💡 Good to know
- The cooler official sightseeing window is preferred, while admission, weekly closures, road transport and walking access still need confirmation.
- The caves remain a conditional product in the hot season. Start early, confirm current entry and transport, and reduce exposed walking when heat makes a full circuit unsafe.
- Monsoon greenery can be rewarding, but rain makes steps and paths slippery and can disrupt roads. Confirm conditions and do not promise waterfalls or unrestricted cave access.
