Best Time to Visit Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India

The city of Bhubaneswar in Odisha, India, is known for its rich historical heritage and plethora of temples that date back to ancient times. The best time to visit Bhubaneswar is during the winter months, from October to February. During this period, the weather is pleasantly cool with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 15°C to 28°C. The cool climate is ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities such as visiting the famous Lingaraj Temple, Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves, and the Odisha State Museum. The winter season also coincides with several cultural festivals like the Adivasi Mela and the Mukteswar Dance Festival, offering tourists a chance to experience the state's rich cultural heritage.

From March onwards, the temperature begins to rise, with the pre-monsoon summer, known as 'Grishma', bringing hot and humid conditions making outdoor excursions less comfortable. The months of April and May are particularly hot, with temperatures soaring as high as 40°C at times. However, the onset of the monsoon brings relief with showers usually starting in late June and lasting until September. Monsoon season can be a good time to visit for those who enjoy lush greenery and do not mind the intermittent rains. Nevertheless, for the optimal travel experience with the ease of exploring the city’s numerous attractions, winter stands out as the best time to visit Bhubaneswar.
