Travel Tips for Mumbai Travellers

  • Weather: Unlike Mumbai, Varanasi gets cold from December to February (around 5 to 8°C at night). Carry warm clothes for the early boat ride.
  • Summer: April to June is very hot and dry, so plan sightseeing in the morning and evening.
  • Best time: October to March. Dev Deepawali in November is the most beautiful time on the ghats.
