February

Bhutan

We do not recommend travel to Bhutan in February.  There is often snow, except in the tropical south.  Even in the south it is chilly in the mornings and evenings.

Botswana

This is the off season - the hottest time of the year with substantial rain.  Prices are consequently lower.

  

  

  

Egypt

February is one of the best times to visit Egypt.  It should be hot and sunny throughout the country.

  

  

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: February is a good time to visit northern India, with clear skies and little rain, although you should be aware that temperatures can be cool in the early morning and late afternoon. 
Himalayas - we do not recommend visiting the hill areas in February as conditions are wintry and cold.
South: February is an excellent time to visit the south.  Hot days, little rain and good visibility. 

Iran

The winter months can be cold in Iran, with occasional rain.  We do not recommend travel to Iran in February.

Jordan

If you are looking for a time of year when the historic sites are quiet, then February is ideal.  It can be pretty cold, however, particularly in Amman and Petra (less so at the Dead Sea) and even snow is not unknown at this time of the 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 February) 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

The winter months can be cold in Syria.  There are occasionally bright and sunny days, and the visitor sites are at their quietest, but be prepared for rain from time to time.

Thailand

February is one of the best times to visit Thailand.  This is the "cool" season, although it's all relative, with temperatures reaching 25 degrees Celsius or above.

Tibet

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

Uzbekistan

The winter in Uzbekistan is severe.  We do not recommend you travel at this time.

Vietnam

There is no ideal time to visit Vietnam as there are distinct regional variations between the Northern, Central and Southern regions.  In February it can be cool in the north, rainy in and around Hue and Hoi An, and warm and dry in Saigon and the Mekong Delta.
