Best Time to Visit Kurnool
Kurnool has a semi-arid climate with scorching summers and mild winters. The best window to visit is the cool, dry post-monsoon season when the landscape is green.
✦ Visit between November and February for the most comfortable weather and clear access to all sites.
✅ Best months
November to February offer pleasant daytime temperatures (20–30°C) and clear skies, ideal for sightseeing and exploring the Belum Caves and Konda Reddy Fort, with moderate tourist numbers.
🔥 Peak season
The peak is December–January, when North Indian tourists flood in for winter holidays; hotel prices can double, and you’ll need to book rooms well ahead. No major local event drives it — just the national holiday season.
💷 Shoulder (best value)
October and March are the budget shoulder months: October sees post-monsoon greenery and lower rates (30% off peak), while March has tolerable mornings but hot afternoons. Fewer tourists and good hotel availability.
🌙 Quietest & cheapest
April–June is the quietest and cheapest period, with temperatures routinely above 40°C. Hotels drop prices by 40–50%, but outdoor activities are punishing and most travellers avoid the city.

🧳 What to pack
Pack a light shawl or scarf — Kurnool’s winter nights can drop to 15°C, and the air-conditioned buses and restaurants are often over-chilled even in summer.
