It is the most popular time of the year in Varanasi with many festivals like Holi, Diwali, Ganga Mahotsav, Maha Shivratri, Makar Sankranti, Annakut, and Hanuman Jayanti taking place.
Summer: (April-May). The hottest time of the year with intense heat. Temperatures range from a low of 23 °C and a high of 41 °C (73 °F – 105 °F). It is a challenging time. But it is definitely the cheapest with very thin crowds around the ghats.
Monsoon: Monsoon (June-September) rains break the heat spell, lowering the temperature. But it is still relatively hot with a low of 27°C and a high of 36 °C (80 °F- 96 °F).
