From the North of the country to the South, every region has pleasant weather and clear skies, perfect for sightseeing. After the hot summer and muggy monsoon, December\u2019s winter is a welcome change. Whether you want to learn more about India&#8217;s culture, discover the beaches or witness the desert landscapes, December offers multiple options for all travellers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Quick Note:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best place to visit in December in India completely depends on the type of experience you prefer. For beaches, you should visit Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Goa. For a hillside experience, visit Auli, Shimla and Wayanad. As for heritage and culture, you should visit Kutch, Delhi and Jaisalmer. However, for the wildlife experience, set out to explore Ranthambore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Weather in India in December<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">December is one of the best times to visit India, mostly because of the favourable weather conditions. Throughout the country, there is minimal rainfall and warm, sunny days. This is one of the perfect times of the year to explore India, especially to go sightseeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The perfect weather conditions make it easier for all travellers and tourists to experience the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best places to visit in India in December<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The average daytime temperature ranges up to 25\u00b0C. However, for destinations such as the Himalayan region, the temperature will be even lower. In North India, the weather is comfortable around this time, especially for sightseeing and activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">December is also an ideal time to visit South India. You can explore beaches like Varkala, Arambol and more. The weather is sunny, so you can try beachside activities here. However, for a more hillside-like experience, you should visit Wayanad, Munnar, and try hiking. The temperature usually ranges from mid-20 \u00b0C to high 20\u00b0C.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Festivals &amp; Events in December\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Rann Utsav (Kutch, Gujarat):<\/b> Also referred to as Kutch Mahotsav, this festival is one of the most prominent ones in the white sandy desert.

The India Gate adds to the splendour of Rajpath at one end while the magnificent Rashtrapati Bhavan crests the Raisina Hill at the other. The Red Fort still stands vigil over the old city and the history is palpable at Purana Qila and Humayun\u2019s Tomb. The multitude of places of worship such as the Akshardham Temple, the Lotus Temple and the Jama Masjid are the spiritual oases in the city.
