October in India — events that affect travel
Known cultural, religious, or national events that surge prices, fill hotels, or close businesses during this month. Plan around them, or build your itinerary around the ones you'd like to see.
India's biggest festival of light. Cities are stunningly decorated but very crowded; air quality in Delhi NCR plummets due to fireworks and crop burning. Hotels surge 50-100%.
Plan: Worth seeing once, but Delhi air quality is genuinely hazardous post-Diwali. Mumbai, Jaipur, Udaipur are safer for visitors.
