December to February
These are the coolest and driest months, and the best time for sightseeing and long drives to Neermahal, Udaipur and Unakoti. Mornings can be misty, and nights feel cool, so pack a light sweater. Rudrasagar Lake also sees migratory birds in winter.
March
The weather warms up, but it is usually still pleasant, and the crowds are smaller than in winter.
April and May
These are the hottest months, and they are also very humid. Sudden afternoon thunderstorms are common. Plan sightseeing for the early morning and late afternoon. Garia Puja is celebrated in April.
June to September
The monsoon brings heavy rain, high humidity and the occasional flooded road. The landscape is at its greenest, but long drives and the steps at Unakoti become harder. Kharchi Puja is held in July. Check weather updates before travelling.
