The short answer
When to go to Murud Janjira
The best window is November to February, when days are warm but dry and the fort boats run reliably. March to May is hot and humid, so fort visits should start early, and the monsoon from June to August brings very heavy rain and usually suspends the crossing to Janjira. September and October are greener and less crowded, but check that boats are running and expect rougher water. For older travellers, winter mornings are the gentlest time for the boarding and the uneven stone inside the fort.
