When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Tindwāra is from October to March when temperatures are milder and more comfortable for exploration. Winter months (December-February) offer pleasant daytime temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F) with cooler evenings. Summer (April-June) can be extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), making outdoor activities challenging. Monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rainfall that can disrupt travel plans and make some areas inaccessible. Festival seasons like Diwali (October-November) offer cultural experiences but may mean more crowded accommodations.
