The short answer
When to go to Sangli
November to February is the best window, with dry weather, cool mornings and comfortable days for temples, Miraj's lanes and the wildlife outings. March to May is hot and dusty, and June to October is the monsoon, when the Krishna can flood. Sagareshwar's peak season runs from August, but older travellers should prefer the dry winter months and keep to morning outings.
