Best Time To Visit Varanasi For Weather And Tourism
The best season to plan a visit to Varanasi would be from October to March, when the weather favors the guides and visitors as the temperature drops from 10-25 °C. The cold winters make the Ganga Aarti an aesthetical pleasure, and the crowd available to witness the grandeur is significantly low compared to the immense crowd present when vacationers flock the place during the hot weather to witness the maximum temperature touching 45 °C. The monsoon season from July to September results in flooding of the Ghats of Varanasi,
thereby making the Dev Deepawali festival hard to reach and access; apart from the floodwaters, the steps are very slippery because of the continuous rainwater. Visiting Varanasi in the spring season in February and March, would be ideal as the season offers the feast of colors from the Holi festival, along with the majestic colors painted all over the Ghats.
Is there a festival you would like to attend while visiting Varanasi?
The huge rush of visitors present to enjoy the colored lightings of the Varanasi Ghats while celebrating the festival of Diwali or Mahashivratri in October and/or November and/or February and/or March would be very difficult to gauge since a huge rush of visitors tends to visit the place during the same time. Varanasi Tourism reaches its peak during these festivals as travelers from across India and the world come to experience the spiritual charm and cultural beauty of the city. Most visitors traveling to Varanasi choose to visit the place during the scorching hot weather of the season (summer season from May to September) in order to escape the scorching sun radiating huge amounts of heat during daytime. Some Highlights of the Vacationers Rush to Visit Varanasi During the Festivals Are:
Dev Deepawali (November): The million lightings shining on the Ganges; The magnificent display of Fireworks; The ecstatic extravaganza of the Ganga Mahotsav festival following the Dev Deepawali celebration; The Nag Nathaiya tribute paid to the Serpent gods worshipped by the great Lord Shiva.
