Visit from July to February for the best experience. During monsoon (July to September), the forest transforms into a lush green paradise with the Harnav River flowing at full capacity and small waterfalls appearing throughout. Winter months (October to February) offer pleasant temperatures between 12°C and 28°C, perfect for trekking, camping, and exploring temple ruins. Summer months (March to June) see temperatures climbing above 40°C, making outdoor activities challenging, though early morning visits remain enjoyable.
