The short answer
When to go to Rajkot
The best window is November to February, when days are warm rather than hot and nights are cool and dry, ideal for museums, walks and the Gondal day trip. March to June is very hot, with May the peak, while July and August bring most of the year's rain and humid, flooded-road conditions. October is dry again but still hot. Older travellers should plan around the sun in any month: start early, rest after lunch and keep evenings for gentle walks.
