The short answer
When to go to Sringeri
November to February is the best window: rain has gone, the air is cool and the forest is still green, which also suits Kigga and Sirimane Falls. October and March are workable. June to September brings very heavy rain, slippery steps and difficult ghat roads, and Navaratri in autumn is crowded. Older travellers should plan weekday visits and avoid festival weeks.
