- Where to Travel in March
March is an optimal time to visit the Middle East before the summer heat sets in. While further east, the hot and sunny weather in Vietnam makes it one of the best places to travel in March.
GALAPAGOS
See the islands at their most colourful
Wildlife is the star of the show year-round in the Galapagos, but those keen on snorkelling will enjoy pleasantly warm sea temperatures of 25°C this month, which also attract hammerhead sharks and manta rays. Alongside sightings of blue-footed boobies and sealions, it’s also a great time to see frigatebirds. March marks the beginning of mating season, so you may see the males’ inflated red throat pouches used to attract females. Enjoy these epic wildlife experiences on our Island Hopping in the Galapagos and Galapagos Encounter. View all our Galapagos trips here

VIETNAM
Dry and hot weather in Southeast Asia
Vietnam is one of the best places to travel in March with bright days expected across the entire length of the country. The weather is excellent, particularly in the south which offers hot and dry beach weather, while in the North, Halong Bay is clear and dry. Soak up the country’s cultural highlights from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City on our Vietnam Adventure, or take a similar route kayaking, cycling and trekking on our Trails of Vietnam trip. Both itineraries, allow you to experience sleeper trains from Hanoi to Hue! View all our Vietnam trips here

BHUTAN
Celebrate the Paro Festival
March in Bhutan is extraordinary. Most years, this is when the Paro Festival takes place, on the 10th day of the 2nd Lunar month in the Bhutanese calendar. Bringing ancient culture to life with rituals and dances, it’s an explosion of colour with masked performances, sacred prayer meetings and folk music and you can experience it on our Festivals of Bhutan – Paro trip. It’s also an optimal time for trekking under clear skies, just as the rhododendrons bloom on the hillsides on our Bhutan: Druk Path Trek. View all our Bhutan trips here

MOROCCO
Perfect for visiting bazaars
Springtime in Morocco is pleasant and sunny – with daily highs of 20°C. Mild temperatures and fewer crowds make it ideal for visiting the souks and bazaars in Marrakech and Fez, or for wandering around the fortified village of Ait Benhaddou and the ruins of Volubilis on our Highlights of Morocco trip. It’s also a great time to head out on our Marrakech & the Sahara adventure, as the heat is yet to reach its summer intensity, but we’d recommend bringing some warmer clothes for your overnight stay in the Bedouin camp.

EGYPT
Soak up the sun on the Nile
If you want to avoid the scorching summer heat but enjoy the country’s warm, sunny weather then March is the perfect time to go. In the Nile Valley and Cairo, you’ll experience pleasant temperatures ranging from 18°C to 24°C, which is ideal for sightseeing in the Valley of the Kings and the Luxor Temples. So why not soak up the rays on a traditional felucca sailing boat during our Nile Cruise or tuck into refreshing local delights on a food tour in the streets of Cairo on our Egypt: Alexandria to Aswan trip?
