The short answer
When to go to Shivpuri
November to February is the best window, with dry, clear days and cool mornings that suit park drives and monument visits. October and March are workable with early starts. April to June is very hot, with May highs above 40°C, and the monsoon from July to September brings heavy rain, though the landscape is green and the waterfalls run. Older travellers should avoid the hot season and plan rest in the afternoon.
