Best Time to Visit Nanded

October to February is the best time to visit Nanded as the weather is relatively nice, with a relatively dry climate, so that you can enjoy sightseeing and visit the various temples, gurdwaras and historic sites of the city. Winter is a great time to explore the city and surrounding areas.
Springtime (March to May) is hot, particularly in the afternoon, but in the early morning or evenings it is good for sightseeing. The monsoon season from June to September brings green and rain to the region. Nanded is open to visitors all year round, with pilgrims visiting en route to Hazur Sahib. The winter season, however, tends to be more enjoyable for visiting religious sites, as well as touring the city and its surrounding attractions.
