The short answer
When to go to Jhalawar
October to March is the best window, with November to February the most comfortable for walking Gagron Fort and the temples. April to June is very hot, with May highs above 40°C, and July to August brings the heaviest rain, which can flood the fort's approach. For older travellers, plan outdoor sights early and keep the museum and palace for the afternoon.
