Omkareshwar in April
Madhya Pradesh, India
Stone ghats become unbearable in afternoon heat—visit before 8am or skip April entirely
April bakes Omkareshwar's stone ghats into a barefoot challenge. The Narmada shrinks but the Jyotirlinga doesn't — it has drawn pilgrims through worse heat for centuries.
