Best Season:The best time to visit is from November to February when the weather is dry and pleasant, ideal for the outdoor setting. This is also the peak tourist season, so the atmosphere is at its most energetic. Weekdays are generally less crowded than the packed weekends. A visit during the monsoon (June to September) is not recommended as the outdoor experience is significantly compromised.
