The ideal period to plan your visit to Gorumara National Park is during the months of October to March. This season is characterized by a mild climate that is perfect for wildlife viewing and exploring the lush surroundings of the park. The temperatures during these months generally range from a comfortable 10°C to 21°C, making the weather conducive for safari tours and bird watching. Since the monsoon season ends in September, October sees the park rejuvenated with fresh foliage, which not only enhances the scenic beauty but also provides abundant food for herbivores, leading to increased wildlife sightings.
Visitors should note that Gorumara National Park usually remains closed during the monsoon season, between 15th June to 15th September, due to heavy rainfall that can lead to flooding and poor road conditions. Traveling during the summer months from April to mid-June might be less ideal due to the high temperatures which can soar up to 30°C or above. However, the summer is also a time when the chances of spotting animals near water bodies are higher as they venture out more frequently to quench their thirst. Therefore, choosing your visiting time can depend on your personal preferences and tolerance for various climate conditions.
