This period is great for adventurers keen on jungle trekking, river activities, and wildlife spotting, as the drier conditions make trails more accessible and wildlife more visible.If your primary interest is water-based activities like river cruises or swimming in the waterfalls, the mid-season from May to July often provides the best balance of warm weather and comfortable water levels.
