The ideal time to visit Chandragiri Fort is during the winter months, which span from November to February. During this period, the weather in Bekal, Kerala is pleasantly cool and comfortable for sightseeing. The temperature ranges from a minimum of 17°C to a maximum of 30°C, and this cooler climate is perfect for exploring the historic beauty and grandeur of the fort without the discomfort of excessive heat and humidity that is common during other times of the year. The clear skies and gentle breeze enhance the experience as one takes in the panoramic view of the Arabian Sea and the adjacent backwaters from the fort’s vantage points.
Tourists should avoid the monsoon season, from June to September, as heavy rainfall can impede outdoor activities and make the area around the fort slippery and difficult to navigate. However, if someone enjoys the lush green surroundings and doesn't mind the rain, monsoon brings out a different level of beauty in Chandragiri Fort, with the surrounding vegetation in full bloom. Post-monsoon, in October, the area begins to dry up, and the landscape remains vibrant and green, making this month a pleasant off-season month for those looking to avoid crowd. Nonetheless, the winter period remains the most favorable time for a comfortable and enjoyable visit.
