If you want to be sure of getting some sun, go between October and February, especially if you're going south.

February through May are also lovely, though more humid, so make sure you travel in an air-conditioned carriage.

The months of December and January are quite busy in India, and most small group rail journeys do not operate during this time. When it comes to tailor-made vacations, prices are also high.

If your train travel brings you through Rajasthan, October to March is the greatest season to visit because the days are sunny, not too humid, and the evenings are cooler. April, May, and June are the hottest months in the desert.

Your journey will be bright the whole time if you travel during the festive season of Diwali in October or November and lasts a week. March is Holi Festival, the wonderful festival of colour.

No matter when you travel, the Travel Bond is bound to make your journey full of joyous memories.
