When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Fyzābād is from October to March when temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F). These winter months offer comfortable weather for exploring outdoor sites and markets. November to February is particularly good for temple visits and garden exploration. Avoid the summer months (April to June) when temperatures can exceed 40°C (104°F), making outdoor activities challenging. The monsoon season (July to September) brings heavy rainfall that can disrupt travel plans and make some areas muddy.
