April

Bhutan

Spring begins by the end of February and lasts till the end of May. April is therefore an excellent time of the year to visit Bhutan.

Botswana

The hot rainy season is coming to an end, and this is a polular time to visit Botswana.

Egypt

April is one of the best times to visit Egypt, before the really hot weather begins. It should be hot and sunny throughout the country. Early in the month there is a risk of sandstorms (the 'Khamsin') which generally occur in March and April.

Iceland

Winter in Iceland is very cold, with heavy snowfalls and limited daylight.  Outside Reykjavík most of the hotels and guesthouses are closed.  In the capital itself, however, there are less crowds, prices are lower and the local excursions to places like Gullfoss, Geysir and the Blue Lagoon operate on a daily basis.

India

North: As summer approaches the temperatures are getting higher (up to 40 degrees Celsius), but there is little humidity and skies are clear.
Himalayas - still cool with occasional snow on the higher ground, but many people find this a lovely time to head for the hills.
South: April is a good time to visit the south, although some people find the temperatures difficult (up to 40 degrees Celsius and quite humid).

Iran

Spring is the ideal time to visit Iran. The winter is over and the really hot days of summer have not yet begun. Days should be warm, sunny and dry.

Jordan

April is an excellent time of the year to visit Jordan. Days should be warm, sunny and dry (although it can be cool during the night at higher altitudes (Amman, Petra).  For marathon enthusiasts the challenging 50km Dead Sea Ultra Marathon takes place on the second Friday in April each year.

Namibia

Namibia is located in the tropics and is an all-year-round destination which is mostly rain-free. The little rain that does fall comes in the summer (which includes April) but is insignificant. It is generally hot during the day, but noticeably cooler at night.

Nepal

February to May are excellent months to visit Nepal. This is the end of the dry season and days should be sunny, dry and warm with good visibility.

  

  

Syria

Spring and autumn in Syria offer warm, bright and sunny days and minimal rain. April is therefore an excellent month for a visit.

  

  

  

Thailand

April is the middle of the hot season, with temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius and humidity fairly high. Rain is always a possibility.

Tibet

We do not recommend travelling to Tibet at this time of the year. Best months are May to September.

Uzbekistan

Although the extremely low temperatures of the winter are past, it can still be cold in April. Best months to travel are May, June and September.

Vietnam

There is no ideal time to visit Vietnam as there are distinct regional variations between the Northern, Central and Southern regions. April is one of the best times to go as it is one of the warmest and driest times of the year, although there can be occasional rain showers around Hue and Hoi An.
