The short answer
When to go to Bagh
November to February is the best window: days are dry and mild, and the cave hill and open fossil ground are comfortable. October and March are workable but warmer. Avoid April to June for heat on the exposed rock, and July to September for monsoon rain. Climate figures are from Indore, on the plateau, so Bagh in the lower Narmada valley is likely to run warmer; older travellers should keep to mornings.
