Before you go: Maa Bamleshwari Temple Climb, Dongargarh
Best time to go
Oct–Mar
October to March suits most of the country. The southwest monsoon (June to September) floods the Western Ghats and Kerala, but it is also the main season for Ladakh and Spiti, where high passes are usually open only from June to October.
