March marks the beginning of a steady transition until the monsoon season moves through, bringing some relief to countries plagued by scorching temperatures and high humidity. Take advantage by traveling to the Indian sub-continent in March, one of the best places to visit in March for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. This period falls within the “shoulder” season between the wet and dry months. South India is a perfect example—Kerala remains pleasant for most of March, as April to June marks the summer time with maximum temperatures around 33 degrees centigrade. Traveling to South India just after the peak season ensures less busy beaches and more affordable hotels.
