The short answer
When to go to Satkosia
The most comfortable window is November to February, when days are mild and dry, skies are clear and the Mahanadi is calm enough for boat trips. March to May is hot, with highs near 40 degrees at nearby Angul, though animals gather by the water. July to September brings heavy rain and flood risk, so plan carefully if you travel then. Older travellers should choose December or January, avoid the long afternoon drive and carry a warm layer for early boat rides.
