Best Time to Visit Vrindavan
The best time to visit Vrindavan is between October and March when the weather is cool and pleasant, making it ideal for sightseeing and temple visits. The temperature at this time is pleasant enough to enjoy the spiritual town. Summer months, starting from April to June, become hot, with temperatures even touching 40°C, thereby not being able to explore this town during the day time. The monsoon seasons of July to September, though are not the best, because heavy rainfall can once again play havoc with travel. Further, visit Vrindavan in festivals like Holi and Janmashtami when the city breathes a lively air of religious activities, devotional song and music, but if the person wishes for quieter and peaceful scenes then it's the best visiting time when the climate was cooler.
