How To Reach Amritsar
The most delightful time to visit Amritsar is between October and March when the weather is just perfect for exploring this lively city in Punjab! During these months, temperatures are pleasantly comfortable, ranging from about 10°C to 25°C, a welcome break from the hot summer days and chilly winter nights. This lovely season of autumn and winter brings clear skies and mild days, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. In January, the temperatures dip to around 10°C, while the summer months of May and June can see the mercury rise to a sizzling 40°C. And don’t forget that July and August bring the monsoons, turning the cityscape into a beautiful canvas of lush greenery! While it remains warm during this time, the humidity can be pretty noticeable. If you prefer to stay dry and comfy while exploring, skipping the monsoons for your visit might be best!
