It is the pleasant weather and festivities of Bhuj that attract the greatest number of visitors, which would make the winter season in Bhuj the best time to visit. The festivities in Bhuj begin roughly in October, with the celebration of Navratri as the weather gets cooler, making the period between October and March the perfect time to visit.
