The short answer
When to go to Kawardha
The best window is November to February, with dry, mild weather that suits temple visits and slow drives. March is pleasant early and then warms, and the Bhoramdeo Mahotsav draws crowds. April to June is very hot, and July to September is wet, with slippery roads and limited forest access. Climate figures are from Raipur, the nearest long-term station, so the hills near Kawardha may be slightly cooler. Older travellers should keep sightseeing to mornings and rest in the afternoon.
