Delhi in February

Traveling to Delhi in February is a pretty nice experience if you’re looking to escape harsher winter chills elsewhere. The city tends to be quite pleasant, not too hot or cold, which makes wandering around much more enjoyable. You’ll find the air crisp and clear, a nice break from the usual haze that can settle in other parts of the year. It's a great time to explore Delhi's iconic landmarks like the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and India Gate without the overwhelming crowds or sweating buckets. Plus, the gardens and parks start to show some life after winter, making outdoor strolls a real treat.

That said, Delhi in February is a bit of a mixed bag because while the days are generally comfortable, the nights can still get chilly, so packing some layers is a smart move. The city’s vibe is lively with plenty of cultural events and festivals happening around this time, especially with things like the International Mango Festival kicking off, showcasing some local flavor. Food lovers will appreciate the street food scene, which is buzzing but not unbearably crowded. Just be ready for the occasional dust or smog flare-up, which can happen, but overall, February is a solid month to see Delhi at a pace that’s more relaxed than the peak tourist seasons.
