The best time to go to Gandara West is during the dry season, which runs from December to March.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and low humidity, making it ideal for enjoying the coastline and outdoor activities. The seas are calmer, great for swimming and snorkelling. This period is particularly good for families looking for a relaxing beach holiday without the disruption of rain.

Another good period is from July to September, which sees slightly less rain than the inter-monsoon periods. While there might be occasional showers, they are usually brief, and there's still plenty of sunshine to enjoy. This shoulder season can offer good value for travellers, as it's less crowded than the peak dry season.

For those planning a trip outside these times, be aware that April to June and October to November are inter-monsoon periods, bringing higher rainfall and humidity.
