The short answer
When to go to Pratapgarh
The best window is November to February, with dry, clear days and cool evenings that suit forest walks and temple visits. February and March are the usual months for spotting flying squirrels at Sita Mata, but March afternoons are already hot. April to June is very hot, and July to September is wet, which greens the hills but slows rural roads. Older travellers should plan outings for mornings and dusk and keep the afternoon for rest.
