When to go
Season and Timing Notes for Soneri Mahal Photos
Maharashtra’s weather changes the experience. Winter, roughly October to February, is the most comfortable season for most outings. The monsoon turns hills and forts green but can make roads and steps slippery, and some viewpoints close in heavy rain. Summer is hot, so plan outdoor visits for early morning.
