When to Go
Best Time to Visit

The monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rains that can make travel difficult. April and May are hot and humid. Winter months offer the most comfortable conditions for exploring this rural area. There are no significant tourist seasons here, so crowds aren't an issue regardless of timing.
