The short answer
When to go to Raichur
November to February is the best window: dry days, mild afternoons and cool mornings that suit fort walking. March to May is very hot, with May the peak, so avoid it with elderly travellers. June to October is the rainy season, wettest around September, which makes steps and village roads slippery. In any season, plan monument visits for early morning.
