses houseboats ( péniches sur le lac Dal où on pouvait loger+ pension pour un très petit prix..) très beaux paysages de montagne toujours verts.. Il y a aussi la région de Manali, Manikaram fréquentée par les hippies dans les années 70/80 et encore après! Certainement très fréquentée de nos jours par les adeptes du trekking... Avec des temples un peu partout et surtout très facile d'accès et point de départ pour le Spiti ou le Zanskar (territoires bouddhistes d'altitude élevée) très difficile d'accès autrefois ( pas de piste ni de ponts!) mais sans doute possible en bus ou jeep de nos jours...Manali est la porte d'entrée la plus accessible pour le trekking..

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!
Marie
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
