The best time to visit the Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajasthan is during monsoons or winters between the months of July to February. The climate is cooler, although during winters it gets pretty cold during nights, but enjoyable. Although Kumbhalgarh is in Rajasthan but is around hills. Because of that weather of Kumbhalgarh is relatively better place weather-wise in Rajasthan state of India.
As per the plan for my future trip to Kumbhalgarh Fort, I also plan to walk on this wall along with exploring 300+ temples of Kumbhalgarh fort. Let's see how it goes.
