The brief
The best time to visit Lothal, Gujarat is November to February. The open, shadeless site is best explored in the cool winter months when midday heat is bearable. March through June can be very hot on the plains, and the monsoon may leave the low-lying ground damp. Morning visits are ideal, pairing the ruins with the indoor museum before the sun climbs high.
