Best Fair Avoid

Best time: Oct–Mar. Also good: Apr, Sep.

October to March is the comfortable season, with warm days and cool mornings. December and January can bring fog and cold at sunrise. April to June is very hot, so we start early and rest at midday. July to September is humid monsoon with fewer visitors.
