The short answer
When to go to Sirpur
The best window is November to February, when days are dry and comfortable and the open ruins are easy to walk. March is workable if you start at dawn, but April to June is very hot, with little shade at the site. July to September brings heavy rain and muddy ground, although the surroundings are green. For older travellers, plan the monuments for the first half of the day and rest after lunch. Figures are from the Raipur station, the nearest long-term record, about 78 km away.
