Timing changes everything in Bhimashankar. February sits in the prime sightseeing month of the West India calendar, the kind of month that defines what you get from the trip more than any other variable, including the stay choice. We've architected Bhimashankar missions in every month; here is exactly what February delivers and how we work it.
The post-monsoon and winter months bring clear, cool weather ideal for both darshan and forest walks. The monsoon is dramatically green and full of waterfalls but the roads are winding and the trails slippery. Early starts are worthwhile, both to avoid weekend crowds at the temple and to catch wildlife, including the giant squirrel, when the forest is most active.
