The short answer

When to go to Chincholi

October to February is the best window: skies are clear, the forest is at its greenest after the rains and temperatures are bearable for walking. March to May is very hot, with April and May best avoided, and the monsoon months make tracks slippery though the hills are green. For older travellers, plan short outings at dawn or late afternoon.
