March is a transition month in India, where the chill of winter fades and spring warmth begins to spread across most regions. It’s one of the best times for festival experiences, wildlife safaris, and hill station escapes, with pleasant weather across the country. Whether you're exploring ancient temples, trekking through forests, or joining Holi celebrations, March offers something for every traveler.

Excellent to Visit in March

Rajasthan
Days begin to warm, but the weather remains comfortable and dry, making March perfect for exploring palaces, forts, and desert towns. It’s also Holi season — a fantastic time to visit Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur for colorful celebrations.

Goa
Post-peak season calm sets in. Expect sunny days, cool nights, and fewer crowds. March is perfect for relaxed beach holidays, water sports, and discovering Portuguese heritage towns like Old Goa and Panjim.

Kerala
The weather remains dry and lush before the summer heat arrives. Ideal for backwater cruises, tea gardens in Munnar, wildlife spotting in Thekkady, and beach escapes in Varkala and Marari.

Tamil Nadu
Comfortable weather for exploring Madurai, Thanjavur, and the temple circuits. Coastal towns like Rameswaram and hill stations like Kodaikanal are peaceful and scenic.

Karnataka (Coorg, Hampi, Gokarna)
Dry season is perfect for visiting Hampi’s ruins, coffee plantations in Coorg, and Gokarna’s serene beaches. The weather is ideal for both cultural and nature-based trips.

Uttarakhand (Rishikesh, Nainital, Jim Corbett)
March is a fantastic time for Rishikesh, just before the spiritual crowds arrive in April. Visit Jim Corbett for wildlife safaris and Nainital for early spring lake views.

Madhya Pradesh
Dry forests make wildlife spotting easier in parks like Kanha, Bandhavgarh, and Pench. The Khajuraho Dance Festival often takes place in late February or early March.

Assam & Meghalaya
Post-winter freshness and cool temperatures make it great for Shillong, Cherrapunji, and Kaziranga National Park, which is in full wildlife season.

Uttar Pradesh (Varanasi, Agra)
Clear skies and Holi festivities in Mathura and Vrindavan make March magical. Visit Varanasi for river rituals and Agra for the Taj Mahal under perfect skies.

Good to Visit in March (Slight Seasonal Watch)

Himachal Pradesh (Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala)
The snow begins to melt in lower altitudes, making it a lovely time for valley views, forest walks, and end-of-season snowfall in some regions.

Delhi NCR
Cool mornings and warm afternoons make March great for monument hopping, shopping, and cultural festivals. The Lodi Garden, India Gate, and Humayun’s Tomb shine in this weather.

Punjab (Amritsar, Ludhiana)
Comfortable days and festive mood during Hola Mohalla, celebrated after Holi in Anandpur Sahib. Visit Amritsar for a more peaceful Golden Temple experience.

Odisha (Puri, Bhubaneswar, Konark)
March offers sunny days and sea breeze, ideal for temple tours and beach walks in Puri. Explore Konark Sun Temple and Chilika Lake under clear skies.

Gujarat
Weather remains good for Rann of Kutch, Dwarka, and Gir National Park. It's a shoulder month — travel before summer arrives in full force.

Fair – Monitor Conditions

Ladakh
Still winter in full swing. Limited to Leh city area and Chadar Trek (if it hasn’t closed). Road access to Nubra and Pangong is not yet open.

Darjeeling & Sikkim
March is early spring — great for clear views, but chilly mornings and occasional snowfall in higher areas may affect travel. Check local weather updates before visiting.

Arunachal Pradesh
Beautiful and offbeat, but infrastructure limitations and cold in higher passes make it more suitable for experienced explorers.
