Best Time for Chikmagalur Weekend Trip
October to February is the best period with pleasant weather (15-25°C) perfect for trekking and sightseeing. Post-monsoon (September-October) offers lush greenery and full-flowing waterfalls. March-May is summer but still cooler than plains. Monsoon (June-August) brings heavy rainfall making treks slippery, though the landscape is stunning. Avoid peak season weekends (November-January) if you prefer fewer crowds.
