Plan a trip to Madhugiri between the months of October to March. This is the best time as the weather is pleasant and perfect for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Summers are not conducive at all as the temperatures go really high at around 38°C to 40°C. Monsoons bring with it moderate to heavy showers which can dampen your trip. Trekking is also not advisable during this time as the trails get muddy and quite slippery as well.
