The short answer
When to go to Vaishali
The best months are November to February, when days are dry and mild and the open sites are comfortable to walk. March and October are workable if you go early. From April, heat builds, and from June to September heavy monsoon rain turns the fields and roads wet and humid. For older travellers, Vaishali is easy on the legs but exposed to the sun, so go in winter, start early and keep afternoons for rest. Early mornings in December and January can be foggy and cool, so carry a light layer.
