Getting there
How to Reach Pitalkhora Caves
Pitalkhora is near Kannad, in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district. A cab is the easiest way to reach it, because public transport options are limited. Ask us for a quotation with the route and travel time for your pickup point.
When to go
Best Time to Visit Pitalkhora Caves
Listings suggest October to March for pleasant weather, and the monsoon months (June to September) if you want to see the waterfall next to the caves. The cooler months from October to February are the most comfortable for most outdoor places in this region. Summer afternoons are hot, and the monsoon makes paths slippery but turns the hills green.
- October to February: pleasant and the busiest time.
- March to June: hot; go early morning.
- July to September: green and wet; carry rain gear and watch your step.
