When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Nūzvīd is from November to February when temperatures are milder (20-30°C/68-86°F). This period avoids the intense heat of summer (March-June) when temperatures can exceed 40°C/104°F. The monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rainfall that can disrupt travel plans. If you specifically want to experience the mango harvest, visit between April and June, but be prepared for very hot conditions. Winter months offer the most comfortable weather for temple visits and exploration.
