Where to Travel in November
Our Top Travel Destinations for November
The cultural gems of Egypt, Cambodia, and Guatemala are some of the best places to go to in November, when you’ll find weather that’s drier but still mild and comfortable. November is also just after the rainy season in Bhutan and India, making it a wonderful time to visit the colorful celebrations of the Black-Necked Crane Festival in Bhutan and the Pushkar Camel Fair in Rajasthan, India.
Egypt
From the ancient wonders of Cairo to the fertile Nile and its remote monuments including Luxor and Abu Simbel, Egypt shelters a vast array of adventure, and November is the perfect time to travel as the stifling summer heat subsides. Thanks to Egypt’s desert climate, it can be quite cool in the evening, especially when on the Nile River.
Rajasthan, India
November is a wonderful time to visit India, just after the monsoon rains have passed and when the air is cooler. We love visiting during this time because it is also during the festivities of the Pushkar Fair, Rajasthan’s vibrant camel fair, a whirlwind of color, song, and dance.
Argentina
With its wild landscapes, world-famous wine, and everchanging weather, Argentina reveals a world of adventure during spring (our autumn!). While Buenos Aires has mild weather year-round, Patagonia experiences famously changeable patterns, though November usually has warm days on the trail framed by throngs of wildflowers.
Bhutan
November is a wonderful time to visit the Kingdom of Bhutan, when the rains have died down and we enjoy hikes in the refreshing autumn air of the Thimphu and Paro valleys. We timed our adventures to witness different festivals, and November is the Black-necked Crane Festival, honoring the sacred bird of Bhutan with colorful masked dances and songs.
Cambodia
The ancient sites and welcoming culture of Cambodia make the country a must-visit destination, and November is one of the best times to visit when it is drier and cooler, and the crowds are fewer. Clear blue skies make for fantastic photography opportunities and daytime temperatures can still get hot (but manageable), with warm, pleasant evenings.
Guatemala
November in Guatemala means the towns are adorned for the holiday season, spirits are high, the weather is great, and there are few crowds. This month tends to be cooler, with clearer skies and cold nights, but always be ready for the occasional rain shower.
Falkland & South Georgia
If you enjoy photography during your travels, November in the Falklands and South Georgia Island is absolutely surreal. The soft light shimmers off the icebergs and hungry chicks loudly clamor to be fed while the males shuttle back and forth to the sea in the hunt for food.
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll find the nicest November weather in countries like Cambodia, where skies tend to be clear and days are warm (but not too hot), and Egypt, where the summer heat has given way to much more comfortable temperatures.
