Keoti Falls (Rewa) season by season
Winter December to February Shoulder
Dec-Feb the flow thins to a white ribbon, but the gorge is cool and clear and you can scramble down towards the plunge pool.
Summer March to May Mixed, read the detail
March already leaves the Mahana a trickle, and Apr-May the plateau hits 46 C with no shade at the viewpoint, so leave it alone.
Monsoon June to September Prime time
Jul-Aug it roars, but the approach lane is mud and the unfenced edge is dangerous in spray; September is the sensible pick.
Autumn October to November Prime time
Oct-Nov is the best of it: full water, dry rock and clean air, with Chachai 16 km on and Purwa falls in the same taxi day.
