🌟 Best Season (Peak)
Cool, dry weather (20–30°C). Best beach weather, comfortable for sightseeing. Peak tourist season.
👍 Good Time (Shoulder Season)
Getting hot (30–38°C) but still dry. Fewer crowds and better hotel deals.
⚠️ Avoid If Possible
Monsoon season — heavy rains, rough seas, some beach activities shut down. But lush green landscapes and Ayurveda season in Kerala.
🗓️ Bankura Through the Year
Bankura experiences hot, humid summers and pleasant winters. The monsoon season brings heavy rainfall, transforming the landscape. October to March offers the most comfortable weather for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Festivals and events worth timing your visit
The Poush Mela in January showcases local handicrafts and Bengali folk culture. Durga Puja in October is celebrated with elaborate pandals and cultural performances throughout the city. Expect large crowds during these times.
What to pack
Pack light cotton clothing for the hot season and light woollens for winter. An umbrella or raincoat is essential during the monsoon. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for exploring the temples and surrounding areas.
Saving money
Hotel prices are generally lower during the monsoon season (July to September). Look for discounts on accommodations during the off-season. Eating at local restaurants can significantly reduce your food expenses.
