The short answer
When to go to Tezpur
The best months are November to February, when mornings are cool, skies are clear and rain is minimal, which suits temples, ruins, parks and Nameri. March and October are also workable. From April humidity and rain build, and May to September brings very heavy monsoon rainfall, so avoid it if you can. For older travellers, plan walks and climbs in the early morning, keep a rest after lunch and avoid the stairs at Bhairabi and Mahabhairab in wet weather.
