March to May can be hot, and the heat may detract from outdoor activities. The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rains that can make travel difficult but also enhances the natural beauty of the area, with the surrounding forests and rivers in full flow.

Peak Season (December to February)
During the peak season, temperatures are pleasantly cool, ranging from 18°C to 25°C. This period is perfect for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Expect more visitors as this time coincides with the holiday season and local events.

Shoulder Season (October, November, March)
The monsoon rains have retreated by the start of October, with slight drizzles and cool weather. Outdoor activities may not be in full swing, but this is the best time for a budget trip making it an ideal time to visit with fewer tourists. In March, temperatures rise slightly to around 28°C. The weather remains pleasant, though it begins to warm up by March.

Off-season (April to September)
March to May can be hot, and the heat may detract from outdoor activities. The monsoon months of June to September bring heavy rainfall, making it difficult to explore Banavasi's outdoor attractions. The roads may become muddy, and sightseeing can be disrupted due to the wet conditions, though the region is lush and vibrant during this time.
