Make your guided tour in October to March as this is the best time to visit for sightseeing as the weather is pleasant and cool. Also, this is the time to see the grand spectacles that are the traditional festivals, and from September they follow in quick succession. The Festival of Light or Diwali is quickly followed by the Ganga Festival in November when the city is overwhelmed by pilgrims coming to take the water of the Ganges.
India can be one of the cheapest holiday destinations with regard to costs while there. On custom tour typical daily prices we found were around 950 RS for accommodation and 460 RS for food. This was eating at mid-range cafes and try to negotiate a price before you order. Travel is inexpensive with trains being the cheapest but the most overcrowded. Always best to book your tours in advance if possible.
Remember to dress appropriately and respect the locals and their beliefs. Make sure you consult your Doctor to find out what vaccinations or boosters you may need before you go. Take medicines with you for sickness and the dreaded Dehli Belly although rare it can be unpleasant and draining. Eat street food when prepared fresh in front of you, drink plenty of bottled water and apply sunscreen even on cloudy days
Weather in Varanasi in the summer months from April to October is hot and in May and June temperatures can reach 45º. Not the best time to visit for sightseeing as there is also the ‘loo’ a dry wind that hits the city and makes it impossible to venture outside. Even when the rains come in July temperatures only drop slightly, but the humidity rises. October to March are the best times with temperatures of 5-15º, and it is pleasantly cool.
