The short answer
When to go to Dakor
November to February is the best window, with dry weather and daytime highs around 30 to 34 degrees Celsius at the nearby Vadodara station. March is hot and April to June is very hot, which is hard on long queues. July to September are wet and humid. Purnima days, Sharad Purnima in October and the day after Diwali are crowded in any month, so older travellers should choose a winter weekday.
