In April there is a decline in the tourist flow, as the season begins very high temperatures reaching 40°C accompanied by dry winds and air humidity of 80 - 100%.

You can also find a large one there National Park Kaziranga, home to exotic animals.

When choosing a trip in April, you should pay attention to the presence of air conditioning in the hotel, since your room will be the only place where you can hide from the sweltering heat. By the way, in Goa the air temperature reaches +35°C, and the water +30°C.

The same applies to excursions; in order to avoid the sun, you should go for walks early in the morning.
