Mar-May the curtain thins badly and the drive through 42 °C scrub is long; wait for the rains to switch it back on.

Monsoon June to September Prime time

Jul-Aug the falls turn into a brown thunderhead, bathing is off, and Godavari backwater can cut the Eturnagaram road.

Autumn October to November Prime time

Sep-Nov is the show: a full white curtain, jungle still wet and green, and the pool reopening as the current calms.
