Koraput in December
Odisha, India
Go in December — peak season for cool weather, active shawl weaving, and tribal market visits, with moderate trekking conditions at 870m elevation.
Peak crowds
December is one of Koraput's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Remote tribal area peaks Oct–Feb for good weather; summer and monsoon (May–Aug) remain very quiet year-round.
