Delhi in June
Will be in Delhi in June & was thinking of touring Agra, Udaipur etc for a few days. I'm not so fussed about the heat, but is the rain a major issue in June? Some agents say I'll be ok as it really gets going in July, others say it's really bad in June!
As ever, many thanks in advance.

Most June rains are pre-monsoon and not that heavy. If you hit monsoon rains, then road/train travel can be a headache.

I was last there in 97. Landed in the middle of the night from FRA and it was something like 45C! Day time, all i managed to do was get some sleep. Didn't dare step out. This was in Sep.

June will be hot and humid. The trains aren't air conditioned, at least not like they are here. Don't take anything less than first class if you go by rail -
you'll be miserable (and crowded). I always take food and water to avoid "Delhi belly" when I'm away from a known safe source. Travelling by private car is easier and gives you more flexibility. If you go to Udiapur, stay at the Lake Palace.
