Best Seasons to visit Masinagudi
JUNE TO SEPTEMBER
The climate is invigorating, the forest lush, tender and green. Game spotting is at its peak. As we are located in a rain shadow area, we do not receive torrential rainfall. Our monsoon is characterized, rather, by short spurts of rain, strong wind and temperatures between 160 celcius to 280 celcius.
ATTIRE
The air is a bit nippy, and a sweater would be a good thing to have with you. We do offer the more exciting option of a bonfire on clear nights, though.
OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER
In this season, you should see plenty of wild life, as the undergrowth thickens for the winter. The temperatures range from 130 C to 210 C.The mornings are misty, with the clouds sitting on the mountain ranges. The North-East Monsoon sets in and is through by the end of November.
ATTIRE
A sweater may be required. You will definitely need an umbrella or a raincoat, and a tough pair of shoes to help you over wet ground and rocks. A couple of pairs of socks would be a good idea – and a second pair of shoes in case you decide to walk into a puddle.
DECEMBER AND JANUARY
Our winter boasts clear blue skies, cool, starry nights and sunny days. Temperatures drop significantly. Mornings are generally misty.

FEBRUARY TO APRIL
The advent of summer is characterized by dry warmth. The deciduous forest is bare. Game is usually spotted around water holes. There are often small forest fires, which burn some of the undergrowth by day, only to be extinguished by dew at night.
ATTIRE
Light clothing, sun glasses, hats and sunscreen would be appropriate. Again, don’t forget those walking shoes and trousers!
MAY
Weather is uniformly unpredictable – Pre-monsoon showers, warm days that draw in clouds, thunder bolts, short blasts of rain – and the jungle comes alive. The vegetation revives and sprouts fresh shoots. The birds sing louder. All in all the flora and fauna come alive.
ATTIRE
Light clothing (think Baywatch) with sunscreen lotion (think sunburn).
