When to visit
Mumbai is a fantastic year-round destination, but for the most comfortable holiday with your family, plan your visit between mid-October and April. During these months, the weather is dry and ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The high season from December to March may mean higher airfares and room rates, while the low season from June to September brings the lowest hotel rates but also the monsoon rains, so heavy rainfall and waterlogging of roads might hamper your travel plans. November to April remains the best time to visit Mumbai with your family as you'll experience the finest weather for exploring tourist attractions like Elephanta Caves, Marine Drive, Juhu Beach, Colaba Causeway, and the Gateway of India. As always, remember to plan your travels around school holidays to ensure the easiest and most enjoyable family getaway.
