The short answer
When to go to Bhangarh
November to February is the best window: dry, cool mornings suit the long, shadeless walk. October and March work if you start early. April to June is very hot and unrewarding on bare stone, and July to August brings monsoon rain and slippery ruins. Seniors should choose a winter morning and be off the site well before sunset. Climate figures are from Alwar, the nearest comparable station.
