October to March is the recommended window. Avoid peak summer afternoons (45°C+ in May) and plan an early-morning departure during monsoon to reduce visibility risks. Most renters prefer early-morning departures (5-7 AM) to skip city traffic and reach destination by afternoon.

Avoid night driving on unfamiliar stretches. Expect ghats, hairpin bends, and steeper gradients on this route — drive in the lower gear on descents and check brake pads before departure. Avoid night driving on hill sections. If you must drive at night, stick to well-lit highway sections, keep emergency contacts handy, and plan an overnight halt rather than pushing through fatigue.
