Weather Conditions
December mornings in Delhi are generally cool and pleasant, with temperatures often ranging between 8°C and 20°C. Early mornings may be chilly, with occasional fog or mist.
Winter is an excellent season for exploring the Yamuna floodplains, as several migratory bird species visit the region. The pleasant weather and seasonal bird activity make it an ideal time for birdwatching and nature photography.
We recommend wearing warm, comfortable clothing, sturdy walking shoes, and carrying a reusable water bottle, hat, and sunscreen.
