India in April

Hello. I am planning a solo six week trip to India mid-April to end of May. In researching, I have come up with a preliminary trip itinerary and would like to have some input.

I would like to visit the following places:
Rajastan, Agra, Jaipur, Jodphur Agra, Varanarsi, Goa, Kerala.
My major concern is the weather during this time of travel.

Would prefer to start in the North and then end in the south with a long leisurely stay in Kerala practicing yoga. Given the hot weather should I devote more time in the cool environs of the north?

Himshal Pradrash (forgive my spelling) has been recommended to me. Any ideas on that?

I welcome all suggestions.

Thanks!

The cool environs of the north???

Not in May definitely - it's getting pretty hot in Rajasthan and the Ganges plain. I think it would be better for you to see the North first and then head South.

People are often confused by this reverse climate of what you might expect - cooler in the North and hotter in the South.

Any of the Himalayan hill stations in Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal will be much cooler than places like Delhi and Agra.

I can't imagine doing six weeks of your itinerary in the summer by choice. We'd suggest you rethink your destinations and stay up in the hills/mountains.

you will get used to the heat and be fine. your original plan sounds good. have fun!
