Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to visit is during spring (April to June) when the forests are lush and green, and autumn (September to November) when the foliage turns golden. Early morning visits on weekdays help you beat the crowds and enjoy clearer views before afternoon mist rolls in.
