All 12 Months
| Month | Score | Note |
|---|---|---|
| January | 5/5 | January at Junagadh: 10-26°C, cool days for Uparkot Fort, Buddhist caves, and the Ashokan edicts. Dry trail up Girnar if the ropeway queue runs long. |
| February | 4/5 | February at Junagadh: 14-30°C, dry fort climbs and clear Ashokan edict visits. Solid heritage window — edge of peak before Girnar region warms. |
| March | 3/5 | March at Junagadh: 19-35C. Fort, caves and Ashokan edicts are all workable early; midday on the exposed slopes gets uncomfortable. |
| April | 2/5 | Hot |
| May | 1/5 | Very hot |
| June | 2/5 | Pre-monsoon |
| July | 3/5 | July at Junagadh: 25–32°C, humid Saurashtra monsoon. Girnar steps slick, Ashokan edicts accessible — shoulder, full climb risky on rain days. |
| August | 3/5 | August at Junagadh: 24–30°C, peak Saurashtra monsoon. Buddhist caves and Nawabi core accessible — shoulder, Girnar climb dangerous in rain. |
| September | 3/5 | September at Junagadh: 24-32C. Caves and fort workable, Girnar's lower reaches greener than winter; upper climb can be slick after rain. |
| October | 4/5 | October at Junagadh: 22–34°C, Girnar climb and Buddhist caves workable post-monsoon. Ashokan edict walks pleasant — peak pilgrim and trekking season kicks off Nov. |
| Novemberviewing | 5/5 | Girnar Parikrama month |
| December | 5/5 | December at Junagadh: 12–28°C at Girnar's foot. Cool enough to combine the fort, Buddhist caves and Ashokan edicts in one unhurried day. |
