The short answer
When to go to Belagavi
The best months are November to February, when days are warm but comfortable and rain is minimal. March to May is hot for a plateau city, with highs in the mid-30s Celsius. June to September brings heavy monsoon rain, peaking in July, which fills Gokak Falls and the forests but slows road travel. Older travellers will find the winter mornings easiest for the fort and Kittur, with a rest after lunch.
