The best time to visit Bajawa is during the dry season, which typically runs from April to October.
During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and traditional villages. The weather is generally warm but comfortable, great for activities like trekking to Mount Inerie or visiting the Ngada and Nagekeo villages.
For those planning to hike Mount Inerie, the dry season offers the clearest skies and most stable trail conditions, ensuring a more enjoyable and less challenging ascent. The views from the summit are particularly stunning during this period.
If your focus is on experiencing the local culture and attending traditional ceremonies, it's worth noting that many important events are scheduled during the dry season.
