March at Bhavnagar: 20-35C, humid coastal warmth creeping in. Takhteshwar and museums fine; outdoor heritage best before 10am. Palitana climb getting hot — pre-dawn 4am starts non-negotiable. Velavadar harrier roost reducing as migration departs late-month.

The March story

March is Bhavnagar's pivot month — Nilambag Palace stays remain comfortable (AC throughout), Takhteshwar Temple hilltop walks fine in pre-10am light, Barton Museum AC-cool any hour. The east-Saurashtra circuit day-trips compress: Palitana climb needs pre-dawn 4am starts to avoid heat-stroke on the exposed 3,800-step ascent, Velavadar harrier roost reducing as migrants depart late-March (Lothal ruins fully workable in shade). By month-end day-windows compress to 5:30-9am and 6-9pm. Bhavnagar makes most sense in March for travellers prioritising the Nilambag Palace heritage stay over the day-trip circuit.
