Where to visit in March

March is a delightful month to discover India and explore its stunning forts, palaces, tropical canals, and Hill Stations. Clear skies and warmer temperatures are typical in the Himalayan regions of India, Bhutan and Nepal. Wildlife enthusiasts can expect to enjoy better tiger spotting opportunities in central India as the pools dry in March, while the beaches of southwest Sri Lanka and the Maldives provide the perfect escapes from the often icy European and North American winds. March is also ideal for visiting Egypt, Oman and the UAE. While rains are not unknown in March, Jordan and Israel are covered with blossom and green meadows at this time of year. The arrival of spring in Tunisia sees temperatures starting to warm up, making it the perfect time for exploring the country’s UNESCO sites and Roman ruins. While the climate is pleasant in Saudi Arabia, the temperature will start to warm up in March.

March is a colourful month in India when the festival of Holi is celebrated, and in Saudi Arabia, Desert X in AlUla puts on a stunning contemporary art exhibition.
