The short answer
When to go to Gandhi Sagar
The best window is November to February, with cool mornings, dry skies and the largest gatherings of waterbirds on the reservoir. March and October are workable, but April to June is very hot and exposed, and July to September brings heavy rain and difficult tracks. For older travellers, winter is the only comfortable season; plan sanctuary drives for early morning and rest at midday.
