Haryana
3 destinations scored for every month — sorted by this month's score
Haryana only hill station — modest but accessible, and Tikkar Taal is surprisingly pretty for something this close to Chandigarh.
Best month 16-28°C. Clear views of Shivalik range. All trails open. Ideal for day trips from Chandigarh.
Mughal gardens at the foot of the Shivaliks — and the most underrated heritage garden within 2 hours of Delhi.
Warm 20-32°C. Mornings pleasant for garden walks. Afternoons heating up. Visit before 11am recommended.
Where the Mahabharata war happened — or didn not — but the Brahma Sarovar and Krishna Museum make the mythology tangible.
Hot 22-38°C. Brahma Sarovar walkway exposed and punishing midday. Jyotisar open ground bakes. Only dawn and dusk visits viable. Carry water always.
