May

Bhutan

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

Botswana

The rainy season is over, but it is still hot.  May has become a popular time to visit Botswana and gameviewing is good.

Egypt

Egypt is at its hottest from May to August.  With the relative lack of humidity, however, and sightseeing arranged for the early morning and late afternoon, it can still be very enjoyable, especially as the sites are less crowded.  Hotel prices are lower at this time of the year.

Iceland

The winter is coming to and end, but it is still cold, and outside Reykjavík many of the hotels and guesthouses are not yet open.  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: May is one of the hottest times of the year, with temperatures regularly passing 40 degrees Celsius, so most people would prefer to travel at another time - best months are October to March.  Himalayas - a lovely time to head for the hills, with clear and warm conditions.
South: May is very hot (up to 45 degrees Celsius), so we do not recommend travel at this time of the year. 

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

Namibia

Namibia is located in the tropics and is an all-year-round destination which is mostly rain-free.  From May to October (winter) 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.  May is therefore an excellent month for a visit.

Thailand

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

Tibet

May is a good time to visit Tibet, with pleasant Spring-like temperatures and dry conditions.

Uzbekistan

May, June and September are the best months to go to Uzbekistan.  Days should be sunny, dry and warm.

Vietnam

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