Spring (February to April)

February to April is ideal to visit Uttar Pradesh, with moderate temperatures (15-25°C). Enjoy festivals of India like Holi and Navratri in Uttar Pradesh. In the month of February to April you can also explore historical sites without the scorching heat. The Taj Mahal and other amazing monuments of UP are even more beautiful during this season.

Summer (May to June)

May and June are the hottest months of Uttar Pradesh (25-40°C). Personally I would not suggest planning a trip to UP in this season. Visit hill stations like Mysore and Nainital for a relaxing break. Participate in cultural events and festivals such as Buddha Purnima. But still if you want to plan a trip to Uttar Pradesh in Summer you should plan all itinerary for the evening like Sun set at Taj Mahal, Ganga Aarti in Varanasi, and visit birthplace of Lord Krishna in Mathura in evening after 6. 

Monsoon (July to September)

From July to September, there is heavy rainfall (20-30°C). Explore the lanes of Varanasi, the landmarks of Agra and the gardens of Lucknow. Enjoy boat rides and traditional street food.

Autumn (October to November)

October and November offer pleasant weather (15-25°C). You can attend Diwali celebrations, visit the temples of Mathura, and enjoy outdoor activities.

Winter (December to January)

December and January are cool (5-15°C). Visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise, explore the architecture of Lucknow, and enjoy the warm local cuisine.
