November is a fantastic month for international travel — bringing in crisp autumn in the highlands, cooler desert breezes, and dry, pleasant weather across much of Southeast Asia and the Middle East. With clear skies, fewer crowds, and rich cultural experiences, it’s an ideal time for immersive trips. Here’s your destination-wise guide to the best international places to visit in November.

Excellent to Visit in November

Bhutan
One of the best times to visit. Post-monsoon clarity, cool air, and vibrant fall foliage make for scenic treks and peaceful monastery visits. Great for Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha.

Nepal
Peak trekking season continues with clear skies, mild temperatures, and outstanding views in Everest and Annapurna regions. Also excellent for Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Vietnam
Central Vietnam (Hoi An, Da Nang) is at its best, and southern regions like Ho Chi Minh City start their dry season. Ideal for culture, food, and beach exploration.

Thailand
One of the most pleasant months across the country. Dry weather in Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and the islands. November also brings Loy Krathong and Yi Peng festivals in the north.

Cambodia
Start of the dry season, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Perfect for exploring Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, and Tonle Sap without the heat.

Jordan
Cool and dry — great for desert adventures in Wadi Rum, cultural walks in Petra, and floating in the Dead Sea. One of the most comfortable months for travel.

Oman
Excellent weather for wadi swimming, desert glamping, and mountain hikes. Visit Muscat, Nizwa, and Jebel Akhdar for a perfect blend of nature and heritage.

Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Tourism season peaks with cool temperatures (~24–30°C) and sunny skies. Great for beaches, dune bashing, and city attractions.

South Africa
Late spring brings ideal conditions for Cape Town, the Winelands, and Garden Route drives. It’s also a good time for safaris with lush greenery and newborn wildlife.

Good to Visit in November (Slight Seasonal Watch)

Georgia
Fall transitions into early winter. Tbilisi and wine regions are still enjoyable, though mountain regions begin to close. Great for food, culture, and autumn charm.

Azerbaijan
Baku and lowlands are pleasant and cool. Great for urban travel, cultural events, and seaside walks. Mountain areas become chilly but still accessible early month.

Kazakhstan
Cities like Almaty are crisp and cool, great for city life, café culture, and scenic views. Outdoor nature starts to wind down before winter sets in.

Singapore
Humid and rainy at times, but manageable. Great for shopping festivals, gardens, and family attractions. Deepavali sometimes falls in early November.

Malaysia
West coast (Langkawi, Penang) still works with moderate showers. East coast is in monsoon — avoid Perhentian and Redang islands.

Qatar
Cooler temperatures make it perfect for desert safaris, cultural events, and city breaks in Doha. Outdoor dining and festivals pick up in November.

Saudi Arabia
An excellent time for AlUla, heritage circuits, and exploring Riyadh and Jeddah. Weather is comfortable for long explorations.

Kenya
Short rains may occur, but early November still works for safaris in Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha. Fewer tourists, and landscapes are green.

Fair – Monitor Conditions

Hong Kong
Weather improves significantly — dry and cooler, but still slightly humid. A good time for city travel, hikes, and harbor views, especially later in the month.

Armenia
Cold sets in, especially in mountain areas. Yerevan remains pleasant for urban tourism, but rural routes and outdoor sites are less ideal.
