October to March is the most comfortable window for walking the ghats—cooler mornings and clearer evenings. Summers are hot; monsoons bring humidity and occasional river swell.
Festival peaks—especially Diwali and Dev Deepawali—fill the city with lamps, boats, and pilgrims. Book rooms early, expect denser crowds at Dashashwamedh, and plan flexible temple timings.
Staying a little away from the old city keeps you close enough for rituals yet removed from the noisiest lanes at night. Reserve your stay at Grand Heritage Hotel ahead of festival dates so you wake rested for each sacred morning.
