The short answer
When to go to Kollur
November to February is the best window: dry, warm and clear for Kodachadri and the village. October is good once the rains ease. June to September brings extremely heavy rain, slippery trails and leeches, though the falls are at their fullest; April and May are hot and humid. The figures here come from Udupi on the coast; the hills around Kollur are usually wetter and cooler. Older travellers should pick winter weekdays for the temple.
