Why June–July is the Best Time to Visit Sringeri
Monsoon Magic in the Western Ghats
If you’re planning a Sringeri itinerary, June and July are the best months to do it. Monsoon revitalizes the Western Ghats, creating a meditative and invigorating experience.
During this time, Sringeri and the surrounding hills turn into a lush green haven. Waterfalls gush with renewed energy, the Tunga River is at its most scenic, and the forests become a symphony of bird calls and rustling leaves. Staying at a resort in Chikmagalur like ours gives you a front-row seat to this seasonal magic.
Another major advantage of visiting during June is the reduced crowd. Unlike festival periods, you can soak in the spiritual energy of Sringeri in peace. The temples are quiet, and the riverbanks offer solitude that is rare during peak seasons.
The weather is perfect for slow travel. Whether it’s journaling in your room, going for walks in the drizzle, or sipping hot coffee on your balcony, June lets you slow down and savor every moment.

Next, visit the Vidyashankara Temple, known for its architectural brilliance. Built-in the 14th century, it combines Hoysala and Dravidian styles and even has pillars aligned with zodiac signs.
In the evening, unwind by the Tunga River. The riverbank here is perfect for meditation, quiet conversation, or simply soaking your feet in the cool, flowing water. It’s a deeply calming experience.

Late Morning to Afternoon: Sirimane Falls & Agumbe
By mid-morning, it’s time to explore Sirimane Falls, just a short drive from Sringeri. These waterfalls are in full glory during the monsoon, and the trek to reach them is part of the fun. Don’t forget to wear shoes with a good grip and carry a raincoat.
After your waterfall adventure, stop for lunch at a local eatery in Sringeri or head back to the resort. Our chef prepares regional delicacies that are best enjoyed with a view of the rain-swept forest.
If you’re up for more exploration, take an optional trip to Agumbe, famously known as the “Cherrapunji of South India.” Agumbe is just about an hour away and offers mesmerizing views of the rainforest, valleys, and even sunset points when the clouds permit.
