Bodh Gaya in March
Bihar, India
Go in March—it's the last month with genuinely comfortable daytime heat before April's intensity, crowds thin after peak season, and meditation-focused visits feel less rushed.
March is the sweet spot between pilgrim season and the approaching heat. Mornings under the Bodhi Tree are still perfect, and you get more breathing room than peak months.

Come early March for the best of both worlds — warmth without the furnace.
