Best Time to Do This Trip
April to June (Summer): Peak season — weather is cool and pleasant compared to the plains. Expect more tourists and slightly higher prices. Book early.
October to November (Post-monsoon): The best time for this itinerary. Waterfalls like Gundar are full, the greenery around Mannavanur is lush, and the skies are clearer.
December to January: Misty, cold, and atmospheric. The Mannavanur lake area is especially beautiful in winter fog. Christmas and New Year weeks get crowded.
February to March: The quietest and most budget-friendly season, with comfortable weather and easy road access.
