Ideally, you should plan your visit to Vijayshree Resort and Heritage Village, Hampi, in the cool winter months between October and March, as the weather is pleasant. Summers (April to July) tend to be scorching hot as temperatures soar. Monsoons bring welcome relief from the summer heat and there’s a carpet of lush greenery everywhere but the iconic boulders of Hampi become extremely slippery and risky to climb. You can visit Club Mahindra any time of the year though, as each season offers different activities and experiences to be enjoyed.
