The monsoon brings temperatures between 16°C and 25°C along with heavy rain across the forest. Pench National Park's core safari zones stay closed through this period, with only the buffer zones open on weekends, so this season suits a relaxed resort stay over an intensive safari trip.

Winter (October – February)
