    Best Season:The ideal time to visit is from September to May. During these months, the weather is cool and pleasant, making outdoor activities like boating enjoyable. The post-monsoon period (September-November) offers the greenest landscapes. Avoid the peak monsoon season from June to August, as heavy rains can disrupt boating activities and make the area slippery and inaccessible.
