June marks the start of the monsoon season in (southern) India. India experiences an average temperature of 29°C (84°F), so it is still hot. Around 60 mm (2 inches) of rain falls in northern India, but over 400 mm (16 inches) in southern India!
Monsoon season doesn't mean it rains nonstop or even every day, but rain often comes on suddenly, and it can last for hours, although it is sometimes brief.
Because of the monsoon, flights and hotels will offer some discounts. So, June is one of the best times to visit India for good value of money.
India Weather in June Overview

- Average daytime temperature range in most areas of India: 25–34°C (77–93°F)
- Average rainfall: 211 mm (8 inches)
- Average rainy days: 12
- Average sunny days: 18
Weather in Central North India (Delhi, Taj Mahal, Rajasthan...)
The rain really arrives in central north India at the end of June. If you're looking for a place with relatively little rain for travel in June in India, central northern cities are better than the south. Cities like Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi stay dry and hot until then.
Average high temperatures can still be around 35°C (95°F) in June. When it rains, it becomes both humid and hot.
Weather in Southern India: Mumbai, Goa, Kerala...
Southern India suffers monsoon deluges from the beginning of June. The monsoon starts first in Kerala. Then it travels up north along the east and west coast.
It arrives in Goa and Mumbai in earnest by mid-June, and then makes it way up to the north. Many beach resorts and restaurants will be closed for the monsoon season.
Meanwhile, the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the east coast is usually less affected by the monsoon. So, it could be a good place to explore, with its relatively dry conditions, colonial architecture, and spectacular temples.
Northern Mountainous Regions: The Himalayan Foothills
The northern mountainous regions in June stay relatively cool and it barely rains due to the rain shadow effect. The temperature gets up to 15°C (59°F) to 20°C (68°F) in the day, but is cool at night.
The hill stations ai the Himalayan foothills, like Shimla, are among the most popular destinations for cooler weather, beautiful valley views, and Buddhist culture.

The Best 7 Places to Visit in India in June
Since most cities in southern India are particularly affected by the monsoon in June, it is better to consider the less-affected cities in the north. There are also a few cities in the south that are not so affected by the rain. See our 7 recommended places for June:

1. Delhi — Heart of India

Delhi doesn't receive much rain in June, especially in early June. So, you can still enjoy relatively dry weather. But the temperatures do stay high.
Midday visiting should be avoided due to the scorching heat. You could visit Delhi's largest mosque in the morning and observe worshippers. Then, take a rickshaw ride tour of Chandni Chowk market before it gets too hot.
In the afternoon when the temperature goes down a little, visit two of Delhi's World Heritage sites — Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb. The latter was the inspiration for the Taj Mahal.
2. Agra — City of the Taj

The heat scares away many would-be visitors to Agra in June. But, apart from that, Agra is one of the best places to spend June in India, due to its low rainfall.
Though it's impossible to avoid the heat completely, reasonable arrangements can make your experience much better.
You can visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise when the temperature is relatively low. Getting incredible photos of the glowing Taj will be the reward.
During the hottest period, you can enjoy a cool time in the hotel, which could have a view of the Taj Mahal from its infinity pool.
You could visit Agra Fort in the late afternoon. The sunset will enhance its splendor.
3. Jaipur — The Pink City

Similar to Delhi and Agra, Jaipur is also much less affected by the rainy season in June. There you can explore magnificent forts and princely palaces like Hawa Mahal (‘Palace of the Winds'). It is best known for its pink walls lined with nearly a thousand wisely-designed windows, which allow wind to blow in from all angles.
A good idea to avoid the heat is to go to the home of a local Jaipuri where you can learn about basic Indian ingredients and spices and cook a meal of authentic local dishes following the host's instructions.
A staycation in a luxury resort is a also good choice. See our Best 10 Resorts in India for Couples and Families for Luxury Experience
4. Tamil Nadu — Ancient Indian Culture

As the main rain-bringing wind in June is the southwest monsoon, Tamil Nadu, located in the southeast, is less affected.
There you can visit the first English fortress in India — in Chennai. Tamil Nadu is also known as the land of temples, where you can find some of the finest Hindu temples in India.
Saraswathi Mahal Library, which is one of the oldest libraries in Asia, is also a big attraction. Check out our 12-Day Historical and Idyllic South India Tour
5. Hampi — Ruins of Medieval India

Hampi, in the south, is also one of the places less affected by the monsoon.
It is said that there are nearly 3,700 historical sites scattered over 37 square km (14 square miles), containing the picturesque ruins of a 15th-century city full of old temples, palaces, and forts. It offers glimpses of the luxurious lives of the rich at that time.
There you can see a rare stone chariot, which can still operate. The Virupaksha Temple and the Hanuman Temple sitting on a hilltop offer great views of the surrounding ruins.
If you are interested in it, see more on our 7-Day Off the Beaten Path South India Tour.
6. Shimla — Summer Capital of British India

If you are looking for a cool place to visit with little rain, then you might consider some of the hill stations located in the foothills of the Himalayas, like Shimla.
Shimla used to be the summer capital of British India. There you can visit its most famous temple, Jakhu Temple, which is dedicated to the monkey god of Hinduism. Explore the history of British India and see the Victorian-style buildings in Shimla's Mall Road.
7. Leh — Fresh Valley Views

Leh, located in the far north, is also a prefect summer resort. In June, Leh will experience a daily high temperature of 21°C (70°F) and a daily low temperature of 7°C (45°F). Rainfall averages only 4 mm (0.2 in).
Indulged in the sweeping pristine landscapes, humongous mountain faces, lovely hiking trails, and the bubbling rivers flowing through the valleys.
Cost and Crowds
If you don't mind the heat (or rain), you could enjoy the sights with fewer tourists in June as the monsoon season descends on India. Flights and hotels can be found at a discount for many places.
What to Bring/Wear
It is suggested to bring an umbrella, raincoat, and non-slip shoes when visiting rain-affected places in India during this June.
For other places dress for the heat… or for cooler conditions in the far north. Bring ample sun protection.

Thailand, Singapore, Bali
In Thailand, Tanny and Nori(Suparp), were both incredible! They were both fun, funny, and full of knowledge and made sure we got the full experience. They went the extra mile and always made sure we had cold bottled water and towels to cleanse our hands. In Singapore, Nicole was an absolute gem. She was so kind and knowledgeable and guided us in the right direction to make our day as enjoyable as possible. She helped us choose a top notch local lunch and coffee spot in China Town and taught us so much about the country! In Bali, Emon was an absolute joy. He was very knowledgeable and kind and absolutely made sure we were feeling comfortable and was willing to be flexible with us. He was fun to converse with and made our time traveling between destinations so enjoyable! I cannot recommend Asia Highlights enough! Accommodations, travel arrangements and guided tours were all a breeze. More

Large multi-generational holiday in Thailand
The holiday was wonderful. Our guides, Mr Monchai (Bangkok), and Ms Tipagorn (Tippy) (Chiang Mai) were exceptional. Travelling in a large multigenerational group with many children requires patience and our guides truly understood that. Mr Monchai and Ms Tippy shared their extensive knowledge of the many wonderful places we visited, and were flexible to take us to additional places along the way based on discussions. While everyday was busy, having them greet us with patience and a smile truly made this a memorable holiday. The hotels we stayed at were equally wonderful and went above and beyond to celebrate not only my parents 50th anniversary but also celebrate 2 milestone birthdays that occurred. We will cherish this holiday for many years to come. We hope to use Asia Highlights again. More

Wonderful Guides and Experience
Our large group arrived in Bangkok with Tanni as our guide. She was wonderful! An absolute joy to spend time with. She is knowledgeable, kind, and extremely funny. I don’t know what we would have done without her! After Bangkok, we traveled to Chang Mai, where Indy was our tour guide. She was a delight! She is kind, knowledgeable, and so patient. Our trip to Thailand was an adventure of a lifetime and these two women helped make it memorable. I would definitely use Asia Highlights for any future travel in Asia. More

Guide - Chai
We travelled from Vietnam to Bangkok and were blessed to have a guide named Chai. He was a superb guide and it is a pity we couldn't bottle him and take him home. He was very knowledgeable and an absolute gentleman. He could not have done enough to facilitate us and imparted so much knowledge about the Temples, Buddism and the History of Thailand in general. Not only did he give us a great overview of the past and current ways of living in Thailand but I also feel I came away a much better person having interacting with him. I will carry many of his teachings with me for the rest of my life and know that having met him was a very special blessing in my life. More

We are only on day 5 of our 15 day trip…
Our first stop so far was in Hanoi where our guide Trong was just so awesome! He shared about his culture and family life which showing us sites through a city tour. He was so funny making lots of jokes and always made sure we were having fun while learning about everything! He checked on us frequently even when we were no longer with him since we then went on a cruise in Halong Bay! Halong Bay and the cruise on Paradise Elegance went way above anything I expected. The scenery was breathtaking, the ship was so beautiful and clean with such fresh, good food! And I can’t sing enough praise for the staff who took care of us- especially Anna and Belle! They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every aspect from eating meals with Anna to every other detail with Belle! I highly recommend Asian Highlights to help plan these extraordinary trips! This already has been a trip of a lifetime and we still have so much more to see all thanks to Cathy!! More

Tanni was amazing! She did all the thinking for us, so we all could just be present and enjoy the moment. I can’t recommend this company, and especially Tanni enough. More
