Where to travel in March on an Indian passport

For ordinary Indian passports, tourism travel only.

March is a shoulder month, and shoulder months are where the value is. Peak-season pricing has usually eased, the crowds have thinned, and in a good year the weather has not yet turned — you are buying most of the trip for less than the trip cost in January.

The trade is that the margin is narrower. A shoulder month sits next to a bad one by definition, so the ratings below are worth reading alongside the month either side rather than on their own. The previous and next month are linked at the foot of this page for exactly that reason.

If you have flexibility on dates, March is the month it pays for itself. Fix the destination, then let the fare choose the week.

Of the 25 countries we have verified so far, 18 rate March good or excellent. More are being added as each one is checked against its government’s own sources — this is not yet every country in the world, and a destination missing from this page has usually not been researched yet rather than been ruled out.

Best in March

Peak season in March: Bahrain, Maldives, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, UAE and Vietnam. Expect higher prices and more people, and book earlier than you otherwise would — this is about crowds and cost, not weather.

Verified, but March is not their season

These are countries we have checked and published, whose measured weather does not support a March trip. They are here because a destination missing from a page tells you nothing about why — each card carries its own rating for March, and each country page shows the months that do work.

Daily budgets are our own mid-range estimates for one traveller, reviewed between 15 August 2026 and 18 August 2026. They are a guide, not a price anyone charges.

How these are ranked

A month is rated from published temperature and rainfall measurements for real weather stations, not from a general impression of the country.

Ranking is weather only. It says nothing about how easy a country is to enter or what it costs — both are on every card, and the visa rule on each one was read from that government’s own source, with the date shown on the country page.
