Planning a trip to India often feels a little much because of the usual crowds, the very hot summer and the heavy rain (monsoon) season, which makes travel difficult. But trust us when we say that India in February is completely different.

It’s the best time to visit when the weather is nice, cool and dry everywhere. With clear skies and comfortable temperatures, it's quiet, it's pleasant, it's relaxing and yet it's adventurous and perfect for exploration.

The skies are clearer, making everything look a bit more vibrant, especially in photos. Plus, it’s when a lot of local festivals are starting or are about to start, so there's a great atmosphere in the air without the huge crowds.

Our clients love to travel to India to explore its culture, so we plan unforgettable and once-in-a-lifetime experiences for them. India offers incredible places and experiences but to get you started, here are our top 5 unforgettable experiences you need to try:

Is the Taj Mahal worth visiting in February?

Seeing the Taj Mahal, whether it's at sunrise or sunset, is always an amazing view, but in February, the colors will mesmerize you to the point you might even forget to take a picture. The amazing marble glow and the quietness associated with it feel more personal and more reflective.

You get to see the monument emerge from the mist without needing to fight a crowd for space. Hearing the beautiful story of the Taj Mahal with the view is a moment you’ll wish you get to experience again and again, like it’s the first time.

Why is February the best time to explore Rajasthan’s forts?

Rajasthan is full of incredible forts in cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur. Tourists generally avoid exploring them in the summer because of the intense heat. But during February you can spend hours wandering and taking in the views without feeling exhausted. The milder sun also brings out the colours of the "Pink City" of Jaipur and the "Blue City" of Jodhpur perfect for taking those Instagram-worthy pictures.

There are many forts located in Rajasthan and planning to visit all of them can become a bit complicated. This is where you can reach out to Fayyaz Travels. We have managed and planned the perfect balance for our clients according to their needs and interests and we can do the same for you.

Why should you plan a Kerala trip in February?

In Kerala, since its backwaters are a network of serene canals, lakes, and lagoons, you can glide along the water on a traditional houseboat. This is a very slow and relaxing way to watch the village life on the banks which is only possible in this comfortable weather of February. Many of our clients have told us that this is one of India’s most beautiful landscapes and they highly recommend it for everyone looking to travel here.

Why is February the best time to visit Ranthambore National Park?

If you’re interested in wildlife, this is one of the best times to visit Ranthambore National Park. The animals are more active in the cooler weather and they often come out to bask in the warm sun, which makes it more likely for you to spot them out in the wild. It's a thrilling experience to drive through the park in the cool morning air, waiting for a glimpse of a tiger.

What cultural festivals can you experience in India in February?

February marks the beginning of several cultural festivals across India. You can experience the famous Jaisalmer Desert Festival in Rajasthan, where folk music, camel races and cultural performances under the desert sky are sure to keep you entertained. 

Events like the Surajkund Mela near Delhi showcase crafts and traditions from all over India. It’s a great way to dive into the local culture and see a side of India that’s full of colour and energy. Finding accommodation during festival season can be a challenge, but Fayyaz Travels can help you book hotels with your favourite views and locations of your choosing.
