The short answer
When to go to Gooty
The best window is November to February, with warm days, cool nights and little rain, which suits the fort climb and the Tadipatri temples. March to June is very hot on the open plateau, and August to October is the wettest period, when rock paths can be slippery. Older travellers should plan sights for early morning and rest in the afternoon whatever the season.
