The short answer
When to go to Bhavnagar
November to February is the best window, with dry weather, warm days and cool mornings, and it is also the best season for Velavadar. March and October are workable but hot. April to June is very hot, and June to September is monsoon, with July the wettest month, so most outdoor sights become tiring or impractical. For older travellers, plan sights in the first hours after sunrise and rest through the afternoon.
