The idyllic beauty of Dhoopgarh, the highest point in Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, makes it a coveted destination for sunrise and sunset admirers. To experience Dhoopgarh at its finest, the best time to visit is from October to June. During these months, the monsoon season has subsided, unveiling clear skies and comfortable temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). This period also minimizes the chances of any disruptions due to rain, ensuring visitors can enjoy the panoramic sunset views without hindrance. Moreover, the post-monsoon period, particularly October and November, offer lush green landscapes as a result of the preceding rains, enhancing the visual spectacle of Dhoopgarh.
Summer months, from April to June, are also popular among tourists as the weather remains quite pleasant compared to the soaring temperatures in other parts of India. However, it's advisable to visit in the late afternoons for sunset owing to the daytime heat. Despite being slightly warmer, the clear summer skies provide an unfettered view of the descending sun. Keep in mind that weekends and public holidays may attract more crowds, so planning a weekday visit can ensure a more tranquil experience. Make sure to bring light woolens during early mornings and evenings, as the temperatures can dip, especially as you ascend to the higher altitudes of Dhoopgarh.
