The short answer
When to go to Nameri
The best window is November to February: dry, clear and cool, with good light for birds and the river at its calmest. March is still good and wildlife is described as best in February and March. April brings humidity and rain, and May to September is very wet, with high water and leeches; avoid it. Older travellers will find cool mornings the most comfortable time for walks, and rafting after lunch is warmer. Climate figures are from Tezpur, about 35 to 45 km away on the plains; the foothills at the park are likely wetter.
