Field notes
Three brutal stretches and one short comfortable one. Pre-monsoon (April–June) hits 43°C+. Monsoon (July–September) is the heavy rain stretch (10 mm/day at peak) with regular Ganga-flooding. Winter (November–February) is the only sustainable nomad window — sub-20°C nights with low humidity.
