October – June
- Peak season: October to March
- Weather: Pleasant and dry (ideal for safaris).
- Wildlife sightings: Tigers are easier to spot as water sources shrink, and animals gather around lakes and ponds.
- Flora: Forests are lush after monsoon (October–November) and gradually dry out by March.
- April to June
- Weather: Hot (35–45°C), but the concentration of wildlife near remaining waterholes increases tiger sighting chances.
- Safari experience: Early morning safaris are recommended to avoid heat.
