Best Time to Visit
This tour runs year-round, but October to March (cool, pleasant winter weather) is the most comfortable season, with shorter queues at Banke Bihari and ISKCON. Major festivals like Janmashtami (Aug/Sep) and Holi (Mar) draw huge crowds — book your hotel and guide well in advance if travelling during these dates. Avoid May–June if possible, as midday darshan can be exhausting in the heat.
