When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Koiridih is from October to March when temperatures are mild and pleasant, ranging from 15°C to 25°C. These months avoid the intense summer heat of April-June when temperatures can exceed 40°C, and the monsoon season of July-September which brings heavy rainfall. Winter months offer comfortable weather for temple visits and market exploration. Festival seasons like Diwali (October-November) add cultural vibrancy but may mean more crowds. The post-monsoon period in October brings lush greenery but can still have occasional showers.
