When to go ?
When to go overland Turkey / Central Asia (‘stans) / Pakistan / India / Nepal ?
In about the next year we intend setting out on a 6 month trip as above. I would be very grateful for some practical advice from those who have been, or are currently travelling on our proposed route regarding the best time to do it.
I had initially thought October time, but then thought that’s not good for say northern India and the mountains, but fine for southern India / Pakistan.
Then I thought April time, and wondered about Eastern Turkey early in the journey, and the further east or southern India in August.
I appreciate it is all relative, and a balance between hot / cold / dry / wet will have to be made. I also appreciate there is info on monsoon timings and temperatures for each area / country, but what would be good would be some practical first hand knowledge. It certainly appears there are ‘peak’ times for many of the overland routes.
I failed in my searches for this info across the site – but I’m sure it’s been answered a few times, if anyone knows the link I’d be grateful ! I appreciate there is a wealth of info on the individual constituent countries on the site and in books that can be compiled, but first hand knowledge counts for a lot.
The security and stability issues can be overlooked at present ! Just weather rather than whether for now !
Thanking you in advance.
