The short answer
When to go to Sakleshpur
The best window is December to February, when it is dry, mornings are cool and the ridges are clear for Bisle, Jenukal Gudda and Manjarabad Fort; November and March are good shoulder months. April and May turn warmer with the first showers, while June to August brings very heavy rain, with about 835 mm in July alone. For older travellers, the dry months make estate walks and road trips far easier, as slippery paths and landslide-prone ghat roads are the main risks in the monsoon.
