🗓️ Katihar Through the Year
Katihar experiences hot, humid summers and cool, dry winters. The monsoon season brings significant rainfall, transforming the landscape. The best time to visit is during the winter months when the weather is pleasant and ideal for exploring.
Festivals and events worth timing your visit
Chhath Puja in November is a major festival celebrated with fervor along the riverbanks. Durga Puja in October is another significant event with elaborate pandals and cultural performances throughout the city.
What to pack
If visiting in winter, pack warm clothing including sweaters and shawls. For the monsoon, carry rain gear like umbrellas and waterproof jackets. Comfortable walking shoes are a must regardless of the season.
Saving money
The off-season, particularly during the peak of summer (May-June) or during the monsoon (July-August), often sees lower hotel rates, potentially 15-20% cheaper. Look for smaller guesthouses outside the main bazaar area for more affordable accommodation.
