Best Time for This Tour

October to March is the best time for the Andaman Taj Mahal tour: calm seas in the Andamans and cool days in Delhi and Agra. December and January mornings in Delhi and Agra can be foggy, and the islands are busiest then, so book early. April to June is very hot in Agra, and June to September brings rough seas to the islands.
