ADDITIONAL INFO
WHAT IS THE TIME ZONE?
India operates on a single time zone called Indian Standard Time (IST), which is:
🕒 UTC +5:30 hours
That means when it’s 12:00 noon in London (GMT), it’s 5:30 PM in India. India does not observe daylight saving time, so the time remains the same year-round.
WHAT IS THE WEATHER?
India experiences a diverse climate due to its vast geography. Here's a general idea:
Summer (April to June): Hot and dry, especially in North & Central India, temperatures can reach 40°C+ (104°F).
Monsoon (July to September): Rainy season across most of the country, especially the South and coastal areas.
Autumn/Winter (October to March): The best time to visit! Cooler, pleasant weather across most regions, ideal for sightseeing.
Hill stations & mountains (e.g., Kashmir, Himachal, Sikkim) can be much colder year-round, sometimes snowy in winter.
Check the weather for your specific destinations before packing or ask us for guidance!
WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE?
India has two official national languages, Hindi and English. While Hindi is widely spoken across much of the country, English is commonly used for tourism, business, and government services, especially in cities and travel hubs.
Additionally, India is home to 22 officially recognized regional languages like Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, and Malayalam, each dominant in different states.
Don’t worry, our guides and support team communicate in English or the requested language at the time of booking to ensure a smooth travel experience for all international guests.
