The short answer
When to go to Jamnagar
November to February is the best window: days are warm and dry, nights are cool, and migratory birds are at Khijadiya, Gaga and the Gulf of Kutch coast. March and October are workable but hot by afternoon. April to June is hot, and July to August brings heavy monsoon rain, so skip the wildlife trips then. For older travellers, December and January are the most comfortable for walking by the lake.
