October to March is the best time to visit. Winters are mild and dry, with daytime temperatures comfortable for outdoor sightseeing and desert excursions. Nights can be cold, especially in December and January. Spring (February to April) is also pleasant. Summer (May to September) is very hot across the Punjab plains, with temperatures regularly exceeding 45°C in the Cholistan — desert visits are not advisable. Ramadan affects restaurant hours throughout the year.
