📅 October to March is ideal for visiting KGP when the weather is cool and pleasant, perfect for exploring temples and local markets without the oppressive summer heat. Avoid May-June when temperatures soar above 35°C, and the monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rainfall that can disrupt travel plans.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Kharagpur as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid government-issued ID like Aadhaar, PAN card, or passport for domestic travel.
