From July to October, the weather conditions remain set-fair with no rain. The heat isn't that high, especially in September and October, making this typically the best time for general tourism. However, humidity can be an issue, particularly for explorers and travelers. The January-February and October-November periods have less humidity with next to zero precipitation, making these the best trekking periods in the entire year.
