Best Time To Visit Odisha

April to June

Summer arrives with scorching heat, which makes it difficult for sightseeing during the day. However, you can visit the “Kashmir of Odisha” Daringbadi, a hill station in the Kandhmal district, or Chandragiri to escape the hot weather.

July to September

The monsoon season in Odisha comes with heavy rainfall, amplifying the lush greenery after the shower. The areas located around the coast experience tornadoes and cyclones. Odisha has few visitors during this season.

October to March

It is the best time to visit Odisha in scorch-less weather. The temperature drops during the winters, and a cool breeze follows, making this season ideal for sightseeing. If you are traveling in December, witness the famous Konark Dance Festival held at Konark Temple in Puri.
