Pick Peru 🇵🇪 if you're going in…

April, May, June, July, August, September

Reserve Inca Trail permits 4–6 months ahead — daily caps fill fast.

Pick India 🇮🇳 if you're going in…

January, February, November, December

Plan India by region, not by country — climate varies by 30°C across it on the same day.

Months where both are equally good: March, October.
