The short answer
When to go to Bundi
November to February is the best window, with cool mornings and comfortable daytime temperatures for exploring the fort and the old city's narrow lanes. April to June brings intense heat that makes climbing Taragarh Fort exhausting, and July to August delivers the heaviest monsoon rain with some flooding risk in low areas. Older travellers should tackle the fort early in the day, use a car for the steepest approaches, and treat the midday rest as essential rather than optional.
