Visiting the Varendra Research Museum, the oldest museum in Bangladesh, located in Rajshahi, is a journey through history and culture. The ideal time to plan your trip to this repository of the past is during the cooler months of the year, from November to February. During this period, Rajshahi's climate is most pleasant, with moderate temperatures that typically range from 12°C to 25°C (54°F to 77°F). Tourists can enjoy exploring the museum's extensive collection without the discomfort of the sweltering heat that characterizes the region throughout the summer. Additionally, the reduced humidity not only makes for a more comfortable visit but also ensures clearer skies and better light for examining the artifacts.
Although Rajshahi experiences a subtropical climate with a marked monsoon season, planning your visit outside of the monsoon months (June to October) ensures that your travel plans are less likely to be disrupted by heavy rains or other weather-related complications. During the peak visiting season, the museum offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of travel with its calm and scholarly atmosphere. It's also easier to take part in local festivals and cultural events that often take place in the region during the winter months, which can enrich your experience of the local heritage and add another layer of understanding to the historical context of the exhibits you will encounter in the Varendra Research Museum.
