The short answer
When to go to Deogarh
November to February is the best window, with dry, clear weather and cool mornings that suit the fort climb and the ghats. March and October are workable. April to June is very hot on exposed stone, and July to September brings heavy rain and a high Betwa, making the ghat steps dangerous. Older travellers should plan for early mornings and a rest at midday.
