We would like to travel for approximately two weeks, inclusive of international flights (roughly ten days in India). We'd like to see the usual tourist sites in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur as well as spending a few days in one of the national parks in the hopes of catching a glimpse of a tiger.
Main question: Are we insane to consider traveling in late December/early January, especially with children? Will the heat just be too stifling to enjoy sight-seeing?
Thanks in advance!
As has been mentioned, the heat won't be a problem. It will likely even be cool enough to need a jacket in the evenings. Fog is also a consideration during Dec/Jan when flights and trains in Delhi/Agra can be delayed.
If you can get over the often insane prices of flying to India during the Christmas season, it is a great time to visit.
