When we think of travelling to a new destination, we often try to know the most favourable climate in which the place can be visited. Generally, the cold, dry season is considered to be the best time when a new location can be visited. The scorching sweltering summers are never considered the ideal time for visiting a place since staying out of the house for long hours during the day can be challenging.
