The short answer
When to go to Burhanpur
The best window is November to February, when daytime highs of around 30 degrees Celsius make Asirgarh, the Shahi Qila and the town monuments manageable. October and March are workable if you stay to mornings. April to June is very hot, with highs above 40 degrees Celsius, and July to September is rainy, which affects Ahukhana, the Chhatri and any riverside walking. For older travellers, winter mornings are ideal for the fort, with the afternoon kept for rest.
