Best Time To Visit Nagarhole National Park

Monsoons hit the wildlife reservoir, right after the summers and are unpredictable. Nagarhole receives an annual rainfall of about 1,500 mm during June to September. Even though some of the areas in the sanctuary are closed due to rain, it still has a lot to offer, and you would not be disappointed. Although the seasonal rainfall drenches the region entirely, the enthralling waterfalls never fail to excite nature enthusiasts. Carrying rain gears are a must as most days are cloudy, and there is a constant possibility of downpours. However, trekking, wildlife safaris are strictly not advised during this season. The monsoon showers begin to fade away by, and the climate gets comfortable favouring tourism.

The best time to witness the wild side of this natural heritage are the summers when the waterholes are dry and the animals of the sanctuary come out of their sheds to find food and water. The maximum temperature during this period does not exceed 33 degrees Celsius.
Summers start to hit Nagarhole at the beginning of March, yet the temperature remains within a comfortable range. While the bright sunlit days warm up the town, the tranquil evenings make it up for a complete holiday experience. Visiting the wildlife reserve and undertaking jungle safaris are some of the notable outdoor activities that are popular among tourists during this season.

Clear skies dominate the region in this month, which is accompanied by hot and humid weather making the need for sun protection gears an absolute necessity. Light cotton clothing are recommended. You can explore the grass swamps, spot the freely walking animals and discover the diverse assortment of Teak and Eucalyptus trees.
