The short answer
When to go to Shahapur
The best window is November to February, when mornings are cool, skies are clear and the Mahuli climb is manageable. March to May is hot and tiring, and the monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain and slippery rock, although the hills turn intensely green. Older travellers should choose a winter morning and keep the sights to road drives and temple stops.
