What to expect
Daytime
Fierce heat in India in April. Start early. Hide in the middle. Come out again when the sun drops.
This is not a month for a packed walking itinerary. Water, shade, and a schedule that admits the climate is in charge.
Rain
Rain is not the story in India in April. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
Do not build the trip around weather windows. Build it around shade if it is hot, and around getting outside if it is not.
Evening
Evenings stay warm.
What to pack
Sun protection
A layer for cooler evenings
