The best time to visit Hampi is during the winter season from October to February, when the weather is pleasant, with cooler temperatures ranging between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F), making it ideal for sightseeing and exploring the historic ruins. It is best to avoid visiting Hampi during the summer months from March to June, when temperatures can soar above 40°C (104°F), and the monsoon season from July to September, which brings heavy rainfall, making outdoor exploration uncomfortable and some areas inaccessible.
