💡 Travel Tips

📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Fatehpur Sikri, when the weather is cool and pleasant, making it comfortable for exploring the expansive archaeological site. Avoid April to September due to extreme heat and monsoon rains that can make walking difficult and reduce visibility of architectural details.
