-
Dry Season (June to October): The dry season brings mild weather, making it ideal for hiking. However, wildflower blooms are less vibrant, and the scenery is drier, with more subdued colors across the grasslands.
-
Wet Season (November to May): The wet season is the best time to visit for flower enthusiasts, as the meadows burst into colorful blooms with wild orchids, lilies, and daisies covering the landscape. Birdwatching is also at its peak, with migratory birds arriving to join the resident species.
