| Climate |
|
The
states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, the
Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana and Bihar can broadly
be categorised as falling in Northern Plains region.
These plains have rather extreme climatic conditions
throughout the year. During summer months, from
end-April to mid-July, it is time for proverbial
heat and dust. From mid-July to end September
it is rainy reason and the climate is humid and
hence a little uncomfortable for traveling. From
October it starts to get pleasant in North India;
by the end of November the climate is a little
cold but very much bearable. Only during December
and January that cold is rather too much in the
mornings and evenings; however, even during this
time of the year days are sunny and pleasant
