Not sure when is the right time to visit? Below is a description of the seasons in Hastinapur for your reference.

There are three main seasons in Hastinapur like the other cities in Uttar Pradesh and northern India. The first one is the summer season that starts in the first week of April and ends by June; temperatures during this time range from an average of 42°C in the day time to 32°C in the night, which is lesser than the day time but the feel is almost the same. The region is very hot during this time of the year and is not a recommended time to visit Hastinapur; you tend to get tired sooner than usual during this time because of the scorching heat and in the peak months of May and June, the climate becomes stuffy and quite unbearable. If you have to visit during this time, make sure you carry appropriate light clothes and drink a lot of water to beat the heat.

After the unforgiving heat in Hastinapur, the city gets some respite during monsoons that begin in the month of July and end in October. Temperatures during this time range from 32°C in the day to an average of 25°C in the night making it a much cooler season. This is the second best season to visit after winter as it is quite comfortable and one can go sightseeing without getting tired. The region sees a good amount of rainfall during these months and if you are okay with that then this is a good time to come see the city. There is a lot of humidity during these months, but at the same time the weather is pleasant with showers and cool winds.

The winter season is the best time to visit Hastinapur; chilly weather starts to set in by the last week of October and winter sets in fully by November, lasting until the end of March. Temperatures during this time range from 22°C in the day time to an average of 10°C in the night, making it much colder than the entire year. This is a great time to visit the city and enjoy sightseeing as you don’t get tired easily and can spend more time seeing and exploring everything. During the peak winter months of January and February, the temperature dips down even more and it may become quite cold. So you must carry warm clothes on your trip.
