Goa in October??

Hi all,

We (me and my partner) are heading off travelling this October with the aim to end up in Sydney in March. We would like to visit India (Mumbai to Kolkata), Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, The Philippines and Indonesia. Geographically, it would make more sense to fly directly to Mumbai from London and then fly from Kolkata to Bangkok. However from the guidebooks I have looked at, it seems that October isn't the best time to travel from Mumbai to Kolkata and that perhaps we would be better going in Nov and Dec. We don't really want to fly London to Bangkok and then to Mumbai and then back to Bangkok as this will be more expensive. It would be great to hear your thoughts on which way you think it best to do it, as we have a fairly tight travel budget!

October would be a bit hot and no doubt November to Feb are the best month for visiting India. But if u have finalised ur trip, go ahead as October would be warm but manageable and at least better that the May- June heat !!
