Indore Best Time to Visit: Seasons of Splendor
High Season: October–March
That is the best time to visit Indore from October to March. During this time, the city revels in glorious weather with temperatures between 10 ºC (50 ºF) to 25 ºC (77 ºF). The weather is perfect for indulging in the historical, cultural experiences Indore has to offer with the sun shining through clear skies.
In these months you can stroll through the lively Sarafa Bazaar and smell sizzling street food wafting about. Dine on the famous Indori Poha-Jalebi while you rub shoulders with locals! Not only this, but this season is filled with festivals such as Diwali and Makar Sankranti, allowing you a chance to celebrate with the locals.
Medium Season: September and March to June
Indore came alive right at the seat of the monsoon at the start with a wash of velvety green foliage in September. Temperatures are pleasantly mild, varying from a balmy 20°C (68°F) to as warm as important adopted 30°C (86°F). The green charm of Indores forests, lakes and low hills are worth exploring at this time of the year and the rains make the city more appealing to be in.
The March to June period isn’t quite as straightforward, though. Although the temperature begins to climb — it can reach 40°C (104°F) in May — evenings are cooler, making it comfortable to walk around the city. But if you are on the look for some adventure then don’t let this get to you. An off-season period during which the crowds will be at their thinnest — and attractions, all the more personal.
Low Season: June — August
Ah, the monsoon season! Though you may be tempted to avoid travel during these months, don’t discount the magic of what the rains have to offer. Indore receives heavy rainfall from June to August, and the city transforms into a lush green oasis. Dropping to about 25°C (77°F), it is a refreshing place to be for rain lovers.
Out of all the seasons this off-season has its own beauty, especially for photography lovers. It’s a visual feast with beautiful landscapes and colors. Just be sure to bring an umbrella and good shoes, as the rains can be heavy at times!
