When to Visit Agra?
The best time to visit Agra, India, depends on your preferences. India is generally warm for most time of the year so it is wise to travel during the winter months from October to March.
During the winter months, the weather is pleasant, with highs in the low 80s Fahrenheit (around 27°C) and lows in the high 50s Fahrenheit (around 14°C). However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and larger crowds.
