Best Time to Visit Kolhapur, Maharashtra

The ideal time to visit Kolhapur in Maharashtra is during the winter months, from November to February. The weather during this period is pleasantly cool and perfect for sightseeing and exploring the historical as well as cultural attractions of the city. Daytime temperatures typically range between 14°C to 30°C, making it comfortable for tourists to indulge in outdoor activities. The cool breeze and the relatively dry weather provide visitors with the perfect conditions to enjoy Kolhapur’s famous landmarks such as the Mahalakshmi Temple, New Palace Museum, and Ranka Jung Palace without any discomfort caused by the heat.

Conversely, the summer months, from March to May, can be extremely hot with temperatures soaring up to 38°C which might not be conducive for those who aren’t used to the heat. The monsoon season from June to October sees heavy rainfall which can disrupt travel plans and outdoor activities. However, the city has a unique charm during the monsoons as the surroundings become lush green providing a scenic view especially at places like Panhala Fort and Jyotiba Temple. But, for the best experience, winter remains the most recommended time with clear skies and an ambience that’s vibrant with cultural festivities and events.
