The short answer
When to go to Pinjore
The comfortable window is October to March, with February, March, October and November the pick: dry, clear and mild enough to walk the garden terraces for a couple of hours. May and June are hot, July to September are wet and humid, and paths get slippery. Figures here are from the Chandigarh station about 20 km away; Pinjore sits a little higher, so expect it to feel marginally cooler. Older travellers should go early in the day year-round and avoid the midday heat.
