DEEP OFF-SEASON IN MARCH

March’s deep off-season is marked by intense cold in the far north or extreme pre-monsoon heat in specific tropical regions, making travel uncomfortable. These periods offer the lowest prices and minimal crowds, appealing to those with niche interests.

Main Regions for Deep Off-Season:

Northern Hemisphere (Lingering Winter Cold / Extreme Heat):

• • Arctic Regions (e.g., Greenland, Svalbard, Northern Canada/Alaska): Still very cold with snow/ice; too early for summer tourism, challenging conditions persist.

• • Indian Subcontinent & Southeast Asia (Extreme Pre-Monsoon Heat): 
    
    • India (Northern Plains, Central India, Rajasthan), Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka (southwest coast), Philippines, Thailand (Andaman Coast), Southern Vietnam: Rapidly increasing temperatures and humidity make sightseeing uncomfortable for many, marking a deep off-season for comfort-focused travelers.

Americas (Hot & Humid):

• • Central America and parts of the Caribbean (e.g., Honduras, Nicaragua, eastern Yucatan Peninsula): While relatively dry, rising temperatures and humidity make these less desirable for heat-sensitive travelers.

Southern Hemisphere (Intense Rain/Humidity):

• • Amazon Rainforest (Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia): Still in heavy rainy season; high water levels, humidity, mosquitoes. Less ideal for hiking and wildlife spotting than drier periods, though boat travel is possible.

• • Antarctica: Expedition cruise season winds down by late March as ice thickens, limiting access.
