Summer (Apr - Jun)

In summer, visiting Varanasi can be challenging due to the oppressive heat, which makes outdoor exploration and sightseeing uncomfortable. Strolling along the ghats or experiencing boat rides can be difficult under the scorching sun. Many attractions are less enjoyable, and spending time indoors might become necessary. While there might be fewer crowds, the severe conditions can impact the overall experience

⚠️ Avoid if possible
