March in South India

March is the start of the hot season in the plains, and many families turn to the hills. Ooty and Kodaikanal enter their popular season, while Coorg, Chikkamagaluru and Yercaud are still comfortable.

Afternoons in cities such as Chennai, Hyderabad and Madurai become hot, so plan sightseeing for the morning and evening. School and college exams affect when many families can travel.

With only two or three days, the nearest options in March are Mysore, Yercaud, Kabini and Bandipur. Longer trips go farther, as the table shows.

A quiet hill station within about five hours of Bengaluru and a cooler escape as the plains warm up.
