The short answer
When to go to Dholpur
The best window is November to February, when days are mild and dry and birdlife on the Chambal and lakes is at its best. March and October are workable with early starts. April to June is very hot, with mean daily maxima above 40 C, and July to September is humid and wet, though the Damoh waterfall flows then. Older travellers should avoid midday outings in every season and favour mornings.
