The brief

October to February offers the coolest conditions above ground for reaching this arid part of Andhra Pradesh, though the caves themselves stay warm and can feel humid and stuffy in the lower passages year-round. Summer from March to June is very hot on the surface. The cool season is best for combining the caves comfortably with Gandikota and the surrounding countryside.
