When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Sausar is from October to March. During these months, the weather is relatively cool and pleasant, with daytime temperatures ranging from 15°C to 30°C, making outdoor exploration comfortable. The monsoon season from June to September brings heavy rains, which can disrupt travel and market activities. Summers, from April to June, are hot and dry, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, so it's less favorable for sightseeing.
