What our customers ask about India Tours in May 2026
What is the weather like in India during May?
May brings intense heat across India's Golden Triangle with temperatures ranging from 35-45°C (95-113°F). The warmest conditions are found in Delhi Agra and Jaipur. Kerala offers milder conditions around 28-32°C (82-90°F). As one TourRadar traveler notes: "The early morning Taj Mahal visit was perfect timing to beat the intense May heat." Most visitors find relief in air-conditioned hotels such as the Courtyard by Marriott in Agra which serves as a cool retreat during peak afternoon heat.
How are wildlife safaris affected by May weather in India?
The hot weather creates prime conditions for wildlife viewing as animals gather near water sources. Parks like Ranthambore and Jhalana schedule early morning safaris starting at 6 AM. Past visitors report excellent sighting opportunities with one TourRadar traveler sharing: "Our morning safari at Ranthambore in May gave us three amazing tiger sightings as they came to cool off near the lakes." Properties like Ranthambore Regency position guests close to park entrances for convenient safari access.
What are the benefits of visiting the Taj Mahal in May?
Clear morning skies in May provide excellent conditions for viewing the Taj Mahal especially during sunrise tours that begin at 5:45 AM. The early starts help visitors avoid midday heat and crowds. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The morning light in May created perfect photo opportunities at the Taj Mahal." Several hotels including Crystal Sarovar Premiere offer locations within quick reach of the monument.
Is May a good time for Kerala backwater tours?
The Kerala backwaters remain accessible in May before monsoon season arrives. Modern houseboats come equipped with shade covers and cooling systems for comfortable cruising. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Our May backwater cruise in Alleppey was comfortable with cool breezes and fantastic views." Companies like Lakes & Lagoons operate premium vessels designed for hot weather comfort.
How much does a May tour in India typically cost compared to other months?
Tours in May tend to cost 15-20% less than peak season prices. A Golden Triangle tour priced at USD 1499 during high season often drops to USD 1299 in May. One TourRadar traveler reports: "We got excellent deals on both hotels and tours during our May visit." Even luxury chains like Oberoi and Taj reduce their rates during this period.
What are the best places to visit in India during May?
South India destinations like Cochin Kumarakom and the Kerala backwaters offer comfortable conditions in May. Wildlife viewing excels at Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The backwaters of Kumarakom were an unforgettable experience. Every day we enjoyed a different experience about the South India culture." Northern sites like the Taj Mahal and Amber Fort are best explored during early morning or evening hours. Major hotel chains provide air-conditioned bases between excursions.
