The short answer
When to go to Vijayapura
The best months are November to February, when days are around 30 to 33 degrees, nights are cool and rain is rare. March to May is very hot, with highs near 39 degrees, which makes long walks and the dome climb at Gol Gumbaz tiring. September and October are the wettest months. For older travellers, any season works if sightseeing is limited to the early morning and late afternoon, with a rest indoors in between.
