Walking between the large fort complexes and visiting the palaces is made comfortable by the good weather at this time of year, with moderate temperatures included. Travelling a large view from the forts is also assured by the clear winter skies. It is recommended not to enjoy much outdoor sightseeing during the hot summer months of April to June.
