Manori experiences a delightful winter season between November and February, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius. This is the ideal time to explore the city beyond the usual tourist spots, as the cool weather complements the blooming flowers and lush greenery. Enjoy relaxing evenings by the holy river with a cup of hot tea, embark on early morning boat rides to witness the stunning sunrise, and visit iconic landmarks like Banaras Hindu University, Durga Temple, and ISKCON Temple.

Despite heavy rainfall, Varanasi attracts many visitors during the monsoon season from July to October. With temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, the higher water levels in the Ganges draw people to the ghats for a captivating experience. However, be cautious of slippery paths due to algae accumulation. Witnessing the Ganga during peak monsoon is thrilling, offering a unique perspective of the city.
Summer in Manori, lasting from March to June, brings scorching temperatures reaching up to 45 degrees Celsius in April and May. The dry heat and high humidity make outdoor activities challenging. If visiting during this time, seek refuge by the riverside at Dashashwamedh Ghat, Assi Ghat, and Manikarnika Ghat. Indulge in the famous lassi and experience the auspicious Mahashivratri festival in February. Varanasi's summers are best avoided for extensive sightseeing.
