The short answer
When to go to Mandalgarh
November to February is the best window, with mild days and clear skies that suit the exposed fort and the stone temples at Bijolia. October and March also work if you start early. April to June is very hot, and July to September brings heavy rain that makes paths and village roads difficult. Older travellers should choose a winter morning and keep the afternoon for rest in a base town.
