The short answer
When to go to Shergarh
October to February is the best window, with cool mornings that suit the fort, forest tracks and temple stops. March is possible if you start early, while April to June brings severe heat that makes exposed ruins unsafe for older travellers. July to September is heavy monsoon, when rural roads and forest tracks turn difficult and the sanctuary may be hard to reach. Always keep to daylight hours.
