New Delhi, India to Hulhumale is an approximately 9-hour combination of flight and bus. The time zone difference moving from India Standard Time to Maldives Time is minus 0.5 hours. When traveling from New Delhi in December, plan for a bit warmer days and warmer nights in Hulhumale: temperatures range from 36°C by day to 30°C at night. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 25th (Fri) so you can go by car to Male.

The tiny but densely populated city of Male represents a contrast to the laid-back beach resorts found in much of the rest of the Maldives.

Male is known for shopping, wildlife, and historic sites. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: see some colorful creatures with a scuba or snorkeling tour, admire the landmark architecture of Hukuru Miskiiy (Old Friday Mosque), walk around Sultan Park, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Grand Friday Mosque.
