• October to April: The best time to visit Karnataka is from October to April. The winters are a great time to attend the grand festival of Mysore Dussera and to enjoy a wildlife safari. However, being a peak season in the state, you might find Karnataka tourism packages with prices a bit on the higher side.
• July to September: Though some regions in Karnataka receive heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, travellers who enjoy trekking and are interested in witnessing the exquisite Jog Falls should choose the monsoons for booking their Karnataka trip packages.
• April to June: Due to its vicinity to the western coast, Karnataka gets quite humid during the summers, so the availability of Karnataka tourism packages with prices on the lower side is pretty much guaranteed. While the coastal parts are hotter, Karnataka hill stations are colder, so you can book your Karnataka trip packages accordingly.

All in all, the best time to visit this beautiful state would depend on the destinations that you have included in your Karnataka travel packages.
