The best time to visit Khongjom is between October and March, when the weather is cool and dry. The northeastern monsoon brings heavy rain from June through September, making roads muddy and travel uncomfortable.
The most significant time to visit is around 23 April, when Khongjom Day is observed across Manipur. Cultural programmes, dances, and remembrance ceremonies are held at the war memorial and throughout the state to honour those who died in the 1891 battle. Attending these events gives the site a living resonance that a quiet off-season visit cannot match.
