The Best Time to Visit Maharashtra
If you are planning to explore the beautiful state of Maharashtra, it’s good to take note of the best time to visit it to make the most of your trip. While weather conditions are generally favorable for most of the year, it’s best to head to Maharashtra from October to February when it’s hot and dry.
If you don’t mind the heat, however, you can visit during March to May when thunderstorms are not uncommon. July is the wettest month in Maharashtra, so it’s best to stick to the drier seasons when you visit.
