A comparison of 400 cities in India by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop. A comparison of 36 regions of India by VanSky score — where it's most comfortable to travel right now. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea.
The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.
The scale above shows what share of the country's cities falls into each comfort band. “Best spot” is the most comfortable region or city this week; “typical conditions” is the median score across regions.

In the Badagran area of Chhota Bhangal valley in Himachal Pradesh, India, an increasing number of travellers are using campervans as accommodation. The location attracts visitors with its quiet environment, forests, rivers and traditional villages. For overnight stays, official parking areas, homestay premises or sites permitted by local authorities are recommended; permission is required on private land. The distance from Barot to Badagran is approximately 18–22 km, taking about 1–1.5 hours. The most favourable seasons are March to June and September to November; landslides are possible during the monsoon. Mobile network coverage is limited, so offline maps should be saved in advance.
