Best Time to Visit Patan
The brief
The best time to visit Patan, Gujarat is October to February. October to February is the pleasant season for Patan, with mild days for the stepwell and the Patola weavers' workshops. The descent into Rani ki Vav is cooler than the surface, but the town itself is hot from March to June, often above 40°C, so summer visits are best kept to the early morning with an air-conditioned fleet. The monsoon (July to September) greens the region but can bring rain. Patan pairs easily with Modhera in a single cool-season day from Ahmedabad or Mehsana.
