The short answer
When to go to Banswara
The most comfortable window is November to February, when days are mild and dry and temple and ruin visits are easy. October and March are still workable if you start early. July to September is the monsoon, when the district is green and the dam and waterfalls are at their best but rain is heavy and travel is slower. Avoid April to June if you are travelling with older family members, as daytime highs reach about 40 degrees and stone sites offer little shade.
