When to go to Bithoor
The best window for Bithoor is November to February, with cool, dry days that suit ghat steps and open-air sites. March and October are workable if you start early. April to June is very hot with little shade, and July to September brings heavy monsoon rain, a high Ganga and slippery steps. Kartik Purnima in November or December adds a festival atmosphere but also dense crowds, which older travellers may prefer to avoid.
