Mayapur in Summer (March - June)

As a tourist or devotee, this is one time you must avoid visiting Mayapur. Unless you wish to spend your entire vacation secluded in your hotel room, summer is certainly not a desirable season for visiting. The temperature is known to soar way past thirty degrees Celsius easily. It will be a test of endurance, both physical and mental, to carry on travelling in this weather. Hence, March to early June is best avoided going to the city of Mayapur. If you do intend to visit the Jagannath Snana Yatra that takes place in June, make sure to keep yourself hydrated and also pack light and airy clothing.
