Despite heavy rainfall, Dharmasthala attracts visitors during the monsoon from July to October. The average temperature hovers between 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, providing relief from the heat. The rising Ganges level adds to the allure of the ghats, creating a captivating sight. However, be cautious near the riverside due to slippery algae.
