The short answer
When to go to Sasaram
November to February is the best window: days are mild and dry, which suits the tombs, the Tarachandi climb and the hill forts. March and October are workable if you start early. April to June is very hot, with highs above 38 degrees, and should be avoided for the forts. The monsoon from July to September suits the waterfalls but makes hill roads and steps slippery, so older travellers should keep to the town sights then.
