The short answer
When to go to Chittorgarh
Visit between November and February, when cooler temperatures make the long walk around Chittor Fort's 700 acres bearable. April to June is dangerously hot for a site with almost no shade, and July to August brings the heaviest monsoon rain. This is a demanding fort for anyone with mobility or heat concerns—seniors are often better off basing in nearby Udaipur, hiring a car to break the walk into sections, and starting before 7am to beat both heat and crowds.
