Tura in September
Meghalaya, India
Trails still muddy and slippery from heavy monsoon rains
September Tura begins drying out but the Garo Hills remember every raindrop. Trails are muddy, rivers are high, and patience is required.

All 12 Months
| Month | Score | Note |
|---|---|---|
| January | 8.0/10 | January Tura is the Garo Hills at their most approachable — 25-degree days, clear skies, and Nokrek Biosphere Reserve to yourself. |
| February | 8.0/10 | February Tura stays pleasant and empty. The Garo Hills are the least-visited corner of Meghalaya and February keeps it that way. |
| March | 8.0/10 | March Tura warms up but the Garo Hills compensate with waterfalls waking from dry season sleep. |
| April | 6.0/10 | April Tura is sticky. At 349m with no altitude relief, the heat and humidity make everything slower — including your enthusiasm for uphill walks. |
| May | 6.0/10 | May Tura is the Garo Hills sweating through their last dry weeks. |
| June | 4.0/10 | Monsoon arrives |
| July | 4.0/10 | Peak monsoon |
| August | 4.0/10 | Monsoon continues |
| Septemberviewing | 4.0/10 | Late monsoon |
| October | 8.0/10 | Post-monsoon clarity |
| November | 10.0/10 | Peak — Wangala festival |
| December | 8.0/10 | December Tura exhales after Wangala. The town is quiet, the weather is perfect, and the Garo Hills are yours without the drums. |
