Best Time to Visit Srirangapatna
The brief
The best time to visit Srirangapatna, Karnataka is October to March. The cooler, drier months from October to March are the most comfortable for walking the fort walls and open palace gardens, with pleasant mornings and mild evenings. The monsoon swells the Cauvery and can bring humid, showery spells, while April and May are hot. Visiting temples early in the day avoids both the heat and the midday crowds.
