September being the last month of the monsoon season, there is an opportunity to travel the best places and explore the beauty of the seasonal festivals. While the northern and Himalayan states experience a cooler September, down south, this month is characterised by a warm but pleasant weather. Because this is still counted as rainy season, most tourist destinations in India are scarcely crowded and rates are pretty discounted. Some of the best places to visit in India in September include Srinagar, Leh, Ziro (Arunachal Pradesh), Kochi, Rishikesh and Jaipur. Some major festivals like Onam (South India), Navratri and Dussehra (North and West India) and the Fair Festival of Music (Arunachal Pradesh) fall in this month.
