The short answer
When to go to Sivasagar
The best window is November to February, with dry, clear and comfortable weather that suits the monuments and the winter birds. October and March are workable but warmer or showery. From April to September the district is hot, humid and very wet, and paths and roads can be slippery, so most visitors avoid it. For older travellers, plan morning sights, rest after lunch and avoid the humid shoulder months.
