Mandu in February
Madhya Pradesh, India
Go in February — peak clarity means sharp views across the Narmada and zero rain, but bring layers as mornings dip below 10°C.
Peak crowds
February is one of Mandu's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Peak Oct–Mar for heritage ruins tourism in cool season; May–Jun extreme heat suppresses visitors.
February from Rani Roopmati's Pavilion: the Narmada River shimmers 300m below in haze-free air. This view is why she refused to leave.
