All Months
October through March offers perfect weather – clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and minimal rain. December and January nights can get surprisingly cool (down to 5°C), so pack layers. This is peak tourist season, meaning higher prices and crowded attractions. Book accommodations early. April and May turn brutally hot with temperatures hitting 45°C. Avoid these months unless you enjoy feeling like you're inside an oven. June through September brings monsoon rains that fill the lakes beautifully but can disrupt travel plans. Roads flood, some restaurants close, and outdoor activities become impossible. However, hotel rates drop by 50% and you'll have popular spots mostly to yourself. The post-monsoon period in late September can be magical – everything looks green and fresh, but crowds haven't returned yet.
