The short answer
When to go to Nuapada
The best window is November to February, when days are dry and comfortable and the plateau roads are at their easiest. March is workable, but April to June is very hot, and July to September brings heavy monsoon rain that makes forest tracks difficult, though the waterfalls are at their best. The figures here are for Raipur on the Chhattisgarh plains, so the Sunabeda plateau will be somewhat cooler. Older travellers should visit in winter and keep to Patora.
