Timing changes everything in Bidar. May sits in the hot, only with strict protocols of the South 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 Bidar missions in every month; here is exactly what May delivers and how we work it.
October to February offers the cool, dry plateau weather ideal for walking the fort and the scattered tombs. Bidar sits at a modest elevation, so its winters are pleasantly crisp. March to May brings hot, dry Deccan summers when open-air touring is best kept to the mornings and evenings. The monsoon (June to September) greens the laterite plateau and is usually manageable, with occasional heavy showers that call for flexible timing on the outdoor sites.
For May specifically: Strictly dawn-only sightseeing; midday rest in cooled stays. The standard Bidar architecture (fort city of the bahmani deccan) is preserved; the day-pacing is rebuilt around this month's conditions.
