📅 November to February offers the most comfortable weather with cooler temperatures (20-28°C) and minimal rainfall, ideal for exploring markets and outdoor activities. Avoid May to October when intense heat and monsoon rains make travel challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders require a Schengen visa or Mali visa obtained from the Mali Embassy in New Delhi. Plan visa applications 4-6 weeks in advance as processing times can be lengthy.
