Patna in October: a fine time to go
October: 31°C days — and inside the recommended window.
October is the first month of Patna's season (October – March), so rates are not yet at peak and the crowds are thinner. Hot days around 31°C, nights near 23°C, occasional rain. Stays run about 30% above the usual rate this month. Chhath Puja can fall in October, which changes both prices and what you can book.
November is in season too. The season runs to the end of March, 5 months away. The rains usually arrive in July, 9 months away. The heat usually builds in April, 6 months away.
