Best Time to Visit

The best months to visit are from October to March, when the weather in Delhi is cool and pleasant for walking around the large complex. Avoid the peak summer months of May and June, as temperatures can exceed 40°C, making the experience uncomfortable. The monsoon season from July to September sees heavy rainfall. Visiting during Diwali (October/November) can be special due to festive decorations, but expect very large crowds.
Peak Crowd: October-February, weekends, and all national and school holidays, when pleasant weather attracts the most visitors.
Moderate Crowd: March, September, and weekdays during the tourist season.
Low Crowd: April-June due to extreme summer heat and July-August on monsoon weekdays.
