Good to Know

  • December through February represents peak dry season with the most reliable weather for outdoor exploration and comfort.
  • April and May see extreme heat (35°C (95°F) daytime highs), making physical activity challenging despite lower tourist crowds and discounted accommodation.
  • The monsoon (June–September) brings daily afternoon storms, muddy trails, and occasional flooding; however, landscapes are lush and wet-season rates are significantly cheaper.
  • Humidity remains above 74% year-round, with August–September reaching 88–89%, making early morning or late afternoon activities more comfortable.
  • Air quality can be affected by regional agricultural burning in March–April before the rains arrive.
