The short answer
When to go to Karauli
November to February is the best window: days are mild, skies are clear and the palace, temples and rough tracks to Timangarh are all comfortable. March and October are workable if you start early. April to June is very hot and tiring for older travellers, and July to September brings heavy rain that makes village roads and the fort approach unpleasant. Note that fair seasons, especially Chaitra at Kaila Devi, bring dense crowds regardless of weather.
