April and May are considered the cheapest times to visit the area. The weather is hot and dry and there is little to no rainfall. This time is great if you want to spend most of the time outdoors without sudden rains spoiling your plans. The hotel prices are lower compared to the rest of the year.

This can make your outdoor plans a bit challenging.
