When should you travel to Asia? The ideal time for a rail journey through Asia varies by region. In Japan, spring (March to May) showcases cherry blossoms while autumn (September to November) is another scenic time. Vietnam and Cambodia are best from November to February, with pleasant temperatures and lower humidity. For India, November to March is ideal for visiting landmarks like the Taj Mahal, thanks to cooler weather and clearer skies.
